‘Instructions to the Candidates’

1. Students should come with thorough preparation for the experiment to be

conducted.

2. Students will not be permitted to attend the laboratory unless they bring the

practical record fully completed in all respects pertaining to the experiment

conducted in the previous class.

3. Experiment should be started only after the staff-in-charge has checked

the circuit diagram.

4. All the calculations should be made in the observation book. Specimen

calculations for one set of readings have to be shown in the practical

record.

5. Wherever graphs are to be drawn, A-4 size graphs only should be used

and the same should be firmly attached to the practical record.

6. Practical record should be neatly maintained.

7. The students should obtain the signature of the staff-in-charge in the

observation/manual book after completing each experiment.

8. Theory regarding each experiment should be written in the practical record

before procedure in your own words.

Instructions to the students’

1. Come prepared to the lab with relevant theory about the experiment you

are conducting.

2. Before switching on the power supply, make sure that the voltage knobs

are in minimum position and current knobs are in maximum position.

3. While using electrolytic capacitors, connect them in the right polarity.

Procedure

a. Open Circuit Test

1. Connections are made as shown in the circuit diagram (11.a)

2. Keeping the rheostat R1 in the field circuit of motor in cut-out position, the rheostat

R2 in the armature circuit of the motor and the rheostat R3 in field circuit of the

alternator in cut-in positions and TPST (S2) in open position, the supply switch (S1)

4. By gradually cutting out the rheostat R3, the readings of ammeter (A1, 0-2A) and

voltmeter (V) are noted down.

5. The above step is continued until voltmeter reads about 1.25 times the rated

voltage of the alternator.

b. Short Circuit Test

1. The rheostat R3 is brought to its initial position (cut-in) and TPST (S2) is closed.

2. By gradually cutting out the rheostat R3, reading of the ammeter (A2, 0-10/20A) is

adjusted to the rated current of the alternator and the corresponding field current

(A1) is noted down.

3. All the rheostats are brought back to their respective initial positions, TPST switch

(S2) and supply switch (S1) are opened.

Determination of Armature Resistance (Ra) by V-I Method

1. Connections are made as shown in the circuit diagram (11.b)

2. Keeping the rheostat in cut-in position, the supply switch (S1) is closed, Rheostat is

adjusted to any value of current (say 1A) and the readings of ammeter and

voltmeter are noted down.

3. The supply switch (S1) is opened.

Calculation

I. EMF Method

i. Draw OCC and SCC for suitable scales as shown in model graph no (1).

ii. Mark a point A on the OCC corresponding to the rated voltage and draw a

Perpendicular so that it cuts SCC line at a point B and X-axis at point C.

iii. Corresponding to point A, E1 is the open circuit voltage per phase, and BC is the

Short circuit current.

Therefore Synchronous impedance per phase Zs = E1/I1Ω (If Constant)

Synchronous reactance per phase Xs = √ Zs2- Ra

2 Ω

iv. Determination of % Regulation:

V = Rated voltage per phase, Volt.

I = Rated Current, Ampere.

Ф = Phase angle

(a) Regulation for lagging power factor:

From the vector diagram, as shown in fig.(2)

OB = √OA2 + AB2

i.e. E = √((V cosФ+ IRa)2 + (V sinФ + IXs)2) Volt.

Therefore %R= 100*

(b) Regulation for leading power factor:

II. MMF Method

i. Draw the OCC and SCC for suitable scales as shown in model graph no. (2)

ii. Mark the point F on the OCC corresponding to the rated voltage.

iii. Draw a perpendicular and let it cuts X-axis at point A.

iv. Mark the point G on SCC corresponding to the rated current, Isc, now, OA = Field

current required to produce rated voltage under open circuit condition and OC = Field

current required to produce full load current under short circuit condition.

a. Regulation for lagging power factor: model graph no. (2)

At point A, take the vector at an angle = (90+Ф); Where Ф is the lagging power

factor angle and take AB = OC.

Therefore OB = Total field current (Vector sum) in Ampere.

(with ‘O’ as center and radius equal to OB, an arc is drawn cutting X-axis at point

‘D’. projection of ‘D’ on OCC gives the no-load voltage Et )

Therefore %R= 100*

Therefore Ф = 36.86

tanθ = ( V Sin Ф ± I Xq ) / (V Cos Ф + I Ra) ( Note: + → lag , - → lead)

θ = tan-1 ((V Sin Ф ± I Xq ) / (V Cos Ф + I Ra))

and now the alternator is connected in parallel with the bus bar.

respective initial positions, and supply switch (S1) is opened.

d. Construction of Potier Triangle

1. Draw OCC and SCC for suitable scales.

2. A tangent drawn to OCC curve represents the air gap line.

3. Point B is obtained from ZPF test, which indicates the full load current for a

particular field current Ifvalue when power consumed by load is zero.

4. Point A is marked on X-axis such that OA represents the field current required to

drive full load current at short circuit condition. It is equal and opposite to the

demagnetizing armature reaction and balancing leakage reactance drop at full

load.

5. Points A and B are joined to get ZPF curve which is parallel to OCC curve.

6. From point B a point H is marked such that BH=OA.

7. From point H a line HD is drawn parallel to the tangent such that it cuts OCC

curve at point D.

8. Join DB. Now triangle BHD is known as ‘Potier Triangle’.

9. A perpendicular line DF is drawn, which represents the armature voltage drop

(IXL) due to armature leakage reactance.



Model Graph

e. Determination of No-Load EMF (Eo)

1. From point D, perpendicular line is drawn to X-axis and horizontal line to

Y-axis to locate point G and E respectively. DG is measured on Y-axis, which

represents E and field current corresponding to E is OG.

2. A line NA is drawn such that NA=BF, which represents the field current

required to overcome armature reaction.

3. NA is added to OG as in case of MMF method. GM is marked such that

GM=NA at an angle (90+ Ф) from point G. Now points O & M are joined, which

represents the resultant excitation required to generate no-load EMF Eo.

4. With O as center, OM as radius an arc is drawn which cuts X-axis at point P.

5. From point P a vertical line is drawn to X-axis such that it cuts OCC at a

point Q. It is extended to Y-axis, measures Eovolts,

f. Determination of Resultant Field Current (Ifr)

1. BF is measured, which gives field current If1, ampere.

2. DF is measured, which gives Reactive drop IXL, volt.

3. Considering lagging power factor,

Where V= voltage/ phase, volt.

a. I= rated current, ampere.

This value is measured on Y-axis.
