REGULATION OF A THREE PHASE ALTRENATOR BY EMF AND MMF METHODS

AIM:

To conduct OC and SC tests on a given 3-Φ alternator and hence to predetermine the regulation by

(i) EMF method (ii) MMF method.

APPARATUS REQUIRED:

S. No. Apparatus Range &Type Quantity

1 Alternator Set up - I No.

2 Rheostat 200 Ω/3 A 2 Nos.

3 Voltmeter AC (0-600 V), MI I No.

4 Ammeter AC (0-10 A), MI I No.

5 Ammeter DC (0-2 A), MC I No.

6 Tachometer - 1No.

7 DPST Switch and TPST Switch - 1 each

8 Connecting wires & Fuse - As Required

THEORY:

Loading an alternator causes its terminal voltage to drop or rise depending upon (i) Magnitude of

load (ii) Nature of load. For a pure resistive load it drops by 8-12% below no-load value while for a

lagging p.f. load the drop is 25-50% below no load value and it is 20-30% higher for leading p.f. loads. The

reasons are 1) Armature resistance 2) Armature winding leakage reactance and 3) Armature reaction.

Electromotive force (EMF) and Magnetomotive force (MMF) methods are used to predetermine the

regulation of non-salient pole alternators. In emf method, the effect of armature reaction is represented as a

fictitious reactance Xar for each phase of the alternator. In mmf method effect of armature leakage reactance

is replaced by additional armature reaction. MMF method is more accurate.

Direct load Test is not preferred due to the absence of large sized loads and the enormous power

wastage involved in testing. Voltage regulation is defined as a percentage of rated voltage when load

current is reduced to zero suddenly by throwing off the load keeping If and speed constant.

PRECAUTIONS: (Not to be included in the Record)

1. Remove the fuse before starting wiring.

2. Fuse rating calculation: Since this is no load test, the required fuse rating is only 20% of the rated

current of the alternator.

3. Keep Motor field Rheostat in minimum resistance Position.

4. Keep the potential divider for alternator field in minimum voltage position.

5. Check that the TPST on alternator side is open.

PROCEDURE:

1. The circuit connections are given as shown in the circuit diagram.

2. Keeping the motor field rheostat in the indicated position and with the TPSTS open, the motor

supply is switched ON, by closing DPSTS1.

3. Motor is started using the 3-point starter by moving the handle from OFF to ON position and the

motor is brought to its rated speed by adjusting the rheostat in the motor field circuit.

4. Supply is switched on to the field winding of alternator by closing the DPSTS2.

4

O.C. TEST:

1. Using the 200 ohm potential divider, current in field circuit is increased in steps of 0.1A and at each

step the alternator induced voltage indicated by voltmeter and the corresponding field current (If) are

noted in tabular column.

2. This procedure is continued until the alternator voltage is 120% of its rated voltage.

3. After completing O.C. Test, the potential divider and motor field rheostat are brought to its

minimum position.

4. After completing the experiment, calculate Synchronous Impedance, Synchronous Reactance &

Regulation using the formulae given.

5. Using the data, Plot the graph between Eo Vs If.

S.C. TEST:

1. The alternator terminals are short circuited by closing TPST switch through an ammeter.

2. The rated current is made to flow through the armature of the stator windings by carefully adjusting

220 ohms potential divider from the minimum position.

3. After completing the experiment, calculate the Load current, Field Current and Regulation.

7 Connecting wires & fuse - As Required

THEORY:

Squirrel cage induction motors are so called because of the rotor construction, which is the most

rugged construction. The rotor conductors are heavy bars of copper, Aluminium that are permanently short-

circuited. The rotor slots are given a slight skew for quieter operation and to prevent the locking tendency of

the rotor. The direct load test is conducted on the squirrel cage induction motor to plot its performance

characteristics under loading condition. This is more accurate than the predetermination techniques as the

latter doesn’t take into account the effect of factors such as temperature, which cause significant change in

its operation.


1. Remove the fuse carrier before starting wiring

2. Fuse rating calculation: Since this is load test, the required fuse rating is only 120% of the rated

current of the motor

3. Before switching on the supply ensure the motor in on no load condition and the autotransformer is

in the minimum position

4. Replace the fuse carriers with appropriate fuse wires after the circuit connections are checked by the

staff in charge

21

PROCEDURE:

1. The connections are given as shown in circuit diagram.

2. The 3Ф ac supply is switched ON to the motor using the starter.

3. Under this load condition, one set of readings of the ammeter (IL), voltmeter (VL), wattmeter (W), spring

balance and the speed (N) of motor are noted down.

4. Now the mechanical load on motor is increased in regular steps in such a way that the current drawn by

the motor increases in steps of 1A.

5. At each step of loading, the entire meter readings are noted down in the tabular column.

6. This procedure is continued until the current drawn by the motor equals 120% of its rated value.

7. After the experiment is completed, the main supply is switched OFF.

8. After completing the experiment, Torque, Output Power, Power Factor, % Slip and % efficiency are

calculated by using the given formulae.

9. Using the obtained data, the plot of % efficiency Vs Output power, .% Slip vs Output power,

THEORY:

This is a predetermination technique used to calculate the characteristics of the motor under

difference load conditions without actually loading the machine. The disadvantages of direct load test are (i)

Absence of loads of large magnitude (ii) Wastage of large amount of power during testing. The results

obtained are accurate enough for practical purposes. Therefore we apply the predetermination techniques to

obtain the load characteristics of the machine. From the losses obtained in these tests the equivalent circuit

of three phase induction motor can be determined and drawn.

PRECAUTIONS: (Not to be included in record)

1. Remove the fuse carriers before wiring and start wiring as per the circuit diagram.

2. Fuse Calculations: This being a load test, the required fuse ratings are 120% of rated current.

3. All the meter readings are noted down for this no-load condition.

4. If anyone of the wattmeter shows a negative deflection, then bring the autotransformer to the

minimum position, switch off the supply and reverse the current coil connection. Then apply rated

voltage and record this wattmeter reading as a negative power.

5. The autotransformer is brought back to its minimum position and the mains are switched OFF.

BLOCKED ROTOR TEST:

1. The circuit connections are given as per the circuit diagram,

2. With the autotransformer starter in minimum position and the rotor in blocked position, the mains

are switched ON.

3. By varying the autotransformer, the input voltage is gradually increased such that the ammeter reads

rated current.

4. All the meter readings are noted down in this condition.

in some type of motors for starting squirrel cage rotor, when fed from a single phase only

alternating one which alternates along one phase axis only. Now, alternating or pulsating flux

acting on a stationary squired cage rotor cannot produce rotation that is why a single phase motor is

not self starting.

BLOCKED ROTOR TEST

PRECAUTION


2. The three phase auto transformer should be kept at minimum potential position at the time of

starting the experiment.

3. For the blocked rotor test, the load is applied on the rotor and the rotor is not allowed to rotate.

4. During the blocked rotor test, the three phase auto transformer should be adjusted carefully and the

current should not exceed the rated current of the motor.

PROCEDURE

NO LOAD TEST



3. Start the motor by varying the three phase auto transformer gradually.

4. At no load all the meter readings should noted down.

5. The three phase auto transformer should be reduced to zero potential position.

6. Open the D. P. S. T. switch.

BLOCKED ROTOR TEST


2. The load applied on the brake drum and the rotor is not allowed to rotate.


4. The three phase auto transformer should be adjusted gradually till the ammeter reads the rated

current of the motor.

5. All the meter readings should be noted down.

6. The three phase auto transformer should be reduced to zero potential position.

7. Open the D. P. S. T. switch.

TABULAR COLOUMN

OPEN CIRCUIT TEST

Sl. No. Voltage, Vo (V) Current, Io (A) Power, Wo (W)

SHORT CIRCUIT TEST

Sl. No. Voltage, VSC (V) Current, ISC (A) Power, WSC (W)

FORMULAE

W0 = V0 I0 COS ф0

COS ф0 = W0 / (V0 I0)

IC = I0 COS ф0

Im = I0 SIN ф0

R0 = VO / IC

X0 = V0 / Im

X2 = Xeq / 2

R2 = Req - R1

R0 = V0 / (I0 COS ф0)

X0 = V0 / (I0 SIN ф0)

R01 = WSC / ISC2

X01 = √ Z012 - R01

2

R2 = R01 – (Rm llel Rs)

X2 = X01 – (Xm llel (XS - XL))

XS = √ ZS2 – RS

2

Xm = √ Zm2 – Rm

2

ZSC = VSC / ISC

RSC = WSC / ISC2

XSC = √ ZSC2 – RSC

2

Slip = (Ns - Nr) / Ns

R2l = RSC – R1

X2l = X1 = XSC / 2

Xm = 2 (X0 – X1 – (X2l / 2))

35

RESULT

Thus the equivalent circuit of single phase induction motor has been drawn using no load and

blocked rotor tests.
