    OBJECT

    Energization of Benches installed in electrical machines lab, through main panel.

    APPARATUS

    1. Bench2. Main Panel

    THEORY

    Every motor-generator set bench located here in electrical machines laboratory is not

    directly connected to KESC supply. Instead of connecting bench with KESC supply, we have

    main panel which is connected with KESC supply and benches are connected with main panel.

    Every bench has DC supply, 3-supply, 1-supply and supply given to bench for services.

    Services supply is used for energization of any equipment through that specific bench for

    instance if we want to connect tachometer to abench, it is energized through service supply etc.

    Main panel has three major portions, namely

    1. Main supply-services-fix DC lines

    2. Main supply-single phase AC fix lines-three phase AC fix lines

    3. Main supply-interconnections

    1. Main supply-services-fix DC lines

    This is first portion and it includes a knife switch, three ammeters connected through CTs

    measuring phase current and a voltmeter connected through PT measuring Line voltage. Upon

    energization of this portion fans installed inside every bench start running and services switches

    of every bench are also energized. Except this one line diagram of fix DC supply is also on this

    portion.

    2. Main supply-single phase AC fix lines-three phase AC fix lines

    As the name suggest, one line diagram of single and three phase supply is located on thisportion, mean you can connect three phase and single phase supply to any bench through this

    portion.

    3. Main supply-interconnections

    The function of this portion is to interconnect different benches. If we are generating three

    phase AC supply or DC supply with the help of any motor-generator set and intend to give our

    generated supply to any DC or three phase AC motor located on any other bench, in this situation

    we can connect both benches through this portion.

    PROCEDURE

    1. Select any bench, to which you intend to energize2. With the help of single line diagram drawn on main panel, connect dc, single phase ac

    and three phase ac supply

    CIRCUIT DIAGRAM

    THEORY

    The magnetization characteristics also known as No load or Open circuitcharacteristics is the relation between emf generated and field current at a given speed.

    Due to residual magnetism in the poles, some emf is generated even when filed current is zero.Hence the curve starts a little way up. It is seen that the first part of the curve is practicallystraight. This is due the fact that at low flux densities reluctance of iron path is being negligible,

    total reluctance is given by air gap reluctance which is constant. Hence the flux and consequentlythe generated emf is directly proportional to exciting current. However at high flux densities iron

    path reluctance is being appreciable and straight relation between emf and field current no longer

    holds good. In other words saturation of poles starts.

    PROCEDURE

    1. Connect the shunt field to armature terminal through the ammeter, switch and rheostat.

    2. Connect the multi-range voltmeter across the terminals of armature.3. Press yellow switch on and increase AC voltage of induction motor (prime mover) by

    the help of 3-phase autotransformer until it reaches at normal speed.4. Note the reading of voltmeter which indicates the voltage due to residual magnetism.5. Close field switch and excite the field at low current.

    6. Increase the field current in steps and note the voltage each time.7. Take at least 11-12 readings.

    RESULT

    1. The curve starts somewhat above the origin. The voltage at zero excitation is due to

    residual magnetism of the field, which is necessary for building up the voltage of self-excitation generator.

    2. The voltage increases rapidly at first and then changes a little in value at higher excitationsindicating the effect of the poles saturation.

    THEORY

    Load characteristic curve is the graphical representation which shows change in terminal

    voltage with respect to change in load. After building up of voltage, if a shunt generator is loadedthen terminal voltage drops with increase in load current. There are three main reasons for the

    drop of terminal voltage for a shunt generator under load.

    i) Armature Reaction

    Armature reaction is the effect of magnetic field set up by the armature current on the

    distribution of flux under main poles of a generator. Due to demagnetizing effect of armaturereaction , pole flux is weakened and so induced e.m.f in the armature is decresed.

    ii)Armature Resistance

    As the load current increases, more voltage is consumed in ohmic resistance of armature

    circuit. Hence the terminal voltage (Vt=EIaRa) is decreased where E is the e.m.f induced inarmature under load condition.

    iii)Drop In Terminal Voltage

    The drop in terminal voltage (Vt) due to armature resistance and armature reaction resultsin decreased field current, which further reduces e.m.f induced.

    For a shunt generator

    Ia = IL+ IfE = Vt+ IaRa

    PROCEDURE

    1. Make the connections as shown in circuit diagram.

    2. Press yellow switch on and increase AC voltage of induction motor (prime mover) bythe help of 3-phase autotransformer until it reaches at normal speed.

    3. When motor reaches rated speed, close the shunt field switch.

    4. Increase field current by changing the field resistance until the terminal voltage reaches to220 volt.

    5. Close the switch of load and vary the load current by means of load rheostat.6. Note down the meter readings from all meters carefully.

    THEORY

    The load or external characteristic of a generator is the relation between the terminalvoltage and load current. The characteristic expressed the manner in which the voltage across theload varies with I, the value of load current. The internal or total characteristic of a generator is the

    relation between the e.m.f actually induced in the generator Eaand the armature current Ia.Theinternal characteristic of the generator, which is separately excited, can be obtained as below:

    Let:

    Vt = Terminal voltage, Ia= Armature current, Ra= Armature resistanceThen,

    Ea= Vt+ IaRa

    THEORY

    One of the classifications of parts of electric motors is according to the state of

    component i.e. stationary or rotating. If it is rotating, it is called rotor otherwise it is known asstator. Construction of rotor in DC motor is different from rotor used in 3-phase induction motor.

    Therefore here we will discuss them individually.

    ROTOR OF DC MOTOR

    It is also known as armature, it consists of armaturecore, armature winding and

    commutator.

    (i) Armature core:It is cylindrical in shape and made up of silicon steel sheets. It carriesarmature winding, causes them to rotate and hence cut the magnetic flux produced by

    field winding- located in stator core. It is important to bear in mind, function ofarmature core is to provide very low reluctance path to the flux through the armaturefrom N-pole to S-pole.

    (ii) Armature winding:There are two types of armature winding(i) Lap winding (ii) Wave winding

    Lap winding is used in high current and low voltage machines whereas use of wave winding is for low current and high voltage machines.

    (iii) Commutator:Function of commutator in DC motor is to produce unidirectional

    torque. In DC motors we are providing DC supply through commutator. It is ofcylindrical structure and built up of segments of hard drawn copper. These segmentsare insulated from each other by layer of mica. The number of segments is equal to the

    number of armature coil.

    Rotors of 3- Phase Induction Motors:

    Process of energy conversion in induction motor took place by induction principalhence rotor is not electrically connected either with stator or with external supply. There are two

    types of rotors used in induction motor, discussed below:

    Squirrel Cage Rotor:

    Almost 90 percent of induction motors are squirrel-cage type, because this type of rotorhas the simplest and most rugged construction imaginable and is almost indestructible. Therotor consists of a cylindrical laminated core with parallel slots for carrying the rotor

    conductors which, it should be noted clearly, are not wires but consists of heavy bars ofcopper, aluminum or alloys. One bar is placed in each slot; rather the bars are inserted from the

    end when semi-closed slots are used. The rotor bars are brazed or electrically welded or boltedto two heavy and stout short-circuiting end-rings, thus giving us, what is so picturesquelycalled, a squirrel-case construction.

  • 8/13/2019 EE-241 Electrical Machines I _2012

    23/33

    Electr ical Machines-I LAB SESSION 08

    NED University of Engineering and Technology Department of Electrical Engineering

    - 2 0 -

    It should be noted that the rotor bars are permanently short-circuited by themselves; hence it is

    not possible to add any external resistance in series with the rotor circuit for starting purposes.The rotor slots are usually not quite parallel to the shaft but are purposely given a slight skew.

    This is useful in two ways:(1) It helps to make the motor run quietly by reducing the magnetic hum and

    (2) It helps in reducing the locking tendency of the rotor i.e. the tendency of the rotor teeth to

    remain under the stator teeth due to direct magnetic attraction between the two.

    Phase-wound Rotor

    This type of rotor is provided with 3-phase,double-layer, distributed windingconsisting of coils as used in alternator. The rotor is wound for as many poles as the number o

    stator poles and is always wound 3-phase even when the stator is wound two-phase `.The three phases are starred internally; the other winding terminals are brought out and

    connected to three insulated slip-rings mounted on the shaft with brushes resting on them.These three brushes are further externally connected to a three-phase star-connected rheostat,

    this makes possible the introduction of additional resistance in the rotor circuit during thestarting period for increasing the starting torque of the motor and for changing its speed-torque/current characteristics. When running under normal conditions, the slip-rings are

    automatically short-circuited by means of a metal collar, which is pushed along the shaft andconnects all the rings together. Next, the brushes are automatically lifted from the slip-rings to

    reduce the frictional losses and the wear and tear. Hence, it is seen that under normal runningcondition, the wound rotor is short-circuited on itself just like the squirrel-case rotor.

    OBJECTTo study parallel operation of two dc generators and shift of load on one another.

    APPARATUS

    1. Two Voltmeters (0 600V)

    2. Two Ammeters (0 15A)

    THEORY:

    This arrangement of operation in parallel can be made to meet the load demand easily andwork them near to their maximum efficiency. It also helps to prevent the complete shut down in

    case any generator fails.

    1. If two or more generators run at full load then it is more economical and also improvesefficiency.

    2. Periodical over halving and general repairs can be carried out without shut down to totalsupply; only one generator can be shut down.

    3. If load on the power station increases, additional generators can be added to the already

    working generators.

    For proper synchronizing of generators the following condition must be achieved.

    1. The terminal voltage of incoming generator must be the same as that of the runninggenerator.

    2. Polarity of the incoming generator should be the same as line polarity.

    PROCEDURE

    1.Connect the generators and meters as shown in the diagram and check connections.

    The purpose of this test is to determine no load loss or core loss and no load current Io

    which is helpful in finding Xo and Ro.One winding of the transformer which ever is convenient but usually high voltage winding

    is left open and the other is connected to its supply of normal volt and frequency. A wattmeter,voltmeter and ammeter are connected in low voltage winding i.e. Primary winding in the presentcase.Normal voltage is applied toprimary normal flux willbe set up in the core hence normal iron

    OBJECT

    To find out the Cu losses of a single phase transformer by short circuit test.

    APPARATUS

    1. Voltmeter (0-15V)

    2. Wattmeter (0-750)3. Ammeter (0-15A)

    THEORY

    In this test one winding (usually low voltage winding) is short circuited by a thick conductor orby means of ammeter (Which may serve an additional purpose of indicating rated load). A low

    voltage (5-10% of the normal voltage) at normal frequency is applied to the primary andgradually increased, till full load current is flowing in both primary and secondary.

    Since in this test the applied voltage is a small percentage of the normal voltage themutual flux produced is also a small percentage of its normal value. Hence core losses are verysmall with the result that the wattmeter reading represents the full load copper loss.

    PROCEDURE

    1. Make connections according to the given circuit.

    2. Connect primary of transformer with variable ac voltage supply.3. Note down transformer rated current from name plate data and keep on increasing

    voltage until you get rated current read by Ammeter connected.

    To observe the effect of increasing load on DC shunt motors speed, armature current, and field

    current.

    THEORY

    Here AC generator is used as load on dc shunt motor. As we know generator has counter torque

    which opposes input power given by dc shunt motor and counter torque is dependant loadcurrent. Hence on increasing load on generator, it will develop more counter torque, thus more

    load will be reflected on dc shunt motor.

    If= (Field current equation)

    In shunt dc motor field is connected in parallel with armature. From its speed equation it is vivid,on increasing load speed will drop due to increased armature drop.

    Decrease in speed will decrease back e.m.f. and consequently armature current will increase. Asfor as field current is concern, it will remain constant until and unless terminal voltage remains

    constant.

    PROCEDURE

    11. Make the circuit as shown in figure.

    12. Keep the motor starting rheostat at its maximum position and field rheostat at its minimumposition while starting motor.

    13. Start the motor by pressing yellow switch "ON" without load.14. Adjust the motor start rheostat to its minimum value

    15. Note down the readings of instrument connected.16. Now connect electrical load on generator and start increasing load in steps.

    17. After every step, note down readings of instrument connected.18. Draw curves between armature current and load current and between speed and load

    current

    3. DC Supply

    4. Techometer

    CIRCUIT DIAGRAM

    THEORY

    To understand how the synchronous motor works, assume that the application of three-

    phase ac power to the stator causes a rotating magnetic field to be set up around the rotor. The

    rotor is energized with dc (it acts like a bar magnet). The strong rotating magnetic field attracts

    the strong rotor field activated by the dc. This results in a strong turning force on the rotor shaft.

    The rotor is therefore able to turn a load as it rotates in step with the rotating magnetic field. It

    works this way once its started.

    However, one of the disadvantages of a synchronous motor is that it cannot be started from

    a standstill by applying three-phase ac power to the stator and dc to its rotor. When ac is applied

    to the stator, a high-speed rotating magnetic field appears immediately. This rotating field rushes

    past the rotor poles so quickly that the rotor does not have a chance to get started. In effect, the

    rotor is repelled first in one direction and then the other. A synchronous motor in its purest form

    has no starting torque. It has torque only when it is running at synchronous speed. A squirrel-

    cage type of winding is added to the rotor of a synchronous motor to cause it to start. The

    squirrel cage is shown as the outer part of the rotor in figure. It is so named because it is shaped

    and looks something like a turn able squirrel cage. Simply, the windings are heavy copper bars

    shorted.Hence, three phase synchronous motor is not self started. At the starting time, it behaves

    as induction motor and gets accelerated. Once it approaches speed near to synchronous speed, its

    rotor winding is excited then synchronous motor start rotating at synchronous speed. If we have

    given rotor supply at start, motor will just produce humming sound.

    PROCEDURE

    19. Make the circuit and switch on both ac and dc supply and observe the performance.

    20. Disconnect dc supply, switch on ac supply and observe the performance.21. When motor run near to synchronous speed, which already calculated, switch on dc

    supply also and observe the behavior.
