    1. The document describes conducting an open circuit test on a separately excited DC shunt generator to obtain its characteristics. 2. Key steps include connecting the apparatus as shown in the diagram, starting the motor to bring it up to rated speed, and reducing the generator field rheostat in steps to observe increasing field current and voltage until rated voltage is reached. 3. Readings for field current, voltage, and other values are recorded at each step to plot the open circuit characteristics curve of the generator.

    OCC Separately - GEN OPEN CIRCUIT CHARACTERISTICS OF SEPARATELY EXCITED DC SHUNT GENERATOR AIM: To conduct an open circuit test

    t on a given separately excited DC shunt generator and to obtain its characteristics. APPARATUS REQUIRED: Sl.No 1 2 3 4 PRECAUTIONS: 1. The field rheostat of motor should be at minimum position. 2. The field rheostat of generator should be at maximum position. 3. Load should not be connected to generator at the time of starting and stopping. PROCEDURE: 1. Connections are made as per the circuit diagram. 2. After checking minimum position of motor field rheostat, maximum position of generator field rheostat, DPST switch or MCB is closed. 3. Start the motor using a 3 point starter (To reduce the starting current). 4. By adjusting the motor field rheostat, the motor is brought to rated speed and is verified using a tachometer. 5. It is observed that the field current (iF) and voltage (Va) of the generator are increasing by reducing the field rheostat of the generator from max. Position in steps, until the rated voltage of 220 V, dc is observed on the voltmeter, connected across the generator. 6. Tabulate the readings observed in each step. 7. To switch off the motor, bring the generator filed rheostat to maximum position and motor field rheostat to minimum position. 8. Switch off the DPST switch or MCB. 9. It is observed that the 3 point starter handle is released automatically after a certain time. 3 point starter is used only for the purpose of starting. There is no other manual switch off.
