1.A.1-Objective:
The purpose of this experiment is to find the iron losses from no-load test and to determine the
magnetizing branch parameters.
1.A.2-Theory:
The purpose of no load or open circuit test is to measure the iron losses and the components Iw and
Im of the no load –current and hence find the parameters Ro and Xo of the equivalent circuit of the
transformer.
For this purpose, one of the winding is open circuited and rated voltage at rated frequency is applied
to the other winding. Generally in practice the H.V. winding is kept open and L.V. winding is excited and
measurements are made on L.V. side. This is so because if the measurements are made on H.V. side the
voltage to be applied and measured would be very large and no-load current Io will be very small. It is
immaterial which winding is excited as long as normal voltage at normal frequency is applied since the
iron losses and the fluxes will be same in both cases .The connection diagram for this test is shown in fig
(1.3).
The equivalent-circuit of the transformer for the no-load condition is shown in fig(2.a) but since Io Z1 is
very small, the circuit will be reduced to that shown in fig (1.1.a).
Let V o, Io and Po be the reading of voltmeter, ammeter and wattmeter respectively. Neglect the small
I o2 R 1 , copper losses. Hence from figure (1.1.b), we have

1.B.1-Objective:
The purpose of this experiment is to find the copper losses from short circuit test and hence estimate
the efficiency for different load conditions and to determine the series impedance parameters.
1.B.2-Theory:
The purpose of this test is to find the copper losses at full load and to find R eq and Xeq of the
transformer. For this purpose , one of the winding is short-circuited and a suitably small voltage is
applied to the other winding so as to circulate full-load currents in the transformer windings. The applied
voltage will be nearly that required to overcome the total impedance voltage drop of the windings and
will be generally a few percent of rated value. Generally the L.V. winding is short-circuited and H.V.
winding is excited. Because if the measurements are made on the L.V. side, the voltage would be very
low and the current would be very high. It is immaterial which winding, is excited since the copper losses
will be the same. The connection diagram for this test is shown in fig.(1.6).
Since the applied voltage is small the mutual flux is small and the magnetizing current and the core-
losses may be neglected. The wattmeter reading will be equal to the total copper losses in both the
windings corresponding to the current flowing in the circuit. Since the P.F. of the circuit is low, a low
power factor wattmeter is to be used in the circuit. Fig (1.4.a) and (1.4.b) shows the eq. circuit of the
transformer for the short-circuit condition and Fig(1.5) show the phasor diagram of Zeq .
Let Vsc, Isc and Psc be the readings of the voltmeter , Ammeter and wattmeter respectively.

2.1-Objective:-
Load test is used to determine the voltage regulation and efficiency of small transformers.
2.2-Theory :-
The indirect method is used to determine the efficiency and regulation of large transformers, since it is
not practical to carry a load test on these transformers. The load test can be used with small
transformers, Since the provisions of test facilities and the dissipation of the load energy are available.
The efficiency is determined directly from the measurements of input and output powers. i.e.
If the applied primary voltage is kept constant, then the terminal voltage will vary with the load and
then regulation is given by:-

3.1-Objective :
To study the principle of parallel operation of two single phase transformers
3.2-Theory:
Transformers which are to operate in parallel are connected in parallel on both the primary and
secondary sides main attention being given to the polarity of each. The following conditions must be
established to give satisfactory operation, so that the load will be divided among the units in proportion
to their rating and both reach their full load simultaneously:
1- primary winding of transformers should be suitable for the supply voltage and frequency .
2- The transformers should be properly connected with regard to polarity.
3- The voltage ratings of both primaries and secondaries should be identical. In other words the
transformers should have the same transformation ratio.
4- The equivalent impedance should be inversely proportional to the kVA ratings so that currents will
be proportional to their ratings.
5- The ratio of equivalent resistance to equivalent reactance should be same for each transformer. So
that all the currents will be in phase.
Any two single phase transformers will have the same polarity when their instantaneous terminal
voltages are in phase, with this condition, voltmeter connected across similar terminals should read zero.
if however the voltage measured is twice the normal voltage . Then the two transformers have the
opposite polarity and one of them must be reversed.
Different R / X ratio or impedance ratios can be obtained in the case of two identical transformers
by connecting a known external resistance or reactance in series with one transformer.
3.3- Procedure:
1- Connect two single phase transformers and the instruments as shown in the circuit diagram of
fig(3.1) .
2- Vary the load resistance and take readings of all instruments take one at rated currents.
3- Repeat 2 with small resistance connected in series with the primary of one of the transformers to
change R / X ratio.

3.5-Discussions:
1. Discuss the division of current and power between the two transformers when R / X ratios are
equal and when it is unequal .
2. Draw the phasor diagram for two transformers in parallel and explain it is features .

4.1-Objective:
To determine the iron and copper losses of transformer and thus estimate the of the
transformer at different load conditions.
4.2-Theory:
Back -to Back tests on electrical machines permit two similar machines to be connected back to
back in such a way that one operates as a motor and the other as a generator. Full current at rated
voltage can circulate between the two machines and only the power to supply the full load losses are
provided by the mains. Such a test on two similar d.c. shunt machines is called “Hopkinson test” and on
two similar single- phase transformers “Sumpner test”.
If the secondaries are now connected to a variable low voltage source V2 and the injected voltage
is so adjusted to pass full load current through the secondaries, a condition similar to full-load
transformers are created but with the difference that the power drawn from the source Vo will be only
total iron-losses and the power drawn from the source V 2 will be to supply the total copper-losses of the
two transformers. The injected voltage V2 is equal to the equivalent impedance drop in the transformers.
The reading of W2 will be the copper - losses of transformers and hence the copper-loss of each
transformer will be W2/2.
[16]
September 14 2014 Lab. of AC Electrical Machines Electromechanical Eng. Dept
In practice, the full - load temperature-rise of the transformers can be studied by circulating the
full-load current through the secondaries for sufficient number of hours till the windings temperature
becomes steady. Thus this method enables to conduct “heat-run tests”, with power consumed equal to
sum of total losses of the two transformers only.
4.3-Procedure:
1- Connect the two transformers as shown in fig (4.1), with the switch S1 being kept open.
2- Switch on the primary voltage source Vo and apply rated voltage across the two primaries. Take
the readings of V o, Io and Wo.
3- Note the reading of voltmeter V3 across the switch S1.If the secondaries are properly
connected, the voltage a cross the switch S1 will be zero. Otherwise it will be twice the
secondary voltage. In which case the terminals of one of the secondaries are to be reversed
to obtain the voltage across the switch S1 equal to zero.
4- After making sure the voltage a cross switch S1=0, close the switch S and gradually increase the
secondary source voltage V 2 in steps to circulate a secondary current. Note the reading of all
instruments in the secondary circuit I2, V 2 and W2 at each step till I2 reads full load current
.Observe that the readings of Io, Vo and Wo will be unchanged and will remain constant as
recorded in step 1.
5- Temperature rise at full load can be calculated by “resistance method”, by allowing the full load
current to ow through for 3-4 hours and recording the ambient temperature and the
resistances of the windings before the start of the experiment and immediately after the
experiment. (the students are not required to do this part of the experiment but may discuss
this in this report).
1- Calculate the iron loss Pi and copper less Pcu of each transformer for full load condition.
2- Calculate the at 25%, 50%, 75%, 100% and 125% full load condi ons for unity p.f. and 0.8 p.f.

Experiment No.( 5 )
To measure the iron and copper losses of a three –phase transformer. This test can also be used as
a heat – run test to determine the temperature rise of the transformer but this is beyond the scope of
this experiment.
5.2-Theory:
The primary and secondary of the transformer are delta – connected and the three phase rated
supply is applied to the primary with the secondary is open delta clearly the total power supplied will
then be the no-load (iron) loss of the transformer.
If the secondary delta is opened at one point no fundamental voltage appears at the open ends, though
third harmonic voltage will appear since such voltages for the three phase are added – up. If a single-
phase low voltage is now applied to the open secondary ends, a circulating current will flow in the delta
secondary and corresponding compensating currents will then flow in the primary delta. The full load
heat-run test can be carried out by circulating the full load current in the secondary windings for enough
time, and the total iron loss is thus given by :
Wi W1 W2
The total copper loss corresponding to a certain transformer secondary current is given by:
Wcu Wsec
5.3-Procedure :
1- Connect the circuit as shown in gure(5.1). Apply the 3- phase rated voltage to the primary
winding, with no single – phase supply applied to the open-delta secondary windings.
2- Connect a voltmeter across the secondary terminals and measure the third – harmonic voltage.

6.1-Object:-
6.2-Theory:-
The rotor of a.c motor does not receive electric power by conduction but by induction in exactly the
same way as secondary of a 2-winding transformer receives its power from primary. That is why such
motors are known as induction motors. In fact an induction motor can be treated as a rotating
transformer, i.e. one in which primary winding is stationary but the secondary is free to rotate.
The equivalent circuit of an induction motor as in the case of transformer the secondary value may be
transferred to the primary and vice versa.
Fig.(6.1.a) shows the equivalent circuit of an induc on motor where all values have been referred to the
stator.
The parameters of this equivalent circuit are determined by open and short circuit tests.
Fig.(6.1.b) shows the circuit diagram for open circuit case of an induc on motor. The no load test is
carried out with different values of applied voltage, below and above the value of normal voltage. The
power input is measured by two wattmeter's ,the stator current (Io) by an ammeter and the applied
voltage(V1) by a voltmeter(V). Which are included in the circuit of g.(6.2).For the induc on motor is
running at light load, the p.f would be low i.e. less than (0.5) hence the total power input will be the
di erence of two wa meter reading (W1)and (W2) .

It is also known as locked – rotor test. Fig.(6.1.c) shows the equivalent circuit for short circuit test of an
induction motor. This test is used to find :-
3-Total leakage reactance (Xeq) of motor and total resistance of the motor (Req) .
In this test, the rotor is locked and the rotor windings are short-circuited at slip-rings , if the motor has
wound rotor just as in the case of short-circuit test on a transformer.A reduced voltage at about (15 or

20 per cent of normal value) is applied to the stator terminals and so adjusted that full load current ows
in the stator.
As in this case (S =1), this means that R2/S is equal to R 2 where R 2 is the resistance of the rotor referred
to the stator side .
Because Is.c is much greater than the exciting current Io we can neglect, the magnetizing branch and
now the equivalent circuit reduces to that shown in g.(6.1.c) It is evident that Isc = I 2 and the phase
value of this current is
Zeq = Vs.c / Is.c , Req = Ps.c /3(I s.c) , Xeq = ( Zeq2 - Req2)
The power required by the motor at short circuit(Psc) is consumed by the stator and rotor cupper
losses neglecting a small Pfe( iron losses) because of small test voltage during the short circuit test.

3I SC Re q 3I SC ( R1 R 2 ) Psc = Pcu1 + Pcu2 =
Assuming that the stator and rotor leakage fluxes are similar in a medium with constant permeability,
the reactance is almost constant, Xeq = const.
Similarly Req = const. , therefore Zeq = const. and hence the relation ship Isc = f( Vsc ) is almost a linear
one .

2- If the motor is a slip ring induction motor, open the rotor winding when at rest and supply a.c. voltage
to the stator. Measure the voltage appearing across a pair of slip rings of the rotor.
3-Close the circuit of rotor winding, then Start the motor on no load. Take the readings of all instruments
while the voltage is reduced in steps from 120% to 20% rated voltage.
4- Lock the rotor securely so that it can not rotate, then short circuit the rotor terminals. Supply the
stator with a reduced voltage. Take readings of all instruments while the voltage is reduced from that

avoid over heating because of lack of ventilation).
5- Measure the stator and rotor resistances (if it is a slip ring rotor, rotor resistance can be measured, if it
is a squirrel cage motor, it cannot be measured) by using voltmeter-ammeter and a low dc. Voltage. To

7.1-Object:
To conduct the load test and find the efficiency, slip , power factor , input current , input power
,rotor copper loss …etc as a function of output power .
7.2-Theory:
The net input power to the rotor i.e. the power transferred from stator to rotor ( P12) is stator
input P1 - stator copper losses Pcu1 - stator iron losses Pi1 . i.e. P12 = P 1- Pcu1- Pi1 .
The net output power of the motor i.e. the shaft output P2= P12 –rotor copper losses Pcu2 - rotor
iron losses Pi2 which is negligibly small at running Condition - Pmech .i.e. P2= P 22- Pcu2- Pi2-
Pmech(Pmech=mechanical losses or rotational losses) .Since the rotor current can not be measured in
squirrel cage motor, rotor copper losses can be calculated as (rotor input power * slip).
The stator iron losses at rated voltage and mechanical losses friction and windage losses can be
obtained by conducting no-load test at various input voltage Vi . and plotting the graph of input power
on no-load as a function of V i2 (refer to expt.No 9 for details).
If the torque of the motor shaft can be measured during the load test the output power can be
easily calculated as: P2 = T
2 N
where T = torque in N.m. and =
60
If there is facility to measure the torque and the motor is to be loaded by means of a DC generator
the shaft output of the motor can be approximately estimated by one of the following methods:

Unbalanced condition
8.1-THEORY:-
The unbalanced opera on of 3-phase I.M from a single phase supply is not a common operating
condition but it may be considered during an emergency when there is a loss of one phase of three
phase supply or it might be connected intentionally due to the lack of a near by three phase supply .The
unbalanced condition of operation leads to a large vibration which reduce the life of motor and produce
hum .The unbalanced operation reduces the motor torque, capability and efficiency. To prevent burning
the motor , it is not allowed to run for a pre longed period when the unbalanced in voltage is more than
5% for the same, motor is disconnected from the source whenever single phasing occurs unless the
single phasing is always accompanied by a light load.
The unbalanced system can be solved by the use of symmetrical components. Thus unbalanced
stator voltages can be analyzed into positive, naegatve and zero sequence components.
The positive sequence components are responsible for producing the forward torque component. The
negative sequence components are responsible for producing the backward torque component. The zero
sequence components if present will not affect the torque or mechanical output. For the delta
connection of stator winding, zero sequence components of current can be eliminated since there is no
return path through the neutral of a 3-phase system.
The effect of the negative sequence voltage is thus seen to be reduction of the torque and mechanical
output. Because of the backward by rotating magnetic field. Produced torque has negative sign because
the synchronous speed is (- S) and the slip is (2-s) while in the positive sequence has positive sign and
speed ( S) and the slip is (s). Torque/speed characteris cs for 3 and 1- is shown in
Fig (1) and g (2) shown T/slip characteris c of posi ve and nega ve components.

9.1-General:
Motor speed may be varied by putting variable resistance back into the rotor circuit. This reduces
rotor current and speed. The high starting torque available at zero speed, the down shifted break down
torque, is not available at high speed. See R2 curve at 90% Ns, below. Resistors R0 R1 R2 R3
Increase in value from zero. A higher resistance at R3 reduces the speed further. Speed regulation
is poor with respect to changing torque loads. This speed control technique is only useful over a range of
50% to 100% of full speed. Speed control works well with variable speed loads like elevators and printing
presses.

10.1-General:
The poly phase induction motors are constant speed motors i.e. the speed is almost constant as
the load torque increase up to rated value. The running speed of an induction motor is:-

Where:-
Since the varia on of the slip S from no load to full load is very small (about 0.05), for constant
frequency and constant number of poles, the speed of an induction motor is almost constant. The torque

Another method of speed control in the case of slip ring induction motor is by injection of voltage into
rotor circuit by an external frequency converter or by special construction as in the case of Schrage
motor ( gure 5). These methods require addi onal machine or special construc on.
Another method of controlling the speed of squirrel cage induction motor is by changing the poles,
i.e. the stator winding may be connected for different pole number and hence the synchronous speed of
the motor can be changed, (Figure 6). (This method is not possible in slip ring induc on motor. Why?
Discuss that. This method has its own limitation:-
The object of this experiment is to study the speed control of an induction motor by varying the
frequency of the applied voltage. For this purpose an alternator is connected to a variable speed drive
[45]
September 14 2014 Lab. of AC Electrical Machines Electromechanical Eng. Dept
(Schrage motor in our case) and the frequency of the alternator voltage is varied by changing the speed
of the Schrage motor speed by changing the brush position. The magnitude of the alternator voltage can
be controlled by controlling the alternator field excitation, but at constant excitation this voltage is
proportional to the frequency.

f Supply frequency
Hence if only (f) is varied keeping applied voltage constant, the air gap flux varies. If f is
decreased from rated value, increase and the machine get saturated and the magnetizing current
increase.
Hence it is customary to keep the air gap flux at its normal value. For this purpose we must keep

i.e. 1 ratio constant, so that flux approximately remains constant.

have.

Typical speed torque curves for four different frequencies are shown in gure (6), the slip at
which maximum torque occurs becomes larger as the operating frequency decreases and the maximum
torque gets reduced slightly. The starting torque increases for small reductions in frequency but attains a
maximum and then decreases with the further reduction in frequency.
The reduction in developed torque at low frequencies is partly due to the apparent increase in
resistances of the machine and also due to the air gap flux remains constant while V/f constant, which
the above torque equa on (equa on 2) neglects. This reduc on in air gap ux which results from the
voltage drop in the stator impedance will obviously spend on the input current and hence on the load of
the motor.
10.3-Experimental program:
1. Connect the machine as shown in figure -1
2. Start the Schrage motor, adjust its speed for rated frequency and adjust the D.C.
excitation for the alternator for rated voltage motor through the auto transformer.
3. Gradually load the induction motor by the D.C. generator which coupled with its shaft.
Keep the speed of the Schrage motor constant. Adjust the excitation of the alternator to
compensate for the voltage drop of the alternator. Take all reading for various loads
4. Adjust the frequency of alternator to f=1.1 fr, the voltage change proportionately repeat

11.1-Theory:
A 3-phase synchronous motor is not self starting i.e. it does not start when the rotor is excited by dc
and stator is applied with 3-phase voltage in order to start a synchronous motor the following methods
are usually used
The last method is used in this lab. As all the synchronous motors used are of salient pole construction
and have been provided with damper Windings for starting purpose.
11.2-General:
The variation of the excitation for a constant load and constant applied voltage, cause the armature
current to change and the graph of I a Ie i.e. I a =f ( I e ) will be in the form of V g. (1) thus the
armature current I a required by the synchronous motor can be brought into phase or to lagging
or leading with respect to the terminal voltage by suitable adjustment of the excitation current. It
leads the terminal voltage at over excita on and lags at under excita on g. (2) This behavior is very
important, since it enables the motor to be used for power factor correction.
[56]
September 14 2014 Lab. of AC Electrical Machines Electromechanical Eng. Dept
11.3-Experimental Investigation:
To obtain the V-curve it is recommended to start with maximum excitation current I e , and then
smoothly reduce it. The variation of the excitation current is limited by the value of armature current Ia
which should not exceed 1.2 mes Irated i.e. 1.2Ir. It is easier to evaluate the motor load by the required
power input from the supply. It must be noted that the required power input to the motor is not strictly
constant; it is different values of the armature current due to the variation of motor losses.
11.3.1.1- Procedure:
excitation such that I a =1.2Ir . Reduce the excitation current and observe the armature current
and input power according to table 1
3. Repeat 2 above for P=0.25Pr, and P=0.5Pr the synchronous motor is loaded by the dc machined
coupled to it. The dc machine is operated as a generator and loaded by a load rheostat.
The aim of this experiment is to show the armature current (its reactive component), the excitation
current and the power factor as a function of the input power at constant armature current applied
voltage.

11.3.2.1-Procedure:
1- By changing the dc generator load and excitation current obtain Ia Ir And unity power
factor.
2- Reduce the motor load smoothly till the no load condition while keeping the armature current
constant ( Ia I r ) by increasing the excita on current, Record all reading to table 2 where
I ar I a sin .
1- From part A plot cos = f (I e ) , I a =f ( I e ) , for P=0, P=0.25Pr, and P=0.5Pr on the same

12.1-Theory :
The main operating characteristics of an alternator are the A) External B) Regulating characteristics .
At constant speed and constant field current and constant power factor.
At no- load the terminal voltage is equal to the no- load induced voltage E. When the load is increasing
the armature- reaction effect is also increasing –cross magnetizing for pure resistance, demagnetizing
for pure inductive load and magnetizing for pure capacitive load for intermediate power factors the
terminal voltage decrease for resistance – inductive load (V < E) and will increase for resistance –
capacitive loading i.e
% Reg = E – Vr / Vr
Where
And it is positive value for lagging power factors and negative value for leading power factors.
