Procedure: 1. Make the connections as per the circuit diagram. 2. Keep the DPDT switch first on 1-1 position to give supply to the machine to run as a motor 3. Keep the motor armature rheostat in its maximum resistance position & its field rheostat in minimum resistance position. The generator field is in maximum position. 4. After closing the DPST switch motor side, its armature rheostat is cut off and its field rheostat is adjusted to obtain close to synchronous speed. 5. The TPST on the line side of the alternator is closed and the line voltage is measured. . The voltage across the alternator terminals is raised to the line level by varying the generator field rheostat.. After checking for the connection of phase voltage sequence the frequency of the alternator is synchronized following the synchronizing procedure.
Circuit Diagram

Synchronising Procedure: If the phase sequence is wrong, the bulbs glow asymmetrically one after the other. If the frequency is more, the bulbs glow and become dark in quick interval. This is adjusted by varying the speed of the prime mover so that the periods of darkness and lightness are long and equal. At the middle of the dark period, the synchronizing switch is closed. 6. Then the alternator is in floating condition. Both DPDT, DPST switch are in open position. 7. Now the Alternator will run as Synchronous motor on no load. 8. Field current is reduced to minimum value from the settings. 9. Field current is increased in steps and the corresponding values of load current and wattmeter readings are noted.
31 10. DPDT switch is thrown to 2-2 position. 11. The synchronizing motor is loaded by loading the motor with shunt load. 12. Power factor is calculated 13. Plot If Vs COS for no load and loaded conditions. Observations No Load S.No If (amps) Ia (amps) W1 (watts) W2(watts) Power Factor
