Circuit Diagram:
Precautions:
1. Field rheostat must be kept in minimum resistance position.

2. Armature rheostat must be kept in maximum resistance position.
3. Initially Rectifier should be in zero voltage position.
Procedure:
O.C Test:

2. With the Rectifier in the zero voltage position, TPST Switch open and the rheostats in
their proper positions, the D.C Supply to the motor is switched ON.
3. The D.C Motor is brought to its rated speed and thus the alternator by properly varying
the armature and/or field rheostat of the motor.
4. Now, the alternator field is excited by applying the D.C voltage through the Rectifier in
steps. At each step the field current and the corresponding generated voltage are noted.

This procedure is repeated till the voltage generated is much beyond rated voltage of the
alternator.
5. Reduce the alternator field excitation to zero level.
S.C Test:
1. With the rectifier in the minimum voltage position, the TPST Switch is closed.
2. Increase field excitation gradually till the Short Circuit Current of the alternator reaches
the rated current of the alternator.
3. Note down the field current required to circulate the rated short circuit current. Tabulate
the readings taken during the O.C Test and S.C Tests.
