Objective: This Lab explores all the possible design connections of a DC machine and it also
experimentally obtains the characteristics and thus observes the performance of different DC motors and
generators and performs tests on DC machines to derive their efficiency.
Outcomes: At the completion of this lab, the student will be able to:
1. Obtain the operating characteristics of dc machines.
2. Examine the relationship between torque, speed, voltage and current for various types of motor
connections in no-load and loaded configurations.
3. Predict, by calculation, the performance of dc machines.
4. Analyze and select appropriate dc machines for given applications.
List of Experiments:
Any 10 of the following experiments are to be conducted:
1. Magnetization characteristics of DC shunt generator. Determination of critical field resistance and
critical speed.
2. Load test on DC shunt generator. Determination of characteristics.
3. Brake test on DC shunt motor. Determination of performance curves.
4. Load test on DC compound generator. Determination of characteristics.
5. Hopkinsons test on DC shunt machines. Predetermination of efficiency.
6. Fields test on DC series machines. Determination of efficiency.
