LABORATORY PRACTICE
SAFETY RULES
SAFETY is of paramount importance in the Electrical Engineering Laboratories.
2.Electricity NEVER EXECUSES careless persons. So, exercise enough care and attention
in handling electrical equipment and follow safety practices in the laboratory. (Electricity
is a good servant but a bad master).
3.Avoid direct contact with any voltage source and power line voltages. (Otherwise, any such
contact may subject you to electrical shock)
4.Wear rubber-soled shoes. (To insulate you from earth so that even if you accidentally
contact a live point, current will not flow through your body to earth and hence you will be
protected from electrical shock)
5.Wear laboratory-coat and avoid loose clothing. (Loose clothing may get caught on an
equipment/instrument and this may lead to an accident particularly if the equipment
happens to be a rotating machine)
6.Girl students should have their hair tucked under their coat or have it in a knot.
7.Do not wear any metallic rings, bangles, bracelets, wristwatches and neck chains. (When
you move your hand/body, such conducting items may create a short circuit or may touch a
live point and thereby subject you to electrical shock)
8.Be certain that your hands are dry and that you are not standing on wet floor. (Wet parts of
the body reduce the contact resistance thereby increasing the severity of the shock)
9.Ensure that the power is OFF before you start connecting up the circuit.(Otherwise you will
be touching the live parts in the circuit)
10.Get your circuit diagram approved by the staff member and connect up the circuit strictly
as per the approved circuit diagram.
11.Check power chords for any sign of damage and be certain that the chords use safety
plugs and do not defeat the safety feature of these plugs by using ungrounded plugs.
12.When using connection leads, check for any insulation damage in the leads and avoid
such defective leads.
13.Do not defeat any safety devices such as fuse or circuit breaker by shorting across it.
Safety devices protect YOU and your equipment.
14.Switch on the power to your circuit and equipment only after getting them checked up
and approved by the staff member.
15.Take the measurement with one hand in your pocket. (To avoid shock in case you
accidentally touch two points at different potentials with your two hands)
16.Do not make any change in the connection without the approval of the staff member.
17.In case you notice any abnormal condition in your circuit ( like insulation heating up,
resistor heating up etc ), switch off the power to your circuit immediately and inform the
staff member.
18.Keep hot soldering iron in the holder when not in use.
19.After completing the experiment show your readings to the staff member and switch off
the power to your circuit after getting approval from the staff member.
After completing the load-test, suck out the water in the brake-drum using the plastic
bottle with nozzle and then dry off the drum with a sponge which is available in the
laboratory.(The water, if allowed to remain in the brake-drum, will corrode it)
ammeters and watt-meters in case of over load, an under-rated fuse may not allow one
even to start the experiment)
20. Some students have been found to damage meters by mishandling in the following ways:
Keeping unnecessary material like books, lab records, unused meters etc. causing meters
to fall down the table.
Putting pressure on the meter (specially glass) while making connections or while talking
or listening somebody.
STUDENTS ARE STRICTLY WARNED THAT FULL COST OF THE METER WILL BE
RECOVERED FROM THE INDIVIDUAL WHO HAS DAMAGED IT IN SUCH A MANNER.
Copy these rules in your Lab Record. Observe these yourself and help your friends to observe
I have read and understand these rules and procedures. I agree to abide by these rules and
procedures at all times while using these facilities. I understand that failure to follow these rules and
procedures will result in my immediate dismissal from the laboratory and additional disciplinary
action may be taken.

APPARATUS DESCRIPTION :
1.
Synchro Transmitter
a. The structure of most of the synchro Transmitter is similar to that of a
conventional three phase F.H.P.Motor. The stator of a synchro is a cylindrically
slotted and laminated magnetic structure, usually bearing a three phase Y
connected windings which is the secondary of the synchro (Except the differential
& control transformer) in most of the cases the stator laminations are skewed one
slot pitch to eliminate slot lack and the resulting angular errors. The stator
windings is not a three phase winding in usually meaning of the term since all
induced voltages are in time phase.

THEORY
The rotor of a Synchro Transmitter is a salient pole dumbbel shaped magnetic structure housing the
primary winding of the transmitter. Voltage is applied to this winding through the sliprings and
brushes. The stator has the secondary coils wound in its skewed slots distributed around its
periphery. Although the stator windings are distributed, they act as if they were positioned at 1200
apart.
Let an Ac voltage Vr(t) = Vr Sinwct be applied to the rotor of the Synchro transmitter. This
voltage causes a flow of magnetizing current in the rotor coil which produces a sinusoidally time
varying flux directed along its axis and distributed nearly sinusoidally in the air gap along the stator
periphery. Because of transformer action, voltages are induced in each of the stator coils. As the air
gap flux is sinusoidally distributed, the flux linking any stator coil is proportional to the cosine of
the angle between the rotor and stator coil axes and so is the voltage induced in each stator coil.
Let Vs1n Vs2n and Vs3n respectively be the voltages induced in the stator coils S1, S2, S3 with
respect to the neutral. Then, for the rotor position of the synchro transmitter. Where the rotor axis
makes an angle with the axis of the stator coils S2.

EXPERIMENT NO.5
CHARACTERISTICS OF MAGNETIC AMPLIFIER.
THEORY
Magnetic Amplifier consists of saturable reactor and silicon diode.
Saturable Reactor
The basic unit of magnetic amplifier in the saturable reactor. The saturable reactor has a load
winding which is excited with an AC voltage. The excited level in adjusted such that the variations
in flux in the core taken its boundaries between the knee of the BH Curve.
The second winding is the control winding to which dc is supplied causing the core to
saturate during the part of the half cycle due to additional magnetizations.
When no dc is applied to the second winding. The core flux variation are within saturable
limit and hence the current drawn from AC supply by the load winding only be magnetizing current,
since DC voltage is applied at a particular instance in the half cycle.
Under these conditions the importance of the AC winding reduces almost zero. Hence, when a load
is connected in series with load winding, the entire supply.
Feed Back Winding
Introduced to provide negative to positive feedback when the feedback winding is connected in to
the load circuit such that flux produced by the load current passing through feedback winding assists
the flux of the control winding due to DC through it so that the total flux be comes larger than the
increasing the load current this action is called as positive feedback. The effect of positive feedback
is to increase the value of load current at a particular value control current from the without
feedback. Also due to positive feedback the characteristics curve becomes stepper, thus providing
increasing gain but less linearity decrease stability and slower response.
22
In the feedback winding connections are released then the flux due to this winding opposes the flux
of control winding. Thus the control current increases there by increasing the load current. The
feedback flux presents same of this action is called as negative feedback.
PROCEDURE:
1) Connections are made as per the circuit diagram.
2) Load winding LW1 and LW2 are connected in series.
3) Supply voltage is given to the control winding.
4) By varying the control winding voltage, note down the ammeter readings of Ic & Ie.
5) Plot the graph between Ie & Ic for different readings.

EFFECT OF P, PI, PID CONTROLLER ON
A SECOND ORDER SYSTEM
AIM :To study the steady state performance of an Analog P, PI & PID controller using simulated system.
APPARATUS :PID Controller
Patch Chords
BLOCK DIAGRAM :-
THEORY :A controller is a device introduced in the system to modify the error signal and to produce a control
signal. The controller modifies the transient response of the system.
Proportional Controller (P-Controller): The P-Controller is a device that produce a control signal u(t) which is a proportional to the input
error signal e(t).
U(t)
e(t)
U(t) = Kp e(t)
--- 1
--- 2
Eq. 1 & 2 gives the output of the P-Controller for input E(s) and transfer function of the PController respectively.
From Eq. 1, we can conclude that the P-Controller amplifies the error signal by an amount of Kp.
Also the Introduction of the controller on the system increases the loop gain by an amount of Kp.
Increase in loop gain improves the steady state tracking accuracy and relative stability and also
make the system less sensitive to parameter variations. The draw back in P-Controller is that it
leads to a constant steady state error.
Proportional plus Integral Controller (PI-Controller): -
31
The PI-Controller is a device that produces a output signal consisting of two terms one is
proportional to error signal and the other is proportional to the integral of error signal.
U(t)
[e(t) + e(t) dt]
U(t) = Kp e(t) + (Kp/Ti) e(t) dt
--- 1
--- 2

Eq. 2 gives the output of the PI-Controller for input E(s) and eq. 3 is the transfer function of the PIController respectively.
The advantages of both P-Controller and I-Controller are combined in PI-Controller. The
Proportional action increases the loop gain and makes the system less sensitive to variations of
system parameters. The integral action eliminates or reduces the steady state error. The integral
control action is adjusted by varying the integral time.
Proportional plus Integral plus Derivative Controller (PID-Controller): The PID-Controller is a device that produces a output signal consisting of three terms one is
proportional to error signal and the second is proportional to the integral of error signal and third is
proportional to the derivative of the error signal.

CHARACTERISTICS OF AC SERVOMOTOR
AIM :To study the Speed-Torque and Speed-Back emf characteristics of AC Servomotor.
APPARATUS :AC Servo Motor Kit

BLOCK DIAGRAM :-
THEORY :1.
AC Servomotor :The motors that are used in automatic control systems are called Servomotors. When the
objective of the system is to control the position of an object then the system is called Servo
Mechanism. The servomotors are used to convert an electrical signal (control Voltage) applied
to them into an angular displacement of the shaft. Then can either operate in a continuous duty
or step duty depending on construction.
34
There are different varieties of servomotors available for control system applications. The
suitability of a motor for a particular application depends on the characteristic of the system, the
purpose of the system and its operating conditions. In general, a servomotor should have the
following features.
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Depending on the supply required to run the motor, they are broadly classified as DC
Servomotor and AC Servomotor.
An AC Servomotor is basically a 2-Ph induction motor except for certain special design
features. A 2-Ph servomotor differs in the following 2 ways from a normal induction motor
i. The rotor of the servomotor is built with high resistance, so that its X/R ratio is small
which results in linear speed-torque characteristics. But conventional induction motors
will have high value of X/R ratio which results in high efficiency and non-linear speedtorque characteristics.
ii. The excitation voltage applied to two stator windings should have a phase difference of
90.
2. Construction of AC Servomotor :The AC Servomotor is basically a 2-Ph induction motor with some special design features. The
stator consists of two pole pairs mounted on the inner periphery of the stator, such that their axes
are at an angle of 90 in the space. Each pole pair carries a winding. One winding is called
reference winding and the other is called control winding. The exciting current in the winding
should have a phase displacement of 90. The supply used to drive the motor is single phase and
so a phase advancing capacitor is connected tone of the phase to produce a phase difference of
90. The rotor construction is usually squirrel cage or drag cup type. The squirrel cage rotor is
made of laminations. The rotor bars are placed on the slots and short circuited at both ends by
end rings. The diameter of the rotor is kept small in order to reduce inertia and to obtain good
accelerating characteristics.
The drag cup construction is employed for very low inertia applications. In this type of
construction the rotor will be in the form of hallow cylinder made of aluminium. The
aluminium cylinder itself acts as short circuited rotor conductors.
The speed-Torque curves of AC Servomotor are non-linear except in the low speed region. In
order to drive a transfer function for the motor, some linearizing approximations are necessary.
A servomotor operates at high speeds, therefore the linear portions of speed-torque curves can
be extended out of the high speed region by use of dashed lines. But even with this
approximation, the resultant curves are still not parallel to each other. This means that for
constant speeds, except near Zero speed, the torque does not vary linearly with respect to input
voltage.
3. Transfer Function of AC Servomotor :Let
= K1 / (Js2 +Bs+K2s)
= [K1 / (B+K2)] / [s (J/(B+K2))s +1]
= Km / (Tms + 1)
Before switching ON the instrument, keep load control potentiometer P1 and speed control
potentiometer P2 are in fully anti-clockwise (i.e. minimum ) position.
Now switch ON the instrument and also switch ON the servomotor. You can observe that
AC Servomotor will start rotating and the speed will be indicated by the rpm meter on front
panel.
With load switch OFF position, vary the speed of the AC servomotor by rotating speed
control potentiometer P2 in clockwise direction and note down the back emf (Eb) generated
by the DC machine at Tp terminals at different speed. Use digital millimeter to measure
back emf voltage. Tabulate these readings.
2. Speed, Torque Characteristics :1. Initially keep load switch and servomotor switch in OFF position.
2. Before switching ON the instrument, keep load control potentiometer P1 and speed control
potentiometer P2 are in fully anti-clockwise (i.e. minimum ) position.
3. Now switch ON the instrument and also switch ON the servomotor. You can observe that
AC Servomotor will start rotating and the speed will be indicated by the rpm meter on front
panel.
4. By rotating P2, set control winding voltage (Vc) at 45V. Use digital millimeter to measure
control winding voltage. Note down the speed of Ac servomotor in table. Now keep P1 at
minimum position and switch ON the load switch to apply the load. Note down the back
emf voltage (Eb) from Tp Terminals. Note down the Eb and Ia values.
5. Repeat above step for different values (at least 3) of load control potentiometer. Note down
the corresponding value of Ia, Eb and speed.

1.CHARACTERISTICS OF DC SERVO MOTOR
AIM :-
THEORY :The types of DC Servo Motors are (i) Series Motor (ii) Shunt Motor (iii) Permanent Magnet Motor.
A DC Servo Motor can be controlled by varying either the field current or the armature current. DC
Servo Motors offers higher efficiency than that of AC Servo Motors of same size, but radio
interference is a problem in some applications.
Most of the DC Servo Motors used in low power applications are of the PM type. The ease of
controllable speed along with the linear torque-speed characteristics makes the DC Servo Motor
ideal for servo mechanism applications. The torque-speed curve is quite similar to that of the AC
Servo Motor. These motors are available in 6, 12 and 24 V models making them applicable to
solid-state circuitry. By comparison, the DC Servo Motor has some advantages over AC Servo
Motor. The DC Servo Motor inertia is greater than that of the AC Servo motor. This greater inertia
is due to the wound armature and commutator, which produces a heavier rotor. The DC Servo
Motor does not require any standby power whereas the AC Servo Motor continuously draws power
for its main (reference) winding.
Such DC Servo Motors are popular in compact systems such as pneumatic control and robotics
systems and in automatic control machines. DC Servo Motors in some modern servomechanism
may be one of the brush less types, which lend themselves to easy computer control Alone the same
lines, the stepping motor has become a valuable type to be used as a servo motor.
44
PROCEDURE :-
Before switch ON the instrument, please see that armature control potentiometer and field
control potentiometer are at minimum position so that the armature voltage applied to the
armature from zero volts onwards and field voltage applied to the field from 25V onwards.
Switch ON the instrument, observe that the field on indication LED glows, if not then
immediately switch OFF the instrument. Please note that for all DC motors field voltage to
be given initially before applying the armature voltage. Initially DC ammeter and RPM
meter indicates ZERO reading.
Adjust spring balance so that there is minimum load on the DC Servo Motor. Note that you
have to adjust the knob in the anti-clock wise direction to apply the load and clock wise
direction to release the load. You may fix knob at any particular place to apply a fixed load
on the DC Servo Motor.
Connect digital multi meters across the armature winding terminals and field winding
terminals to measure corresponding voltages.
Adjust armature control potentiometer so that Va = 10V and field control potentiometer so
that Vf = 20V.
Keeping Va = 10V, Vf = 20V, adjust T1 up to 500 gm in suitable steps and note down the
readings as in step 6.
