SAFETY RULES

1.SAFETY is of paramount importance in the Electrical Engineering


Laboratories.
2. Electricity NEVER EXECUSES careless persons. So, exercise enough care and attention in handling

electricalequipment and followsafety 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 electricalshock)
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

electricalshock)
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 toelectricalshock)
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 safetyplugs and do
not defeat the safety feature of these plugs by using ungrounded plugs.
6
Department of EEE

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING LAB MANUAL

12. When using connection leads, check for any insulation damage in the leads and avoid such
defective leads.
13. Do not defeat anysafety 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.

20.Some students have been found to damage meters by mishandling in the following ways:
i.
ii.

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.

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING LAB MANUAL

GUIDELINES FOR LABORATORY NOTEBOOK

The laboratory notebook is a record of all work pertaining to the experiment. This record should be
sufficiently complete so that you or anyone else of similar technical background can duplicate the
experiment and data by simply following your laboratory notebook. Record everything directly into the
notebook during the experiment. Do not use scratch paper for recording data. Do not trust your
memory to fill in the details at a later time.
Organization in your notebook is important. Descriptive headings should be used to separate and identify
the various parts of the experiment. Record the data in chronological order. A neat, organized and
complete record of an experiment is just as important as the experimental work.
1. Heading:
The experiment identification (number) should be at the top of each page. Your name and date
should be at the top of the first page of each day's experimental work.
2.Object:
A brief but complete statement of what you intend to find out or verify in the experiment
should be at the beginning of each experiment
3. Diagram:
A circuit diagram should be drawn and labeled so that the actual experiment circuitry could be
easily duplicated at any time in the future. Be especially careful to record all circuit changes made
during the experiment.
4. Equipment List:
List those items of equipment which have a direct effect on the accuracy of the data. It may be
necessary later to locate specific items of equipment for rechecks if discrepancies develop in the results.
5. Procedure:
In general, lengthy explanations of procedures are unnecessary. Be brief. Short commentaries
alongside the corresponding data may be used. Keep in mind the fact that the experiment must be
reproducible from the information given in your notebook.

6. Data:
8
Department of EEE

CJITS

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING LAB MANUAL

Think carefully about what data is required and prepare suitable data tables.Record
instrument readings directly. Do not use calculated results in place of direct data; however,
calculated results may be recorded in the same table with the direct data. Data tables should be clearly
identified and each data column labeled and headed by the proper units of measure.
7. Calculations:
Not always necessary but equations and sample calculations are often given to illustrate the
treatment of the experimental data in obtaining the results.
8. Graphs:
Graphs are used to present large amounts of data in a concise visual form. Data to be
presented in graphical form should be plotted in the laboratory so that any questionable data points
can be checked while the experiment is still set up. The grid lines in the notebook can be used for most
graphs. If special graph paper is required, affix the graph permanently into the notebook. Give all
graphs a short descriptive title. Label and scale the axes. Use units of measure. Label each curve
if more than one on a graph.
9. Results:
The results should be presented in a form which makes the interpretation easy. Large amounts
of numerical results are generally presented in graphical form. Tables are generally used for small
amounts of results. Theoretical and experimental results should be on the same graph or arrange in the
same table in a way for easy correlation of these results.

10. Conclusion:
This is your interpretation of the results of the experiment as an engineer. Be brief and
specific. Give reasons for important discrepancies.

KCL-Total resistance of the circuit R=R1+R2+R3 --


Total currentof the circuit I= VsR -- Amp
The resistance are connected in series so the total current I will flow in every resistance.
So, Voltage drop in resistance R1= I R1-------Volts.
Voltage drop in resistance R2 = I R2-------Volts.
Voltage drop in resistance R3 = I R3-------Volts.
Now Supply voltage Vs = (I R1)+(I R2)+(I R3).
KVL- R2 and R3resistances are in parallel so effective resistanceRe= R2 R3 R3 +R2-- .
Now R1 and Reare inseries, so total resistance R = R1+Re ---------.
Total current of the circuit I = VsR -- Amp.
Current through R2 resistanceI1 = Total current (I) Opposite resistance (R3)
Total resistance (R2) + (R3) ------ Amps.
Current through R3 resistanceI2 = Total current (I)- (I1) ---------- Amps.
Now Total current (I) =

THEORY:

In a series RLC circuit. The current lags behind or leads the applied voltage depending upon the
values of XL and Xc. XL causes the total current to lag behind the applied voltage while Xc
causes the total current to lead the applied voltage.When XL >Xc the circuit is predominantly
inductive, and when XL <Xc the circuit is predominantly capacitive. In the series RLC circuit
resonance may be produced by varying the frequency keeping L and C constant. Otherwise
resonance may be produced by varying either L or C for fixed frequency .Parallel resonance
occurs when XL = Xc. when XL = Xc the two branch currents are equal in magnitude and 180
deg out of phase with each other .Hence two currents cancel each other and net current is zero.

THEORY:

SUPERPOSITION THEOREM STATEMENT


In any linear bilateral network containing two or more energy sources the response at any
element is equivalent to the algebraic sum of the responses caused by the individual sources.

i.e. While considering the effect of individual sources, the other ideal voltage
sources and ideal current sources in the network are replaced by short circuit and open
circuit across the terminals. This theorem is valid only for linear systems.
RECIPROCITY THEOREM STATEMENT
In any linear bilateral network containing the response at any branch (or) transformation ratio is
same even after interchanging the sources is V/ I1 = V/ I2

THEORY:
STATEMENT OF THEVENINS THEOREM:
Any two terminal linear bilateral network containing of energy sources and impedances can be
replaced with an equivalent circuit consisting of voltage source Vthin series with an impedance, Zth.,
where Vthis the open circuit voltage between the load terminals and Zthis the impedance measured
between the terminals with all the energy sources replaced by their internal impedances.
STATEMENT OF NORTONS THEOREM:
Any two terminal linear bilateral network containing of energy sources and impedances can be
replaced with an equivalent circuit consisting of current source IN in parallel with an admittance, YN.,
where IN is the short circuit current through the load terminals and YNis the admittance measured
between the terminals with all the energy sources replaced by their internal admittance.
CALCULATIONS:(i)

For Rth-As for the circuit diagram, fig-2, Resisters R1 and R2are in parallel so effective

Resistance

Rp = R1 R2 R1 + R2 .

Then Rp is in series with R3, so Rth= Rp R3 .

(ii) For Vth - As for the circuit diagram, fig-3, Resisters R1 and R2 are in series so total
Resistance

R = R1 + R2 .(R3 Will not play any roll because of open circuit.)

Total current of the circuit I = Vs R Amp.


The current I will flow through R1 and R2 because of series connection.
Then open circuit voltage Vth = I R2 Volts.
(iii) For IL-

As for the circuit diagram, fig-1, Resisters R3 and RLare in series so effective

Resistance

Rse = R3 +RL .

Then Rseisin parallel with R2 so effective


Resistance

Rp = Rse R2 Rse + R2 .

Then Rp is in series to R1 resistance so total Resistance R = Rp+ R1 .


Total current of the circuit I = Vs R Amp .
Total current of the circuit Iis divided in to two paths after R1 resistance
So the current throughRL resistance branch

Theory:
Open circuit characteristics or magnetization curve is the graph between the generated emf
and field current of a dc shunt generator. For field current is equal to zero there will be residual
voltage of 10 to 12V because of the residual magnetism present in the machine .If this is absent
there the machine can not build up voltage to obtain residual magnetism the machine is separately
excited by a dc source from OCC we can get critical field resistance and critical speed.

Critical field resistance: It is the resistance above which the machine cannot build up emf.

Critical speed: It is the speed below which the machine cannot build up emf.

Procedure:

Connections are made as per the circuit diagram.

Theory:
It is simple indirect method in which losses are measured separately and the efficiency at
any desired load can be predetermined. This test applicable to those machines in which flux is practically
constant i.e. shunt and compound wound machines. The no load power input to armature consist iron
losses in core, friction loss, windage loss and armature copper loss. It is convenient and economical
because power required to test a large machine is small i.e. only no load power. But no account is taken
the change in iron losses from no load to full load due to armature reaction flux is distorted which
increases the iron losses in some cases by as 50%

Theory:
When if is required to determine directly efficiency if comparatively small motors, the motor is
loaded directly by means of Mechanical Break. Hence in the case of shunt motor there is no drastic
change in speed. The Torque T = (S1 ~S2) g. r Nm. where S1S2 is the spring balance reading, r = Break
drum Radius
and g=9.81.
P = Power developed. Hence directly the efficiency = Po/ Pi x 100

OC Test
The main aim of this test is to determine the Iron losses & No- load current of the T/F which are helpful
in finding Ro & Xo.In this test generally supply will be given to primary and secondary kept open. Since
secondary is opened a small current (magnetizing current will flow and it will be 5 to 10% of full load
current. The wattmeter connected in primary will give directly the Iron losses (core losses).
SC Test
The main aim of this test is to determine the full load copper losses which are helpful in finding the R01,
X01, Z01, efficiency and regulation of the T/F. Generally low voltage side will be short circuited and supply
will be given to high voltage side & it will be of 5-10% of the rated voltage. The wattmeter connected in
primary will give directly the full load copper losses of the T/F.

Theory: As a general rule, conversion of electrical energy to mechanical energy takes place in to the
rotating part on electrical motor. In DC motors, electrical power is conduct directly to the armature, i.e,
rotating part through brushes and commutator. Hence, in this sense, a DC motor can be called as
65
Department of EEE

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING LAB MANUAL

'conduction motor'. However, in AC motors, rotor does not receive power by conduction but by
induction in exactly the same way as secondary of a two winding T/F receives
its power from the primary. So, these motors are
known as Induction motors. In fact an induction motor can be taken as rotating
T/F, i.e, one in which primary winding is stationary and but the secondary is free.
The starting torque of the Induction motor can be increase by improving its p.f
by adding external resistance in the rotor circuit from the stator connected rheostat, the rheostat
resistance being progressively cut out as the motor gathers speed. Addition of external resistance
increases the rotor impedance and so reduces the rotor current. At first, the effect of improved p.f
predominates the current- decreasing effect of impedance. So, starting torque is increased. At time of
starting, external resistance is kept at maximum resistance position and after a certain time, the effect of
increased impedance predominates the effect of improved p.f and so the torque starts decreasing. By
this during running period the rotor resistance being progressively cut-out as the motor attains its
speed. In this way, it is possible to get good starting torque as well as good running torque.

Procedure:

1) Give all the connections as per the circuit diagram.


2) Switch ON the 3 supply and press the ON button of the Star /Delta starter.

4) When the Star /Delta starter converts to Delta position Note the no-load readings of
ammeter, voltmeter, wattmeter, speed & loads.
5) Gradually increase the load on the motor by tightening the
hand-swivels and note the corresponding meters readings.
6) Remove the load completely & Switch-Off the power.

Graph: A graph is drawn b/w O/P power in watts (on X-axis) verses speed, torque, current, slip,
efficiency &p.f (on Y-axis).
Precautions:

1) There should not be any load on the motor initially.


2) The brake drum should be filled with water to cool it.
3) If the wattmeter shows negative deflection, reverse either
pressure coil or current coil and take that reading as
