LABORATORY PRACTICE - SAFETY RULES
1. SAFETY is of extreme importance in the Electrical Engineering Laboratories.
2. Electricity NEVER EXECUSES careless persons. So, practice with 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.
2
18. 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.
19. While performing load-tests in the Electrical Machines Laboratory using the brake-
drums:
a. Avoid the brake-drum from getting too hot by putting just enough water into
the brake-drum at intervals; use the plastic bottle with a nozzle (available in
the laboratory ) to pour the water.(When the drum gets too hot, it will burn
out the braking belts)
b. Do not stand in front of the brake-drum when the supply to the load-test
circuit is switched off. (Otherwise, the hot water in the brake-drum will
splash out on you)
c. 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)
20. Determine the correct rating of the fuse/s to be connected in the circuit after
understanding correctly the type of the experiment to be performed: no-load test
or full-load test, the maximum current expected in the circuit and accordingly use
that fuse-rating.(While an over-rated fuse will damage the equipment and other
instruments like ammeters and watt-meters in case of over load, an under-rated
fuse may not allow one even to start the experiment)
21. At the time of starting a motor, the ammeter connected in the armature circuit
overshoots, as the starting current is around 5 times the full load rating of the
motor. Moving coil ammeters being very delicate may get damaged due to high
starting current. A switch has been provided on such meters to disconnect the
moving coil of the meter during starting. This switch should be closed after the
motor attains full speed. Moving iron ammeters and current coils of wattmeters
are not so delicate and hence these can stand short time overload due to high
starting current. No such switch is therefore provided on these meters. Moving
iron meters are cheaper and more rugged compared to moving coil meters.
Moving iron meters can be used for both AC and DC measurement. Moving coil
instruments are however more sensitive and more accurate as compared to their
moving iron counterparts and these can be used for DC measurements only.
Good features of moving coil instruments are not of much consequence for you as
other sources of errors in the experiments are many times more than those
caused by these meters.
22. Some students have been found to damage meters by mishandling in the
following ways:
a. Keeping unnecessary material like books, Lab records, unused meters etc.
causing meters to fall down the table.
b. Putting pressure on the meter (especially 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.

Observe these safety rules 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.

1. Candidates should come to the lab with proper uniform and good quality leather shoes.
Avoid wearing golden rings, bracelets and bangles.
4. Complete the observation after completion of the experiment in the lab itself.
7. Handle the meters carefully, for which you are duly responsible.
10. Return all the apparatus and make sure that nothing is left on the Worktable.

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 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 data in
chronological order.
Heading:
The experiment identification (number) should be at the top of each page.
Objective:
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.
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.
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.
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.
Data:
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.
Calculations:
Not always necessary but equations and sample calculations are often given to
illustrate the treatment of the experimental data in obtaining the results.
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.
Results:
The results should be presented in a form which makes the interpretation easy.
Tables are generally used for small amounts of results.

STUDY OF DC MOTOR AND INDUCTION MOTOR (AC) STARTERS
Date :
THEORY:
Induction motors take about 1.5 to 2 times its rated full load current at the time of starting. This
heavy current although may not be dangerous for the motor. Therefore if normal supply is applied to
the stationary motor, as in the case of a transformer, very large initial current is taken up by the
primary, at least for a short while. At the starting time there is no back emf to oppose the initial rush
current.
The excessive current is objectionable. Because it will produce large line voltage drop that will
affect the operation of the electrical equipment connected in the same line. Hence it is not advisable to
start motors of rating about 25 KW to 40 KW.
In the circuit additionally thermal overload relays have been used to protect the motor winding
against over heating. When the ON button is pressed, the conductor coil becomes energized and its
gets closed. The motor gets connected to the supply mains. The motor continuously get the supply
through the contacts even when push button is released. The when the OFF button is pressed, the coil
is de energized, the motor is disconnect from the supply. In case of an over load, the relay opens
simultaneously the motor will stop.
This types of starter is used in Squirrel cage Induction motor. The stator phase windings are
first connected in star and full voltage is applied across the terminals. As the motor picks up speed, the
windings are connected with Delta position by using change over switch. In star compared with
Delta.Thereby connecting the motor windings first in star then in Delta.
This type of starter is used in slip ring Induction motor. In this type, for reducing the starting
current during starting period, some extra resistance is included in rotor circuit. Then the external
resistance provided in rotor circuit is increases gradually. The starting torque also increases
proportionally. When the motor attains the full speed the external resistance in Rotor circuit is fully
cutout and the slip ring terminals are short circuited.

AUTO TRANSFORMER STARTER:
This starter consists of an auto transformer and a switch. When the switch is put on START
position, a reduced voltage is applied across the motor terminals. When the motor picks up the sapeed,
say to 80% of its normal speed, the switch is put on RUN position. Then the auto transformer starter is
cut of the current and full rated voltage gets applied across the motor terminals. The manual auto
transformer starter can be made push button automatic controlled starter so that the control switches
over from start to run position as the motor picks up 80%of its speed.
The three terminals of the starting box are marked A,B and C. Only line is directly connected
to one armature terminal and one field terminal which are tied together. the other line is connected to
point A which is further connected to the starting arm L, through the over current release M. To start
the motor, the main switch is first closed and then the starting arm is slowly moved to the right. as
soon as the arm makes contact with stud no.1, the field circuit is directly connected across the line and
at the same time full staring resistance RSis placed in series with the armature. The starting current
drawn by the armature V/(Ra+Rs). As the arm is further moved, the starting resistance is gradually
cutoput till,
RESULT:
Thus the DC Motor and Induction Motor (AC) starters were studied.
