Tabulation for Short Circuit Test: Short Circuit Test: Short circuit test can be determined by the copper loss. The copper loss occurs when the current flows through the winding .It is equal to I2R.

For this reason, very high degree of accuracy can be achieved using wheat stone bridge. It is used to measure low and medium value resistances. Figure shows the basic circuit, of a wheat stone bridge. It has four resistive arms, consisting of resistances P, Q, R and S together with a source of emf (a battery) and a null detector (galvanometers) or other sensitive current meter.

AIM To measure the frequency and phase angle using lissajious figure.

APPARATUS REQUIRED Sl. No 1 2 3 Apparatus Name CRO Function Generator Connecting wires Range Type Quantity 1 2 As Required

THEORY FREQUENCY MEASUREMENT To measure a frequency, the waveform viewed by the oscilloscope must be periodic. For example, the period of the sine function is between any two alternate zero crossing. The period can also be measured between any two positive peaks or any two negative peaks. The frequency is determined by, Frequency = 1/period PHASE ANGLE MEASUREMENT It is interesting to consider the characteristics of patterns that appear on the screen of a CRT when sinusoidal voltages are simultaneously applied to horizontal and vertical plates. These patterns are called Lissajous patterns. When two sinusoidal voltages of equal

frequency, which are in phase with each other, are applied to the horizontal and vertical deflection plates, the pattern appearing on the screen is a straight line. Thus when two equal voltages of equal frequency but with 90 phase displacement are applied to a CRO, the trace on the screen is a circle. When two equal voltages of equal frequency but with a phase shift of (not equal to 0 or 90) are applied to a CRO we obtain an ellipse. The phase angle is either between 0 or 90 or between 270 to 360. When the major axis of ellipse lies in second and fourth quadrants i.e. when its slope is negative, the phase angle is either between 90 and 180 or between 180and 270.

Strain Gauge Measurement:

15. STRAIN GAUGE MEASUREMENT

AIM To measure the strain in the beam using Strain Gauge Trainer Kit.

APPARATUS REQUIRED

Theory: The strain gauge is an example of a passive transducer that uses the variation in electrical resistance in wires to sense the strain produced by a force on the wires. It is well known that stress (force/unit area) and strain (elongation or compression/unit length) in a member or portion of any object under pressure is directly related to the modulus of elasticity. Since strain can be measured more easily by using variable resistance transducers, it is a common practice to measure strain instead of stress, to serve as an index of pressure. Such transducers are popularly known as strain gauges. If a metal conductor is stretched or compressed, its resistance changes on account of the fact that both the length and diameter of the conductor changes. Also, there is a change in the value of the Resistivity of the conductor when subjected to strain, a property called the Piezo resistive gauges. When a gauge is subjected to a positive stress, its length increases while its area of cross section decreases. Since the resistance of a conductor is directly proportional to its length and inversely proportional to its area of cross section, the resistance of the gauge increases with positive strain. The change in resistance value of a conductor under strain is more than for an increase in resistance due to its dimensional changes. This property is called the Piezo resistive effect.

Tabulation: Strain Gauge Measurement

LVDT MEASUREMENT Aim: To measure the displacement using LVDT Trainer Kit. Apparatus Required: S.NO Apparatus name Quantity 1. LVDT Trainer Kit 1 2. Screw Gauge 1 3. Multimeter 1 Theory: The differential transformer is a passive inductive transformer. It is also known as a Linear Variable Differential Transformer (LVDT). The transformer consists of a single primary winding P1 and two secondary windings S1 and S2 wound on a hollow cylindrical former. The secondary windings have an equal number of turns and are identically placed on either side of the primary winding. The primary winding is connected to an ac source. An movable soft iron core slides within the hollow former and therefore affects the magnetic coupling between the primary and the two secondaries. The displacement to be measured is applied to an arm attached to the soft iron core. (Ni iron alloy)

When the core is in its normal (null) position, equal voltages are induced in the two secondary windings. The frequency of the ac applied to the primary winding ranges from 50Hz to 20KHz. The output voltage of the secondary windings S1 is Es1 and that of secondary winding S2 is Es2. In order to convert the output from S1 to S2 into a single voltage signal, the two secondaries S1 and S2 are connected in series opposition. Hence the output voltage of the transducer is the difference of the two voltages. Therefore the differential output voltage E0 =Es1 ~ Es2. Procedure: 1. The connections are made as shown in the circuit diagram. 2. The power supply is switched ON. 3. The screw gauge is adjusted so that the LVDT reads 8mm. 4. The displacement of core is reduced by adjusting the Screw Gauge step by step by 2mm and the corresponding readings are noted. 5. The Screw Gauge is adjusted up to the LVDT reads 8mm. the Screw Gauge reading is noted and display reading is noted across T1 and T8. 6. The power supply is switched OFF.

DRB - 1 4. Bread Board - 1 5. Wires - Formula: Shunt resistance (I Im) (ImRm) Rsh = (m 1) Rm Rsh = Multiplication Factor Im I m= Theory: The range of an electrical measurement is actually limited by the current. This current can be carried by the coil of the instrument safely. The moving coil and

the spiral springs are used as coil connectors. These can be designed for a maximum current of only 50mA and a potential drop of above 50mV. So, far measuring large current or voltage, the range of the instrument has to be extended. The common devices employed for extending the range of instruments are shunts and multipliers. When instruments are supplied with such external devices, the instrument is calibrated over the range of associated shunt or multiplier. The basic movement of a DC ammeter is a permanent magnet moving coil galvanometer. The basic movement coil is small and light. So it can carry only a very small current. When large current is to be measured, it becomes necessary to bypass the major part of current through shunt resistance. An ammeter shunt is merely a low resistance. This is placed in parallel with the instrument coil circuit to measure large current. ECE Department ECI Lab Manual 92 Tabulation: Extending the Range of Ammeter: S.NO.

Procedure: 1. Connections are made as per the circuit diagram. 2. The power supply is switched ON. 3. RM is found by using Multimeter and find RSH. 4. By varying RPS test meter, standard meter readings are noted and tabulated. 5. The power supply is switched OFF. Graph: Error Curve: It is drawn by taking Is along X axis and error along Y axis. Correction Curve: It is drawn by taking IT along X axis and correction along Y axis. Application: The range of ammeter can be extended by using a suitable shunt across its terminals. By using this experiment, we can increase the measuring capacity of instrument. Result: Thus the range of ammeter was extended and the ammeter was calibrated with the standard meter. Viva Question: 1. How do we extend the range of ammeter? 2. What is damping torque? 3. What is the use of controlling torque?

STEP 3: THEVENIENS EQUIVALENT CIRCUIT TO FIND IL:

THEORY: In any linear network contains voltage sources and resistances can be replaced by equivalent voltage source (VTH) in series with equivalent Resistance(RTH) if viewed from any one point in a network. Step1: Remove the load Resistor RL where current is required. Step2: Label the terminal from which RL is removed. Step3: Calculate the open circuit voltage across the labeled terminal. This is the Thevenins voltage (VTH). Step4: Draw the equivalent circuit. Step5: Find the current in RL using the formula, IL= VTH / (RTH=RL)

PROCEDURE: 1. Connections are made as shown in the circuit diagram. 2. Switch ON the power supply. 3. The load current is noted from Ammeter. 4. The load resistance RL and ammeter are removed from the circuit and VTH is formed. 5. The RPS is also removed and RTH is found. 6. Now we can draw Thevenins equivalent circuit which consists of RTH and RL connected in series with VTH. 7. Now we can find IL.

RESULT: Thus the Thevenins Theorem is verified.
