GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS TO STUDENTS FOR EEE LABORATORY

COURSES
SAFETY:
1 You are doing experiments with the help of electrical power. You have to be very
careful. You must clearly know the supply system to your worktable in particular and
the entire laboratory in general.
2 Incase of any thing goes wrong observation, you have to IMMEDIATELY SWITCH
OFF the supply to the worktable.
3 You have to tuck in your shirts and you have to wear an overcoat.
4 Wearing loose garments inside the lab is strictly prohibited.
5 You have to wear shoes compulsorily.
ATTENDANCE:
1 Every time you come to the laboratory class, you have to come with your record note
book, observation notebook, calculators etc.
2 You have to attend the lab classes at the stroke of the bell in the laboratory.
3 You have to give your attendance. You have to submit your records and have to show
the day's experiment's circuit diagram and get it attested. You have to occupy the
respective worktable of the machine. Collect required meters etc as per indent slip.
MAKING CONNECTIONS:
1 Start giving connections as per the circuit diagram from one side of the circuit.
2 Series circuits are to be only given first, with the help of connecting wires.
3 Make parallel connections, namely voltmeters last using silk wires.
4 Terminals of the meters should not be used as junction points. There should not be any
loose connection. Thoroughly check the connections and choose correct rheostat
positions before starting. Also keep all meters in horizontal position to read the
readings conveniently. Call staff to check the connections.
DOING EXPERIMENTS:
1 Switch ON the supply only in presence of staff member.
2 The experiments which include starters, move the handle of the starter slowly from
OFF to ON position.
3 Start the experiment as per the procedure. First check for the direction of rotation in
case of machines and deflection of meters.
OBSERVATION:
1 Enter all readings in the tabulation. Note down the multiplication factor of any meter
immediately.
2 During load test on motors, the needle of the spring balances may be vibrating. Arrest
gently the vibrations and take the reading.
3 Pour water in the brake drum at the time of loading.
CALCULATION:
1 Calculate all required quantities and enter in the tabulation. Show model calculations
for any one set of readings only.Units are VERY, VERY IMPORTANT. Draw the
necessary graphs. Write the result. Show it to the staff for getting signature.
RECORD:
1 As the name Implies, it is a record: PERMANENT RECORD for reference. Write
neatly; Draw circuit diagrams neatly and label correctly.
2 Enter readings in the tabulation.
3 UNITS are to be written for various quantities.
4 Draw Graph. Complete the record before you come for next lab class.

Additional Instructions

Avoid wearing any loose metallic rings, straps or bangles, as they are likely to prove
dangerous at times.

Before entering into the laboratory class, you must be well prepared for the experiment
that you are going to do on that day.

You must bring the related textbook, which may deal with the relevant experiment.

Get the circuit diagram approved with correct meter & fuse ratings

Get the reading verified. After the experiment inform the technician so that supply to the
worktable can be switched off.

You must get the observation note corrected within two days from the date of completion
of experiment. Write the answer for all the discussion questions in the observation note. If
not, marks for concerned observation will be proportionately reduced.

If you miss any practical class due to unavoidable reasons, intimate the staff in charge and
complete that experiment in the repetition class.

The students who fail to put in a minimum of 75% attendance in the laboratory class will
run the risk of not being allowed for the University Practical Examination. They will have to
repeat the lab course in subsequent semester after paying prescribed fee.

Girls should put their plait inside their overcoat

Acquire a good knowledge of the surrounding of your worktable. Know where the various
live points are situated in your table.

In case of any unwanted things happening, immediately switch off the mains in the
worktable. The same must be done when there is a power breakdown when the
experiment is being carried out.

Avoid carrying too many instruments at a time.

Avoid using water hydrant for electrical fires.

THEORY: O.C.C
In any D.C generator generated emf is directly proportional to the exciting field current
i.e. flux. O.C.C shows the relation between the no-load generated emf in the armature, 'Eo' and
the field or exciting current 'If at a given fixed speed.
It should be noted that OCC for a higher speed would be above this curve and for a
lower speed, below it.
(ii) Load Charactristics:
Let us consider a dc generator giving its rated no load voltage 'Eo' for a certain
constant field current. If there were no armature reaction and armature voltage drop, then this
voltage would have remained constant as shown in model graph by the dotted horizontal line I.
But when the generator is loaded, the voltage falls due to these two causes, thereby
giving slightly drooping characteristics. If we subtract from Eo, the value of voltage drop due
to armature reaction for different loads, then we get the value of E, the emf actually induced
in the armature under load conditions. Curve II is plotted in this way and is known as the
INTERNAL CHARACTERISTIC.
If we subtract from E the armature drop laRa, we get terminal voltage V. The reverse
procedure may also be adopted to obtain Internal characteristic (ie) adding laRa to V. Curve III
represents the EXTERNAL CHARACTERISTIC.
Comparison of self and separately excited generator gen characteristics:
Since the field current depends on terminal voltage in self excited generator, its load
characteristics would be more drooping than the other one. In O.C.C. there is no much
appreciable difference between the two types.

THEORY:
Principle of operation of a D.C. motor:
To operate DC machine as motor, field windings are excited with DC source and North
and South Pole magnetic fields established in the air gap by the stator poles, a DC current has
to be passed through the armature terminals.
Current carrying armature conductors cause additional magnetic field to be set up.
Interaction of this magnetic field with the main magnetic field set up by the stator poles cause a
force to be developed around the conductors.
The force developed in all the conductors is unidirectional (anti-clockwise) due to
commutator action.
In case, clockwise direction is required either the direction of the main field or the
direction of the current through the armature conductor is to be reversed.
As the armature rotates, the system of conductors in the armature come across alternate
North and South pole magnetic fields. Therefore an emf is induced in the conductors. This is
called as Back emf.
The plot of speed, torque, efficiency and input current (vs) output power are called the
performance characteristics of a motor.
The speed characteristics is almost a horizontal line and the speed regulation is good.
Hence a d.c shunt motor is generally referred to as a constant speed motor and are used in
applications such as lathes, centrifugal pump, machine tools, blower fans and etc.
The torque varies directly with the output load and the armature current because the
field is approximately constant over the load range .As compared to other motors a shunt motor
has a low means that a motor draws more current from the main supply than a series motor or a
compound motor at the time of starting. The small input current on no load goes to meet the
various losses occurring within the machine.

The efficiency curve with is usually the same for all motors It is advantageous to have
an efficiency curve which is fairly flat over a wide range of loads and having maximum
efficiency at full loads.
The rated field current is _____ A
Field circuit rheostat rating is _____ ; ____ A (the current rating should be
slightly higher than the rated current)
Rated voltage of motor V = _______ Volts
The range of voltmeter V is (0-

) Volts

FORMULAE:
Torque, (T) = (S1-S2)Rx9.81 Nm
Where S1, S2 -spring balance readings (kg) R- Radius of the brake drum (m)
Input power, Pi = VI watts
Output power, Po = 2IINT/60watts
Percentage efficiency = (Output power / Input power) x 100
PROCEDURE:
1. The circuit connections are given as shown in the circuit diagram. Ensure that there is
no load on the brake drum.
2. The supply is given by closing the DPST switch, keeping R1 in minimum resistance
position.
3. The motor is started using the dc 3 point starter, and it is allowed to run at rated speed
by adjusting the rheostat R1 which is connected to the field circuit. After setting the
speed rheostat position should not be altered.
4. At no load condition, the input voltage, current and speed are noted using voltmeter,
ammeter and tachometer. For load spring balance reading S1 & S2 are noted.
5. Now the load on the brake drum is increased, gradually and the corresponding
voltmeter, ammeter readings and speed, spring balance readings are noted down and
tabulated.
6. Then the load is gradually decreased and field rheostat is brought to the minimum
position and the supply is switched off.
7. Then torque, input power, output power and percentage efficiency are calculated by
using the formulae and tabulated.

THEORY:
We know that back emf is given by the following equation.
Eb = V Ia Ra = ZNP / A
N = ( V Ia Ra / Z ) * A/P rps.
N = K ( V Ia Ra / ) rps
Simply,
The speed of D.C. shunt motor = N V/
Where V = applied voltage (or armature voltage), = flux. ( field current)
So the speed is directly proportional to armature voltage and inversely proportional to field current.
It is clear that the variation of speed is possible in three different ways:
(i)

VARIATION OF FIELD (FLUX) CONTROL METHOD

A more economical method of speed control is by rheostat adjustment of the field current. If the
field flux is reduced, the speed increases. Using this method, speed can be increased above rated
speed. In non- inter poles, it is in the ratio 2:1 and in inter poles maximum to minimum speed of 6:1
is fairly common. But it is not possible to reduce the speed below the rated speed.

The disadvantage of this method are i) Output torque gets reduced & ii) Higher speed results in
poor commutation.
(ii)

ARMATURE CONTROL METHOD:

In this method, armature current is controlled by means of a rheostat in the armature circuit. For a
given armature current the larger the resistance of the controller, the smaller will be the voltage
across the armature and hence the speed will lower. This method is used when Speed below the noload speed is required.
The main disadvantages of this type of speed control are
1. The losses are more and hence it is relatively more costly.
2. The efficiency is low.
3. The speed cannot be increased.

PROCEDURE:
ARMATURE CONTROL METHOD:
1. Connections are given as shown in the circuit diagram and initially the field rheostat R1 is
kept in minimum position and armature rheostat R2 is kept in maximum position.
2. Supply is given and the motor is started. The armature resistance is cutdown and speed is
measured.
3. If the motor runs below the rated speed, adjust the field rheostat and motor is brought to its
rated speed, The field current, 'If' is kept constant.
4. Now the armature voltage (ie potential drop across the armature) is varied by varying the
armature rheostat and corresponding voltmeter, ammeter (la) readings and speed are noted.
5. The same procedure is repeated for another value of constant field current 'If'
FIELD CONTROL METHOD:
1. The motor is run at the rated speed as usual. Armature voltage and hence armature current is
kept constant.
2. The field current is varied and the value of the field current 'If' and speed are noted in the
tabular column.
3. The same procedure is repeated for another constant value of armature current.

THEORY:
1. EFFICIENCY: Transformer is a static device by which electric power is transformed from
one circuit to another circuit at the same frequency .Hence in transformer there are no friction or
winding losses as in the case electric motors.
For small transformer direct loading method can be employed where input & output power can
be measured .The efficiency of a good transformer will be in the range of 95 to 98% and motors
have 70 to 80%
2. REGULATION:
Regulation is an impedance parameter by which the performance of a transformer
can be assessed The lesser the value, the better the transformer because a good transformer
should keep its secondary terminal voltage as constant as possible under all conditions of load.
When a transformer is supplied with a constant primary voltage, the secondary voltage
decreases (assuming lagging p.f loads) because of its internal resistance and leakage reactance,
Let the change in secondary terminal voltage from no load to full load is
(VNL VFL). % Regulation down = (VNL VFL) / VNL. X 100
If this change is divided by VNL then the regulation is known as .REGULATION DOWN' If this
change is divided by VFL ' then it is known as 'REGULATION UP' % Regulation up = (VNL
VFL) / VFL. X 100

Normally, we are interested in finding regulation 'down'

The loads can be Resistive, Inductive, Capacitive or combinations of these loads are possible, The
regulation characteristics curve will be as shown in the model graph. where it is drawn between
power factor and % regulation, But for resistive loads, it is enough to draw the same between output

THEORY:
Open Circuit Test: In this test the high voltage side of the transformer is left open. Primary side is
connected across the normal rated voltage. Normal flux is hence set up in the core and the
transformer has only iron loss and no copper loss as under no load current is negligible. Hence
power consumed during open circuit is only for feeding iron loss or core loss and it remains
constant irrespective of load conditions. The voltmeter, ammeter and watt meter readings are noted
down and the current Iu and Iw are calculated.
Short Circuit Test: This is an economical method for determining the equivalent impedance (Z01 or
Z02), Leakage reactance (X01 or X02) and total resistance (R01 or R02) of the transformer as
referred to the winding in which the measuring instruments are placed and the full load copper loss.
The low voltage winding is generally short circuited and rated full load current is made to flow in
the circuit by applying a small percentage of normal voltage by means of an auto transformer.
Because of this, core losses are very small with the result that wattmeter reading represents full load
copper loss for the whole transformer.
Equivalent Circuit: The equivalent circuit consists of no load parameters R0 and X0 which are
found out by performing open circuit test on single phase transformer. The winding resistance and
leakage reactance are obtained from short circuit test. Once these parameters are known, the
transformer efficiency, regulation can be obtained for various load conditions and power factor.

It is evident that copper loss depends on current and iron loss on voltage. Hence total transformer
loss depends on volt-ampere (VA) and not on phase angle between voltage and current. (ie) it is
independent of load power factor. That is why rating of transformer is in kVA and not in kw.
RANGE FIXING:
Oc Test:

Wattmeter:
The current rating and voltage rating of Wattmeter must be near to the value calculated above.
Under O.C. condition the reactive power drawn is more and the active power drawn is less. So

The range of wattmeter is V, . A, LPF.

THEORY:
The operation of a separately excited DC generator assumes that armature resistance is driven at
constant speed (by means of a prime mover) and field excitation If is adjusted to given rated voltage
at no load and is then held constant at this value throughout operation is considered. The armature
circuit is governed by the equation:
V = Ea - Ia Ra
Inspite of the field excitation , Ea drops off with load owing to demagnetizing effect of armature
reaction. In case of self excited generator , a part of the supply voltage itself is used for excitation of
field.
Transfer function :
Let Rf = Resistance of field circuit ; W
Lf = Inductance of field circuit ; Henry
Eg = Generated voltage ; Volts
Vf = Excitation voltage ; Voltages
Ra = Armature resistance ; Ohms
Lf = Armature Inductance; Henry

Now for a generator

Eg ------------------------ (1)
Flux is directly proportional to field current If through the windings.
Eg If ------------------------ (2)
Let Kg be the generator constant in V/A
Eg = Kg If --------------------- (3)
Applying Kirchoffs law to field circuit,
Ef(t) = Rf If(t) + Lf dIf(t)/dt -------------(4)
Taking Laplace transform of equation (4)
Ef(s) = Rf If(s) + Lf s If(s),
which implies If(s) / Ef(s) =1 / [Rf+s Lf]----------------(5)
Eg (s)= Kg If (s)-------------------(6)
From (5) & (6)
Eg(s) / Ef(s) = Kg / [Rf+s Lf] ---------- (7)
We know that
Eg = Ra IL + La dIL / dt -------------------- (8)
Taking laplace transform of equation (8)
Eg(s) = (Ra + La s) IL(s),
From this
IL(s) / Ef(s) = Kg / [Rf+s Lf][ (Ra + La s)] ----------(9)
The transfer function of a separately excited DC generator is
IL(s) / Vf(s) = Kg / [Rf+s Lf][ (Ra + La s)] ----------(10)
can be represented in block diagram format as shown below.

IL(s) -Load current ; Vf(s) - Excitation voltage ; Kg - Induced emf constant in V/Amp ; Rf - Field

12. DIGITAL SIMULATION OF LINEAR SYSTEMS

AIM:
To digitally simulate the time response characteristics of Linear SISO systems using state
variable formulation.
APPARATU REQUIRED:
 A PC with MATLAB package.
THEORY:
State Variable approach is a more general mathematical representation of a system, which,
along with the output, yields information about the state of the system variables at some
predetermined points along the flow of signals. It is a direct time-domain approach, which
provides a basis for modern control theory and system optimization.

SISO (single input single output) linear systems can be easily defined with transfer function
analysis. The transfer function approach can be linked easily with the state variable approach.
The state model of a linear-time invariant system is given by the following equations:

X(t) = A X(t) + B U(t) State equation

Y(t) = C X(t) + D U(t) Output equation

Where

A = n x n system matrix,
B = n x m input matrix,

14. STUDY THE EFFECT OF P, PI, PID CONTROLLERS USING MAT

LAB.
AIM:
To design a P, PI, PID controller using Ziegler Nichols Tuning with process control
simulator.
APPARATU REQUIRED:


A PC with MATLAB package.

THEORY:
The transient response of a practical control system often exhibits damped oscillation before
reaching steady state value. In specifying the transient response characteristics of control systems to
unit step input, it is common to specify the following
i)
Delay Time(Td)
ii)
Rise time(Tr)
iii)
Peal time( Tp)
iv)
Max. overshoot (Mp)
v)
Settling time( Ts)
Proportional control:
The output of the controller is proportional to input
U(t) = Kp e(t)
E(t) = error signal
U(t) controller out[put
Kp = proportional constant

It amplifies the error signal and increases loop gain. Hence steady state tracking accuracy ,
disturbance signal rejection and relative stability are improved.
Its drawbacks are low sensitivity to parameter variation and it produces constant steady state
error.

Proportional + Integral Control:

The output of the PI controller is given by
t
U(t) = Kp [ e(t) + (1/Ti ) e(t) dt ]

0
where Kp is the proportionality constant and Ti is called the integral time.

This controller is also called RESET controller.

It introduces a zero in the system and increases the order by 1.
The type number of open loop system is increased by 1
It eliminates steady state error. Damping ratio remains same.
Increase in order decreases the stability of system.

Proportional + Integral Control + Differential Control:

The output of a PID controller is given by
t
U(t) = Kp [ e(t) + (1/Ti ) e(t) dt + Td de(t)/dt ]
0
The PID controller introduces a zero in the system and increases the damping. This reduces
peak overshoot and reduces rise time. Due to increase in damping, ultimately peak overshoot
reduces.
The stability of the system improves.
In PID controller, all effects are combined. Proportional control stabilizes gain but produces
steady state error. Integral control eliminates error. Derivative controller reduces rate of change of
error.
TUNING OF PID CONTROLLERS
Proportional-integral-differential (PID) controllers are commonly employed in process
control industries. Hence we shall present various techniques of tuning PID controllers to achieve
certain performance index for systems dynamic response. The technique to be adopted for
determining the proportional, integral and derivative constants of the controller depends upon the
dynamic response of the plant.
In presenting the various tuning techniques we shall assume the basic control configuration,
wherein the controller input is the error between the desired output and the actual output. This error
is manipulated by the controller (PID) to produce a command signal for the plant according to the
relationship.
U(s)=Kp (1+(1/si)+sd)
Where

Kp= proportional gain constant

I= integral time constant.
d= Derivative time constant.

15. DESIGN oF LEAD AND LAG COMPENSATOR

AIM:
To design a lead and lag compensator network for the process given in the Process Control
Simulator.
APPARATU REQUIRED:


A PC with MATLAB package.

THEORY:
Practical feedback control systems are often required to satisfy design specification in the
transient as well as steady state regions. This is not possible by selecting good quality components
alone (due to basic limitations and characteristics of these components). Cascade compensation is
most commonly used for this purpose and design of compensation networks figures prominently in
any course in automatic control systems.
In general, there are two situations in which compensation is required. In the first case the
system is absolutely unstable and the compensation is required to stabilize it as well as to achieve a
specified performance. In the second case the system is stable but the compensation is required to
obtain the desired performance. The systems which are of type 2 or higher are usually unstable. For
these systems, lead compensator is required, because the lead compensator increases the margin of
stability. For type 1 and type 0 systems stable operation is always possible. If the gain is sufficiently
reduced, in such cases, any of three components viz. Lag, Lead, Lag Lead must be used to obtain
the desired performance. The simulation of this behavior of the Lead Lag Compensator can be
done with the module (VLLN OI).
An electronic Lead - lag network using Operational amplifiers is given figure 1.

Fig.1 LEAD -LAG NETWORK USING OPERATIONAL -AMPLIFIER

The transfer function for this circuit can be obtained as follows :
Z1 = R1 C1

Let

The second op-amp acts as a sign inverter with a variable gain to compensate for the magnitude.
The transfer function of the entire system is given by
G(j) = ( R4 R2/ R3 R1 ) (1+R1C1s) / (1+R2 C2 s)
G(j) ( = R4 R2/ R3 R1 ) ( 1+T122) / ( 1+T222 )
where T1 = R1 C1 ;

T2 = R2 C2

= angle G(j) = - tan-1(T1) tan-1(T2).

Thus steady state output is
For an input =X sint,
Yss(t) =X (R4 R2/ R3 R1) (( 1+T122) / ( 1+T222 ))sin(wt tan-1 T1 tan-1 T2 )
From this expression, we find that if T1 > T2, then tan-1 T1 tan-1 T2 > 0.
Thus if T1 > T2 , then the network is a LEAD NETWORK.
If T1 < T2 , then the network is a LAG NETWORK.

DETERMINATION OF VALUES FOR ANGLE COMPENSATION:

Frequency of sine wave = 20 Hz
Angle to be compensated = 70
= tan-1 (2 f * T1) tan-1 (2 f * T2)
T1 = 10, then substituting in above equation
70 - tan-1 (2 * * 20 * 10) tan-1 (2 * * 20 *T2)
solving for T2
T2 = 0.003 .
Hence, the values of T1 and T2 are chosen from which values of

R1 ,C1 , R2 and C2 can be

determined .
For example, T1 =R1 C1 = 10 ;

If C1= 1F, then R1 = 10 M.

T2 = 0.003 = R2 C2 then C2 =1 F, and hence R2 = 3 M.

These values produce a phase lead of 70 which is the desired compensation angle.
Nominal Value for R1 =1 M
R2 =20 K

C1 = 0.1 F
C2 = 0.01 F

PROCEDURE:
For the given transfer function of the system design theoretically the lead and lag compensator.
Then using M file of MAT lab write a programme to design the same and compare the values
obtained.
