set as dc ammeters;
19.
Measure the total current I (ammeter (1)) and the
current IR2 flowing in the resistance R2 (ammeter (2)) and
write down the values in Tab.6.4;
20.
Move the ammeter (2) between the terminals D and E
(by removing the cable) and measure the current I R3 flowing
in the resistance R3, with the terminals (B, C) joined with a
cable and write down the value in Tab.6.4;
21.
Write in Tab.6.4 to the value of the current that flows
in R1;
22.
Verify that the sum of the branch measured current (I R2
and IR3) is equal to the total current (I or IR1);
23.
Calculate the current through each resistor using
Ohms law and write down the values in Tab.6.4;
24.
Verify that the sum of the branch calculated currents
(IR2 and IR3) is equal to the total current IR1;
25.
Compare the measured values with calculated ones
and comment on the results;
Modification insertion
26.
Set the circuit as in Fig.6.2d with the ammeter (2)
inserted between D and E and join the terminals B and C
with a cable;
27.
Verify that the currents I R1 and IR3 are the ones
measured above at steps 20) and 21);
28.
Remove the cover of the Modifications/Faults simulator
and set the switch M4 to the ON position (covered dot);
29.
Observe the new measured values of the currents I R1
(I) and IR3 and write them down in Tab.6.4;
30.
Move the terminals of the ammeter (2) between B and
C and connect with a jumper D and E;
31.
Measure the current IR2 and write the value in Tab.6.4;
32.
Compare the current values with modification and
those with no modification and try to locate the cause of the
modification among the possible following ones:
a. R1 short-circuited
b. R2 has increased
c. R3 short-circuited
d. R3 has decreased
33.
Remove the instruments and all the jumpers and
measure both the resistances R1, R2 and R3 and the total
resistance RT and write the values in Tab.6.1;
34.
Comment on the results;
35.
Replace the switch M3 in the Off position;
Fault insertion
36.
Set the circuit as in Fif.6.2b to measure the parallel
resistance Rp and the equivalent resistance Rs;
37.
Set the switch F5 to the OFF (1) position (or press the
Fault button) to insert the Fault F5 in the circuit;;
38.
Measure Rp and Rs and write down the values in
Tab.6.2;
39.
Perform further operations to locate which fault has
been inserted by compiling the squares of the tables tab.6.3
and Tab.6.4, relative to fault F5;
40.
Annotate your comments about the F5 fault insertion:
41.
Replace the Fault switch F5 in the ON position (or
press the Fault button);
42.
Set the circuit as in Fig.6.2b to measure the parallel
resistance Rp and the equivalent resistance Rs;
43.
Set the switch F6 to the ON position (or press the Fault
button) to insert the Fault F6 in the circuit;
44.
Measure Rp and Rs and write down the values in
Tab.6.2;
45.
Perform further operations to locate which fault has
been inserted by compiling the squares of the tables Tab.6.3
and Tab.6.4, relative to fault F6;
46.
Annotate your comments about the F6 fault insertion:
47.
Replace the Fault switch F4 in the ON position (or
press the Fault button) and cover the Faults/Modifications
simulator.
