ELECTRICAL LABORATORY
EQUIPMENTS
Different types of supply systems, instruments and other apparatus required in laboratory are as
follows:-
Supply systems-
(a) A.C. Supply:
(i) Single phase 230 volts 50Hz.
(ii)Three phase 415 volts 50Hz.Three phase terminals and fourth neutral terminal.
(b) D.C. Supply:
(i) 220 volts D.C. from generator or rectifier.
(ii) 6 volts or 12 volts from battery or rectifier.
A.C. as well as D.C. supply is available through switch and fuse unit.
Laboratory apparatus:
Rheostat:
Rheostat is an adjustable resistor used in applications that require the adjustment of current
or the varying of resistance in an electric circuit. The
rheostat can adjust generator characteristics, dim lights,
and start or control the speed of motors. Its resistance
element can be a metal wire or ribbon, carbon, or a
conducting liquid, depending on the application. Usually
rheostat has two fixed terminals and a third terminal
connected to a variable contact arm. It is available in
Single tube shape and Double tube shape.
Electric fuse:
Electric fuse is a safety device used to protect an electric circuit against
an excessive current. A fuse consists essentially of a strip of low-
melting alloy enclosed in a suitable housing. It is connected in series
with the circuit it is to protect. Because of its electrical resistance , the
alloy strip in the fuse is heated by an electric current. If the current
exceeds the safe value for which the fuse was designed, the strip melts,
opening the circuit and stopping the current. The fuse housing is
designed to resist the pressure generated if the over current vaporizes
the alloy strip, provided the voltage across the fuse does not exceed its
rating. Some fuses, called slow-blow fuses, are designed to carry a
small overload for a short time without opening the circuit, while
others are designed to open very rapidly if the rated current is
exceeded. The choice of one type or the other depends on the
ruggedness of the equipment to be protected and whether large pulses
D EP T O F EEE EE L A B M A N U A L
L EN D I I N ST I T U T E O F EN G I N EER I N G & T EC H N O L O G Y 2
of current often occur in the circuit; a slow-blow fuse is usually used to protect motors, and
a fast-blow fuse to protect electronic equipment. The available fuse ratings in the laboratory
are 5A, 10A, and 15A.
Electrical Switches:
Switches are devices used to allow electric current to flow when closed, and when opened,
they prevent current flow. Common switch types include pushbutton, rocker, toggle, rotary
coded DIP, DIP, rotary, key lock, slide, snap action, and reed
Pole and throw configurations for switches
can be single pole single throw (SPST),
single pole double throw (SPDT), double
pole single throw (DPST), double pole
double throw (DPDT),Triple pole single
throw (TPST) or Triple pole double throw
(TPDT).
SPST is a switch that makes or breaks the
connection of a single conductor in a single
branch circuit. This switch typically has two
terminals. It is commonly referred to as a
"Single-Pole" Switch. SPDT is a switch that
makes or breaks the connection of a single
conductor with either of two other single conductors. This switch typically has 3 terminals,
and is commonly used in pairs and called a "Three-Way" switch.
DPST is a switch that makes or breaks the connection of two circuit conductors in a single
branch circuit. This switch typically has four terminals.
DPDT is a switch that makes or breaks the connection of two conductors to two separate
circuits. This switch typically has six terminals
Variac (Auto transformer):
Autotransformer is a device used to obtain variable ac
voltages. By using this device we can obtain voltages of values
higher than its input voltage. This unit would normally be
mounted behind an instrument or product panel, with only the
knob and dial plate protruding.
Device like this may be used for small motor speed
adjustment, light control or other controller application.
This is available in three phase and single phase.

Electric motors:
An electric motor is a machine used to convert electrical
energy to mechanical energy. Electric motors are extremely
important to modern-day life, being used in many different places,
e.g., vacuum cleaners, dishwashers, computer printers, fax
machines, video cassette recorders, machine tools, printing
presses, automobiles, subway systems, sewage treatment plants
and water pumping stations.
The major physical principles behind the operation of an electric
motor are known as Amperes law and Faraday's law. The first states that an electrical
conductor sitting in a magnetic field will experience a force if any current flowing through
the conductor has a component at right angles to that field. Reversal of either the current or
the magnetic field will produce a force acting in the opposite direction. The second
principle states that if a conductor is moved through a magnetic field, then any component
of motion perpendicular to that field will generate a potential difference between the ends
of the conductor.
An electric motor consists of two essential elements. The first, a static component which
consists of magnetic materials and electrical conductors to generate magnetic fields of a
desired shape, is known as the stator. The second, which also is made from magnetic and
electrical conductors to generate shaped magnetic fields which interact with the fields
generated by the stator, is known as the rotor. The rotor comprises the moving component
of the motor, having a rotating shaft to connect to the machine being driven and some
means of maintaining an electrical contact between the rotor and the motor housing
(typically, carbon brushes pushed against slip rings). In operation, the electrical current
supplied to the motor is used to generate magnetic fields in both the rotor and the stator.
These fields push against each other with the result that the rotor experiences a torque and
consequently rotates.Electrical motors fall into two broad categories, depending on the type
of electrical power applied-direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) motors.
Measuring Instruments:
For measurement of current, voltage, power, speed and torque
different meters are used in laboratories which are:
Ammeter:
This is an Instrument that measures electric current (flow of
charge per unit time), usually in Amperes, through a conductor. It
should not be confused with a voltmeter, which measures
potential difference between two points in a circuit. The ammeter
is placed in series with the component through which current is
to be measured, and is constructed with a low internal resistance
in order to prevent the reduction of that current as it flows
D EP T O F EEE EE L A B M A N U A L
L EN D I I N ST I T U T E O F EN G I N EER I N G & T EC H N O L O G Y 4
through the instrument itself.
The common types are the Moving-Coil meter, which measures direct current
(DC),Moving Iron meter, which can measure both A.C. as well as D.C.( Hot-wire, moving-
iron, and dynamometer ammeters can be used for both DC and AC). The nature and
magnitude of current decides the rating and type of ammeter.
Voltmeter:
Voltmeter is an instrument that measures voltages of either
direct or alternating electric current on a scale usually graduated
in volts, mill volts (0.001 volt), or kilovolts (1,000 volts). The
typical commercial or laboratory standard voltmeter in use
today is likely to employ an electromechanical mechanism in
which current flowing through turns of wire is translated into a
reading of voltage. The voltmeter should be connected across
the two points between which the potential difference is to be
measured. They are also classified into many types. The
common types are Moving-Coil meter, which measures DC
voltage, Moving Iron meter, which can measure both A.C. as
well as D.C. voltage. Like ammeters the nature and magnitude
decides the type and range of the voltmeter.
Wattmeter:
For measuring the power directly the instrument used is wattmeter. It has two coils namely
current coil and pressure coil. The current coil carries
the current and is connected in sense like ammeter.
The pressure coil has the circuit voltage across it and
is connected in sense like voltmeter. In D.C. circuits
the power measured is the product of voltage and
current i.e,
And in A.C. circuits power measured is the product of
voltage, current and power factor i.e,
It is necessary that the two coils of wattmeter are
connected properly otherwise it gives the deflection
in opposite direction.

L EN D I I N ST I T U T E O F EN G I N EER I N G & T EC H N O L O G Y 5
Tachometer:
Tachometer is a measuring device that indicates rotational (angular)
speed in revolutions per minute (rpm). The word tachometer is a
combination of the Greek words tachos, meaning speed, and metria,
meaning measure.
Tachometer is to be inserted in tapered hole in the rotating shaft end
of machine for measurement of speed. As it rotates and displays the
results on a gauge. There are many different types of tachometers,
beyond the familiar dashboard gauge. These vary in appearance,
operation, and application. Other type is digital tachometer.
Digital multi meters:
Gradually in laboratory and also in field digital meters are replacing
analog meters for measurement of voltage, current, resistance etc.
Digital multi meters with great accuracy are generally used for measurement of different
quantities.
Obtaining variable voltage from the supply system:
(a) D.C Circuits: From a D.C. Supply system of a given constant voltage, the variable
voltage can be obtained using potentiometer arrangement. In this arrangement the
constant D.C. input is applied between the two fixed terminals of the rheostat and the
output is taken between the variable terminal and one of the two fixed terminals.
Variable D.C. output voltage can be obtained by varying the variable arm of the
rheostat.
(b) Single phase and three phase A.C. circuits: In A.C. circuits variable voltage is
generally obtained by using single phase or three phase auto transformer or variac.
Electrical loading arrangements:
To load a generator or a supply system electrically, a rheostat is used.
Mechanical loading of the motors:
Brake pulley:-The motor is coupled to a pulley. This pulley is braked by belt tensions at
the two ends of the belt. The belt tensions are adjustable by tightening and there are spring
balances to know the tensions. Thus the net tension is the difference of the two. Thus if T
1
and T
2
are the tension in Newton with T
2
>T
1
, and is the angular speed of the motor in
radians/sec and R is the pulley radius in meters.
The torque is then obtained by the product of the net tension and the pulley radius.
= ( T

T

) R Nm
The power output is obtained by the product of the torque and the pulley speed in
radians/sec., the power output is

General precautions while working in the electrical laboratories.
It is desirable that student should go to the laboratory after understanding the circuit
diagram and the procedure of performing the experiment.
General precautions:
Understand the equipment to be tested and apparatus to be used, before working with
them.
Make all the connections tight.
Do not leave loose wires.
Do not touch live terminals.
Use suitable wire types and sizes.
Connection of three phase circuits: The diagrams of the three phase systems are generally
drawn with color code i.e., red (for R-phase), yellow (for Y-phase) and blue (for B-phase).It
is highly desirable to use the connecting wires with their insulation as per the code. Thus
the red phase will be connected with red wires and the yellow and blue phase with the
yellow and blue wires respectively. The neutral point can be connected with black or white
or any other color.

VERIFICATION OF SUPERPOSITION
& RECIPROCITY THEOREMS
AIM : To verify Superposition & Reciprocity theorems for the given network.
APPARATUS :
THE
ORY:
-
I. Superposition Theorem Statement:
In a linear network with several independent sources which include equivalent
sources due to initial conditions and linear dependent sources, the overall response in any part
of the network is equal to the sum of the individual responses due to each independent source,
considered separately, with all other independent sources reduced to zero.
Note: 1. The sources which are considered one at a time making all other sources zero,
are the independent sources including sources due to initial conditions only. The dependent
sources are retained as they are in the network.
2. When one independent source is considered & all other independent sources are
reduced to zero means that all the other independent voltage source are replaced with short
circuit and all the other independent current sources are replaced with open circuit. If the sources
contain internal impedances, that sources are replaced by their internal impedances.
II. Reciprocity Theorem Statement:
The Reciprocity theorem states that the ratio of response to excitation is invariant
to an interchange of the position of the excitation and response in a single source network.
However if the excitation is a voltage source, the response should be a current and vice versa.

flowing through the short circuited path, replaced instead of R
L
. It is also called Nortons
current. The R
N
is the equivalent resistance of the given network as viewed through the load
terminals, with R
L
removed and all the active sources are replaced by their internal
resistances. If the internal resistances are unknown then the independent voltage sources must
be replaced by short circuit while the independent current sources must be replaced by open
circuit.

L EN D I I N ST I T U T E O F EN G I N EER I N G & T EC H N O L O G Y 4 4
THEORY:
The performance of a transformer can be calculated on the basis of the equivalent circuit
which contains four main parameters, the equivalent resistance R
01
as referred to primary
(or secondary R
02
)
,
the equivalent leakage reactance X
01
referred to primary (or secondary
X
02
), the core loss conductance G
0
or resistance R
0
and magnetizing reactance X
0
. These
parameters can be easily determined by performing Open circuit test & Short circuit tests.
The losses obtained are used in calculating the efficiency & regulation of the transformer.
These tests are very economical and convenient because they furnish the required
information with out actually loading the transformer.
OPEN CIRCUIT TEST:
The purpose of this test is to determine no load loss or core loss and no load current I
0

which is helpful in finding R


0
and X
0
.
In this test , the transformer secondary winding (usually HV side) is left open and the
primary winding (LV side) is connected to supply of normal voltage and frequency.
With normal voltage applied to the primary a small current I
0
flows in the primary
which produces magnetic flux in the core. The transformer draws reactive power from the
supply to establish the magnetic flux, active power is also absorbed by the transformer to
overcome the core loss due to hysteresis and eddy current.
The reactive power at no load is much higher than the active power so the power factor is
small. The primary no load current I
0
is small (usually 2 to 10% of the rated load
current),therefore copper loss is negligibly small in primary and nil in secondary (it being
open).
These core loss under no load condition is same for all loads as the net flux passing
through the core is approximately the same as at no load.
SHORT CIRCUIT TEST:
This is an economical method to determine equivalent impedance (Z
01
or Z
02
), leakage
reactance(X
01
or X
02
), total resistance (R
01
or R
02
) of the transformer and copper loss at
full load (or at any desired load).
In this test the secondary side (usually low voltage winding) is solidly short-circuited.
Now the primary is connected to a power source of reduced potential (usually 5 to10%
of normal voltage) that is enough to cause the rated current to flow in both primary and
secondary windings.
D EP T O F EEE EE L A B M A N U A L
L EN D I I N ST I T U T E O F EN G I N EER I N G & T EC H N O L O G Y 4 5
Since in this test the applied voltage is a small percentage of normal voltage, the mutual
flux produced is so small percentage of normal value. Hence the core losses are very
small and the losses now taking place will be full load copper loss.
PROCEDURE:
OC TEST:
1. Connect the circuit as per the circuit diagram.
2. The HV side of the transformer is kept open & the normal voltage of 230V is applied to LV
side by adjusting the autotransformer ( variac)
3. Note down the readings of ammeter, voltmeter and wattmeter on LV side.
SC TEST:
1. Connect the circuit as per the circuit diagram.
2. The LV side of the transformer is short circuited & using the autotransformer adjust the HV
side voltage such that the ammeter reads the full load current of HV winding
3. Note down the readings of ammeter, voltmeter and wattmeter on HV side.

Shunt wound and Compound wound machines.
The machine is running as a motor on no-load at its rated voltage and its speed be
adjusted to its rated value using Shunt regulator.
The no-load armature current I

is measured using an ammeter, where as shunt field
current I

L EN D I I N ST I T U T E O F EN G I N EER I N G & T EC H N O L O G Y 6 5
THEORY:
I) Magnetization Characteristics
The magnetization characteristics shows the relation between the no load generated emf
in armature, E
0
and the field (or) exciting current, I
f
at a given fixed speed as shown in
model graph.
These characteristics are also known as the No load saturation characteristics or Open
circuit characteristics. The shape of these characteristics is practically same for all
generators whether separately excited or self excited
Due to the residual magnetism in the poles, some emf is generated even when I
f
= 0
represented by OD**. Hence, the curve starts a little way up.
The slight curvature, DE** at the lower end is due to magnetic inertia. It is seen that the
first part of the curve, EC** is practically straight. This is due to the fact that at low flux
densities, reluctance of iron path being negligible (due to high permeability), total
reluctance is given by the air gap reluctance, which is constant. Hence, the flux and
consequentially the generated emf are directly proportional to the exciting current.
How ever at high flux densities, where is small, iron path reluctance becomes
appreciable and straight relation, CF** between E
o
and I
f
no longer holds good, i.e.,
saturation of poles start.
(** refers to the model graph)
II) Critical resistance
It is that maximum value of the field resistance, above which the machine fails to excite
i.e. there will be no build up of the voltage.
This resistance corresponds to the straight-line position of the magnetization
characteristic because the magnetic circuit does not offer any appreciable reluctance to
the magnetic flux.
III) Critical speed
It is that speed for which the given shunt field resistance will represent critical field
resistance
(OR)
It is that minimum value of the speed of the machine below which the machine
fails to excite .

11. Note down the voltage of the voltmeter which represents the residual voltage of the
generator when SPST switch is in open condition.
12. Close the SPST switch and Excite the field winding D.C.generator in steps by decreasing
its external resistance gradually and note down various corresponding readings of
ammeter and voltmeter till 1.1 to 1.25 times the rated voltage of the generator is reached,

particular power factor is removed keeping the field excitation and speed constant divided by the
rated terminal voltage.
% regulation = (E

-V) / V X100
For small rating machines regulation can be found by direct load where as in the case of
large machines the cost of finding regulation by direct loading becomes expensive. Hence an
indirect method is used for obtaining the regulation of an alternator is Synchronous impedance or
EMF method
In order to calculate the regulation by this method, it requires

VERIFICATION OF SUPERPOSITION
& RECIPROCITY THEOREMS
AIM : To verify Superposition & Reciprocity theorems for the given network.
APPARATUS :
THEORY:-
I. Superposition Theorem Statement:
In a linear network with several independent sources which include equivalent
sources due to initial conditions and linear dependent sources, the overall response in any part
of the network is equal to the sum of the individual responses due to each independent source,
considered separately, with all other independent sources reduced to zero.
Note: 1. The sources which are considered one at a time making all other sources zero,
are the independent sources including sources due to initial conditions only. The dependent
sources are retained as they are in the network.
2. When one independent source is considered & all other independent sources are
reduced to zero means that all the other independent voltage source are replaced with short
circuit and all the other independent current sources are replaced with open circuit. If the sources
contain internal impedances, that sources are replaced by their internal impedances.
II. Reciprocity Theorem Statement:
The Reciprocity theorem states that the ratio of response to excitation is invariant
to an interchange of the position of the excitation and response in a single source network.
However if the excitation is a voltage source, the response should be a current and vice versa.

THEORY:-
I) Thevenins Theorem Statement:
Any combination of linear bilateral circuit elements and active sources, regardless of
the connection or complexity, connected to a given load R
L,
may be replaced by a simple two
terminal network consisting of a single voltage source of V
th
volts and single resistance R
th
in
series with the voltage source, across the two terminals of the load R
L
. The V
th
is the open
circuit voltage measured at the two terminals of interest, with load resistance R
L
removed. This
voltage is also called Thevenins equivalent voltage. The R
th
is the Thevenins equivalent
resistance of the given network as viewed through the open terminals with R
L
removed and all
the active sources are replaced by their internal resistances. If the internal resistances are not
known then independent voltage sources are to be replaced by the short circuit while the
independent current sources must be replaced by open circuit.

II) Nortons Theorem Statement :
Any combination of linear bilateral circuit elements and active sources, regardless of
the connection or complexity, connected to a given load R
L,
can be replaced by a simple two
terminal network, consisting of a single current source of I
N
amperes and a single resistance
R
N
in parallel with it, across the two terminals of the R
L.
The I
N
is the short circuit current
flowing through the short circuited path, replaced instead of R
L
. It is also called Nortons
current. The R
N
is the equivalent resistance of the given network as viewed through the load
terminals, with R
L
removed and all the active sources are replaced by their internal
resistances. If the internal resistances are unknown then the independent voltage sources must
be replaced by short circuit while the independent current sources must be replaced by open
circuit.

THEORY:
A network containing two pairs of terminals is called as two port network. Normally
one pair of terminals coming together to supply power or to withdraw power or to measure the
parameters, are called as port. To achieve simplicity, the whole network is shown with a single
block.
A typical two port network is as shown below in fig (a)
