REQURIMENT/EQUIPMENTS:


THEORY:
Most of the D.C. motors in servo applications are of separately excited
type. The output of D.C. amplifier can be connected to either field terminals or to the
armature terminals of the motor. When the field is energized by the amplifier signal,
the motor is said to be field controlled and if the armature is supplied by the
amplifier, it is said to be armature controlled.

Transfer function of any system in general is a ration of Laplace
transform of the output to the input with all initial conditions zero. It can be a pure
numeric having no units or may be real or complex and may have unit depending upon
the choice of input and output quantities. In the most simplified form, an open loop
system can be described as shown in figure below:
G(s)
R(s) C(s)
1 2

Figure 2.3- Block Diagram of control system
Where the number 1 and 2 represent the input and output nodes, R(s) - input and C(s)
-output. (The arrow represents the direction of signal flow.)
The transfer function of such a system is G(s), defined by following relation:
G(s) =
C(s)
R(s)

In more complicated closed loop systems, there will be one or more than on
nodes in addition to the input and output nodes as well as feedback loops. The
solution of overall transfer function can be found out by applying basic signal flow
algebra or Massions Gain formula. The signal flow technique forms an essential part
of a feedback system and therefore necessitates the determinations of the transfer
function.
In this experiment we shall determine the transfer function of an armature
controlled D.C. motor. (See figure 2.2)

PRE EXPERIMENTAL QUESTIONS:
1. What is the moment of inertia? On what physical parameters does it depend?
2. What do you understand by polar moment of inertia?
3. Can the retardation test be conducted under load condition, comment?
4. In retardation test will the time required for the speed to drop increase or
decrease when fly wheel is removed from the motor shaft?

1. Determination of K:
From equation (1), K is defined as
K =
induced emf /field current
speed of the machine

Make the connection as shown in figure 2.8, run the machine as a generator at
constant speed and note down the voltage induced voltage for the different values of
the field current. Plot these values of voltage against the field current which will give
the magnetization characteristics of the machine (figure 2.5). From this, determine the
value of K.

THEORY:
Induction motors, as they are widely used on account of their low cost, reduced
maintenance and robust construction or a very important class of electrical machines.
Mechanical characteristics of the motors fully define their use to various types of
loads. The load torque variation and the developed torque variation define the point
of operation.
The torque in an induction machine can be formulated in different ways as shown
below

The above equation defines the torque slip characteristics.
The torque as it is proportional to the rotor input is calculated from the rotor input
less than stator losses, speed being measured at each load. The load on the induction
motor is put indirectly by putting n electrical load on the d-c generator coupled to it.
The difference between the synchronous speed and rotor speed can be expressed as a
percentage of synchronous speed, known as the slip.
=


s = slip, Ns = synchronous speed (rpm), Nr = rotor speed (rpm)
At no-load, the slip is nearly zero (<0.1%).
At full load, the slip for large motors rarely exceeds 0.5%, for small motors at full
load, it rarely exceeds 5%.
The slip is 100% for locked rotor.
The frequency induced in the rotor depends on the slip:

PROCEDURE:
Connect the electrical circuit as shown in the circuit diagram.
Start the motor after inserting the full rotor resistance in the circuit.
Note down the power input, current and speed at various loads measure the
stator resistance per phase. (0.81 per phase).
Open circuit the rotor and switch the supply on to the stator. The power gives
approximately the core losses in rotor and stator both (like the open circuit Test
of transformer). Assuming it to be equally divided, find the stator iron loss.
Calculate the torque from power input to the motor that is the copper and
stator loss in the stator, and also slip from the observer values of the
corresponding speed.

REQUIREMENTS:


EQUIPMENTS:


THEORY:
The use of electric drive for low power constant speed apparatus such as small tools,
domestic apparatus, and agricultural machinery in circumstances where three phase supply is
not available has led to a large demand for single phase induction motors in size ranging from
a fraction of HP up to about 5h.p. It is therefore up to extremely useful to predetermine the
performance characteristics of the motor. This can be done by deducing equivalent circuit of
the motor.

Equivalent circuit is the representation of the actual motor by fictitious elements forming a
simple electrical network. Equivalent circuit so obtained is capable of giving the performance
characteristics of the motor under various operating conditions obtained.
The equivalent circuit can be determined by performing (a) Light running test (b) Blocked
rotor test (c) DC measurement of stator resistance.
PRE-EXPERIMENTAL QUIZ:
1. Why single phase motors are not self-starting?
2. What are the different methods of starting single phase Induction motor?
3. Why is the resultant forward flux stronger than the backward flux in a single phase
induction motor at all speeds?
4. What is centrifugal switch?
5. What are the theories used for the analysis of single phase motors? Indicate basic
differences?

PROCEDURE:
Connect up the circuit as shown. Perform light running test at rated voltage. Note down the
current and the power input.
Perform the blocked rotor test on the motor applying a reduced voltage to the main
winding so that rated current flow through it, for this test insulate the starting winding at the

be assumed constant for other normal operating values of slip. Why?

OBJECTIVES:-
To determine the performance characteristics of a 3-phase induction generator as
a) Grid connected induction generator
b) Isolated(self-excited) induction generator
Conduct power generation test on grid connected induction generator and for self-
excited induction generator and draw
1) Efficiency vs. power
2) Power factor vs. power
3) Stator current vs. power
4) The speed vs. power curves at rated voltage and frequency

MOTIVATION:-
Over the past few decades, there has been an increasing use of squirrel cage type
induction generators, particularly in wind energy conversion systems and micro-hydro
power systems. The grid provides frequency and voltage regulation, as well as the
reactive power required by the generator. Their advantages in these applications are
that they are rugged, require less maintenance, high power/weight ratio and self short
circuit protection and cheap. It is not essential to operate precisely at synchronous
speed.

THEORY:-
The set up mainly consists of an I.M coupled with D.C.M. The three phase supply is
given to the starter of the I.M it will start working as a motor as it is coupled with the
Department of Electrical Engineering, SGSITS, Indore

28
SGSITS-Machines Lab
Electrical Machines-III (EE-4201)

D.C.M it starts working as generator. Now with the help of a voltmeter, measure the
voltage and check the polarity of the generated emf. Its value is made equal to the dc
supply available.
Now the D.C.M is connected with the supply and it starts running as a motor. At an
instant the induction machine and the D.C.M will run as motors. They drive each other
now the I.M crosses its synchronous speed and starts generating power to the grid and
it draws reactive power from the grid.
Induction machine in both of its motoring mode and generating mode draws reactive
power for the shunt branch. Now if we remove the grid from the machine it will stop
generating the power. As the machine is not having the reactive power supply. So by
removing the grid and giving the external reactive power to I.M will make machine to
generate power and this mode of operation is termed as self excited mode of
operation and machine is called self excited machine.

EQUIPMENTS AND COMPONENTS:-
(a) A three phase squirrel cage induction motor coupled with separately excited dc
motor
(b) One AC Ammeter (0-5/10A)
(c) One AC Voltmeter (0-500V)
(d) Two Low pf wattmeter (600V,10A)

OBJECT: To determine the equivalent circuit parameters and also perform the routine
test and type test for three phase induction motors as per ISS i.e. IS 325:1996
APPRATUS REQUIRED:

SPECIFICATIONS:

THEORY:-
To know the performance of an induction motor the motor is translated in terms of an
electrical/circuit where the power output etc are represented by the dissipation in
some fictitious element in the circuit which is called the equivalent circuit.
The equivalent circuit can be determined by performing:-
(a) Light running (No load) test
(b) Blocked rotor test and
(c) d-c measurement of the stator resistance.

LIGHT RUN TEST
The no load test on an induction motor gives information with respect to
exciting current and no-load losses. The test is performed at rated frequency and
balanced poly-phase voltages applied to the stator terminals. Readings are taken at
the rated voltage, after the motor runs long enough for bearings to be properly
lubricated.

Electrical Machines-III (EE-4201)


At no load, the rotor current is only the very small value needed to produce sufficient
torque to overcome the friction and windage losses associated with rotation. The no-
load rotor I
2
R loss is, therefore, negligibly small. Unlike the continuous magnetic core
in a transformer, the magnetizing path in an induction motor includes an air gap which
significantly increases the required exciting current. Thus, in contrast to the case of a
transformer, whose no-load primary I
2
R loss is negligible, the no-load stator I
2
R loss
of an induction motor may be appreciable because of this larger exciting current.
Neglecting rotor I
2
R losses, the rotational loss P
rot
for normal running conditions can be
found by subtracting the stator I
2
R losses from the no-load input power.
P = constant losses + cu losses
Constant losses=mech. Losses + core loss
Cu losses =..
Mechanical losses can be separated by graphical method as given below

BLOCKED ROTOR TEST:-
Like the short-circuit test on a transformer, the Blocked-Rotor test on an induction
motor gives information with respect to the leakage impedances. The rotor is blocked
so that it cannot rotate (hence the slip is equal to unity), and balanced polyphase
voltages are applied to the stator terminals.


In some cases, the blocked-rotor torque also is measured. The equivalent circuit
for blocked-rotor conditions is identical to that of a short circuited transformer. An
induction motor is more complicated than a transformer, however, because its
leakage impedance may be affected by magnetic saturation of the leakage-flux paths
and by rotor frequency.
The blocked-rotor impedance may also be affected by rotor position, although this
effect generally is small with squirrel-cage rotors. The guiding principle is that the
blocked-rotor test should be performed under conditions for which the current and
rotor frequency are approximately the same as those in the machine at the operating
condition for which the performance is later to be calculated. For example, if one is
interested in the characteristics at slips near unity, as in starting, the blocked-rotor
test should be taken at normal frequency and with currents near the values
Department of Electrical Engineering, SGSITS, Indore

36

Electrical Machines-III (EE-4201)

encountered in starting. If, however, one is interested in normal running
characteristics, the blocked-rotor test should be taken at a reduced voltage which
results in approximately rated current; the frequency also should be reduced, since
the values of rotor effective resistance and leakage inductance at the low rotor
frequencies corresponding to small slips may differ appreciably from their values at
normal frequency, particularly with double-cage or deep-bar rotors. The total leakage
reactance at normal frequency can be obtained from this test value by considering the
reactance to be proportional to frequency. The effects of frequency often are
negligible for normal motors of less than 25-hp rating, and the blocked impedance can
then be measured directly at normal frequency. The importance of maintaining test
currents near their rated value stems from the fact that these leakage reactances are
significantly affected by saturation. Based upon blocked-rotor measurements, the
blocked-rotor reactance can be found from the blocked-rotor reactive power

PRECAUTION:-
In Blocked rotor test we must apply reduced voltage (10-12% of v rated) so that the
rated current could flow.

PROCEDURE:-
Connect up the circuit as shown. Perform light running test at the rated voltage. Note
down the power input and the current.
Apply a reduced voltage across the motor so that approximately the rated current
flows through the circuit.
Measure the dc value of the resistance.

1. INTRODUCTION

The classical way of teaching electrical machinery theory to undergraduates to start
off with the DC machines and finish with the elementary principles of operation of
single phase motors, covering the transformer, the synchronous machine, the
induction machine and the AC commutator motors. Mostly the steady state
operation of these machines is dealt with and the transient operation is either
completely omitted or confined to the synchronous machine. With the result the
student is left with the impression that each type of electrical machine is a class by
itself having nothing in common with other types of electrical machines.
Kron pointed out 32years ago that all electrical machines can be mathematically
reduced to a basic two axis machine. Further work by Gibbs, Adkins, White and
Woodson and others created interest among the academic circles in the generalized
theory of electrical machines as a possible method of teaching electrical machinery
theory. The important requirement in adopting the new method is to provide the
physical meaning for the various mathematical transformations employed and to
physically show that the different types of electrical machines are simply different
terminal conditions of one and the same physical phenomenon pertaining to the
primitive machine of Kron. It is primary function of the generalized
electromechanical energy converter (GEMC) to meet this requirement. After the
advert of the GEMEC more interest is now being shown in India and abroad, in the
teaching of generalized theory of electrical machines to undergraduates.
The GEMEC is as yet a newcomer to them market and these are only a handful of
manufactures in the whole world who make such machines. The PSG industrial
institute, India is one of those few. It is not sufficient for GEMEC to operate only as a
primitive two axis machine. It must also be able to physically simulate the various
mathematical transformations used in the generalized theory and consequently be
able to operate as a primitive two axis machine and as various type of machines as
many types as possible consistent worth the manufacturing possibilities, size, cost,
utility etc. The GEMEC made by PSG industrial institute provides facilities for such
transformations. This manual gives a description of GEMEC manufactured by the PSG
Industrial Institute. Some of the possible modes of operation, erection and
maintenance instructions and connection diagrams and performance characteristics
for certain modes of operation. The modes of operation listed in this manual are
some of the possibilities and many other modes can be devised by the user, taking
care that the current ratings are within limits as specified under technical data. The
machine is so designed as to give maximum accessibility for demonstration and
maintenance purposes.

2. DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINE

The stator of the machine has 48slots accommodating 4coils of 12 slot pitch. All the
coil ends are brought out to terminals arranged in four concentric circles on a
terminal board for easy connection. The terminals are numbered and coils indicated.
This enables the stator to be connected for different number of poles and phases.
Single search conductors are provided in six suitably chosen stator slots so that
search coils are provided in six suitable chosen stator slots so that search coils of
various pitches can be arranged.
The rotor has 36 slots accommodating a double layer closed lap winding with a coil
pitch of 8 slots. The winding is provided with a 144 segment commutator on one side
and slip ring tapings on the other side. There are two sets of slip rings tappings:
One set of six symmetrical tappings and another of four.
Two of the tapping being common to the two set. All the eight tappings are brought
to the slip rings. A rotor search coil whose terminals are brought to two more slip
rings is also provided.
The commutator is equipped with a set of rocking brushed and a set of rotating
brushes. The rocking brush set is arranged on two rings, each ring carrying 6brushes,
equally spaced along the periphery.
The rings can be rocked opposite to one another by bevel gear and the whole set can
be rocked relative to the stator winding. Locking arrangement is provided for each of
the movements. Graduated scales indicate the position of the set as a whole and the
angular displacement between the two rings. The rotating brush set consists of four
brushes arranged in quadrature and can be driven round the commutator in either
direction by an external drive. The shaft extension for coupling this external drive is
arranged to be co-axial with the main shaft of the PSG GEMEC but independent of
the same. The rotating brush set can also be locked in any desired position.
Diagrammatic representation of the rocking brush set and the rotating brush set
with terminals is provided on the panel board. Connections from the rotating brush
set are brought through slip rings terminals on the panel board. Leads from the
rocking brushes are brought to terminals on the brush carriage and these could be
connected, when required, to the corresponding terminals. Diagrammatic
representation by flexible leads provided.
A short circuiting ring, which can be easily fitted on to the commutator, is provided.
When so short circuited, the rotor behaves like a semi cage winding, responding to
the various pole numbers that can be produced by the stator winding.

The nominal rating of the PSG GEMEC as a #-phase, 50 Hz, 4 pole, slip ring induction
motor is 5.5KW at 230V per phase. The machine will however withstand appreciable
overloads.
A DC work machine coupled to the main shaft and a variable speed drive motor for
rotating brushes would be required for normal use of PSG GEMEC. It is preferable to
mount the DC work machine on trunnion bearings so that it could be used also as a
swinging frame dynamometer. If desired, a shaft torque meter, a tachometer. And
an accelerometer may also be added which would increase the versatility of the
machine as a research unit.

4. INSULATION AND MAINTENANCE
Normally PSG GEMEC is supplied separately as shown in the cover photograph and in
a sectional view. Because of improvements made from time to time the actual
machine supplied may vary to some extent from these illustrations and descriptions.
For the use of the machine it must be coupled to a drive motor of about 6.5KW
rating and a brush drive motor of 1KW rating with speed control as desired. Care
must be taken in coupling the three machines as any misalignment can damage the
bearings of PSG GEMEC. All the commutator brushes are locked in position before
dispatching. The rotating brushes can be released by unscrewing two radial screws
on the outer cover. The rocking brushes can be released by unscrewing the knurled
head screw follow the operating instructions and in any case. Do not exceed any of
the ratings of the machine. The commutator and slip rings should be cleaned
periodically. The bearings must be cleaned and lubricated with lithium soap based
grease.

OPERATION

GENERAL

Some of the modes in which the machine can be operated and the corresponding
ratings are listed in appendix 1 and the connection diagrams and some of the
operating characteristics in the form of graphs are given in appendix2. Other modes
of operation like the induction generator, synchronous converter etc are possible
and many more modes can be devised by the user. In all cases the following points
may be noted:
1. Any of the ratings specified should not be exceeded.
2. Commuatator brushes when not in use must be lifted and the carriage locked in
position

INDUCTION MACHINES
Since the entire stator coil terminals are brought out, the stator can be connected
for various numbers of poles and 2 or 3 phase operation, the rotor may either be
short circuited through the slip rings or the commutator may be short circuited.
When the stator is connected for other pole numbers, the commutator has to be
short circuited. The machine can also be operated as 2 or 4 pole, or 2 or 3-phase
rotor fed induction machine.
The stator can also be connected for various types of single phase operation.


SYNCHRONOUS MACHINES
It can be operated either as rotating armature or rotating field synchronous machine
of different pole and phase combinations. However, it is not possible to introduce
the effects of saliency, but by introducing symmetry in the field circuit, it is possible
to introduce a difference in the reactance of the tow axes. It can be operated as a
Department of Electrical Engineering, SGSITS, Indore

51
SGSITS-Machines Lab
Electrical Machines-III (EE-4201)

synchronous converter by supplying the machine through a suitable transformer
bank and by making use of the commutator.

AC COMMUTATOR MACHINES
The machine can be very easily connected as a polyphase 2pole or 4pole shunt
commutator motor. When connecting the 2-phase operation, it will be necessary to
use the rotating brush set, locking it a definite position. An autotransformer may be
used to provide controlled voltage to the brushes. With this arrangement, the
machine can operate also as a frequency converter.
It is possible to operate the machine as a rotor fed synchronous motor as a Schrage
motor at reduced voltage. Taking care not exceed the current rating of the stator
conductor the machine can also be operated as a series commutator motor.
Various modes of single phase operation, such as repulsion motor, repulsion start
induction motor can also be arranged.

DC MACHINES
PSG GEMEC can be operated as a shunt, series, compound or separately excited DC
machine of different pole numbers. When operating for poles other than 2 or 4, care
must be taken to carefully set and lock the rocking and rotating brush sets and to
choose the proper brushes. It is also possible to use the machine as a DC
transformer, a Rosenberg Generator etc. however, it is not possible to introduce
saliency.

UNCONVENTIONAL MODES
Operation of the so called DC induction motor can be demonstrated by supplying
direct current to the quadrature brushes and then rotating these by means of the
brush carriage rotor.
Department of Electrical Engineering, SGSITS, Indore

52
SGSITS-Machines Lab
Electrical Machines-III (EE-4201)

Many other unconventional modes of operation may be devised by the user. One
such mode of operation developed in the PSG laboratory by Charlu results in a
variable speed adjustable PF motors. (Trans A.I.E.E., P.A.S., Vol. 78, 1959, PP 407-
413)

LIMITATIONS
The coil pitch of the stator coils as 12 slots corresponding to the full pitch for 4 pole
operation. This has been chosen so that at least for 1 pole number the winding is full
pitched. This choice makes it impossible for the machine to operate as an 8pole
machine.
Another is the uniform air gap. It is not possible to introduce physical saliency
normally met with the DC machines and in some synchronous machines. As has
already been suggested this effect can be simulated to some extent by the use of
asymmetrical connections in the excitation circuit.

One important feature of PSG GEMEC as already pointed out, is that it can be used
as a physical model to demonstrate the mathematical transformation of a particular
machine to the generalized machine or of one machine to another. Particular mode
of operation are simulated in PSG GEMEC by connecting same active conductors in
different ways and joining them to terminals via solid leads, slip rings or commutator
and fixed or rotating brushes. Each mode of operation is distinguished by its two
components field pattern stator and rotor field. A field pattern can be setup by the
different components arrangements, current and voltage. Therefore currents,
voltages and impedance of 1 type of winding (and hence machine) can be
transformed to those of another taking into account the invariance of power.

OBJECT: To separate the no load losses of a D.C. shunt machine.
SPECIFICATIONS OF THE D.C. MACHINE:


REQURIMENT/EQUIPMENTS:




THEORY AND PROCEDURE:
The mechanical losses (no load) of a D.C. shunt machine can be separated into
hysteresis, eddy current, friction and windage losses by the method given below:
W
nl
= Wcore + Wfriction
and windage
= (W
hysterisis +
W
eddy current
) + Wbrush
friction +
Wbearing
friction +
Wwindage

Now, W

Therefore at constant excitation, the total core losses are

Also,

Bearing friction loss is small as compared to the other two losses (i.e. W
brush friction
and
W
windage
) and can be neglected.
The total friction and windage losses are
= (K
f
N + K

N

)
Thus the total mechanical loss can expressed as
W
nl
= (K
h
N + K

) + (K
f
N + K
w
N
2
)
= (K
h
+ K
f
).N + (K
e
+ K
w
) ..(1)
Separation of loss therefore requires the determination of four constants K
h
, K
e
, K
f
and K
w
.
Let C = K
h
+ K
f
and D = K
e
+ K
w
..(2)
So W
nl
= C.N + D.N
2

Or W
nl
/N = C + D.N ..(3)
This is a straight line equation. Hence C and D can be determined by observing W
nl

for different values of N and then plotting (W
nl
/N) against N on a graph (with I
f
constant).
Determination of C and D will not be sufficient to calculate all four constant.
Therefore, repeat the above test and perform at some other value of field current. The core
loss constants will change to some other values. Hence
C = K
h
+ K
f
and D = K
e
+ K
w
..(4)
Since hysteresis loss and eddy current loss is proportional to B
1.6
and B
2
respectively, so
(K
h
/K
h
) = (B/B)
1.6
= (E/E)
1.6
& (K
e
/K
e
) = (B/B)

= (E/E)

..(5)
So, C = (E/E)
1.6
K
h
+ K
f
and D = (E/E)

K
e
+ K
f
..(6)
Now all four constants can be calculated from the equation excitation constant (2) and (6).
Make the connection as shown in the circuit diagram. Keeping excitation constant,
for all observation, note down the voltage and armature current at different speed of
motor. Speed variation should be obtained by varying the voltage across the armature.
Repeat the same procedure with some other value of excitation. Measure the armature
resistance.
