INTRODUCTION
OBJECTIVES OF THE LABORATORY COURSE :
A course on Laboratory Experiments on electrical Science is offered to the students
keeping in view the following objectives.
1. To provide hands on practical exposure.
2. To provide experience in working on various types of Electrical Machines,
Instruments and other accessories.
3. To enforce theoretical instructions with related practical work.
4. To get training in Technical Report Writing.

PRESENT PROBLEM:
It is difficult during any Engineering course under the present setup, to
arrange practical and related theory in an integrated manner so as to simultaneously
correlate practical work with the theory teaching. For this, theory lectures have to be
followed by the related practical simultaneously and all the students need to perform
the same experiments at the same time over what just has been covered in the theory.
Owing to the large number of students, it is not possible to arrange for the practical
work this way. It becomes necessary to ask the student to work in groups and perform
experiments by rotation. The student has to quite often, perform the experiments for
which the theory shall be taught in the classroom at a much later date. Students have
to come to the laboratory completely unprepared as they have neither been taught the
related theory nor been given any instruction about the experiment to be performed.
This Manual has been prepared essentially keeping this difficulty in mind.
Brief theory for each Experiment is given in such a manner that even if the student
has not studied the theory related to the experiment, one can have sufficient
information to perform the experiment and sufficiently understand it.
This Manual consists of a set of apparatus prepared for different experiments.
For each experiment, table for apparatus is given separately. Observations should be
recorded in the tabular form. Students shall draw a neat Circuit diagram with

description of the equipment ranges, type of instrument (AC /DC ) and type of supply.
All the summary calculations, results, graphs shall be recorded by the students.

PREFACE
This manual of Electrical Engineering Laboratory has been specifically designed for
the second Year B. Tech 4th semester course in Electrical Engineering/Electrical And
Electronics Engineering with the objective to provide the students, brief guidelines on
the experiment to be performed in the laboratory. This manual contains some features
on the basis of experience to cover the difficulties and problems associated in general,
with the laboratory work. Detailed instructions for carrying out each experiment
along with relevant theory has been presented.
The Department Faculty hopes that the students will find this manual helpful in
performing the experiments in Electrical & Instrumentation Engineering Laboratory.
Thanks to all the department faculty members and also non teaching staff members
for their support help in preparation of this manual.
We are grateful to Dr. Ashish Shrivastava , Professor and Head of Electrical
Engineering Department and also Dr. (Prof.) K. Kamal Principal - JSSATE, Noida
who not only encouraged us to prepare the manual but also rendered their best help
and advice.

DOS AND DONTS FOR PREVENTION OF ACCIDENTS

1.

The Laboratory regulations are to be followed meticulously, for prevention of

accidents and for organized and systematic working of the Laboratory.

2.

The arrangement and assembly of the equipment required for the experiments
including alteration and the change of connections are subject to the approval of
the concerned faculty member.

3.

Bare wires, terminals and parts of the machinery are not to be touched unless
power supply is switched off.

4.

Power Supply must be switched off before making any change in connections.

5.

All participants in the experiment shall keep out of the danger zone before the
circuit and machines are switched on.

6.

In the event of abnormal noise or fumes, mains should be switched off

immediately, and informed to the concerned faculty member immediately.

7.

The students shall under no circumstances switch on the power supply until the
circuit is checked by the concerned faculty member.

8.

The participants in the experiments are working in groups. Every student shall
remain in the place assigned to him/her. The group as a whole shall be
responsible that the laboratory regulations are strictly observed.

9.

The machines and equipments required for the experiments shall be handed
over to the students by the laboratory store keeper and retuned by the students
after the completion of experiment. if any damage to the equipment takes place
and students should bring to the notice of faculty member in-charge
immediately.

10. Every student shall study the written instructions carefully, before the start of
the experiment and make sure that they are fully understood. After this only
they will be permitted to perform the experiment.
11. Every participant must report to the concerned faculty member after the
conduction of experiment.

12.

All the students should complete the calculations and plot the necessary graph
and get corrected from concerned faculty member before leaving the laboratory
class

12. Laboratory Record should be submitted in the next laboratory class. Late
submission of Laboratory Record will not at all be entertained.
13. The report on a laboratory experiment consists of brief theory, circuit diagram,
records of the test data, calculations and their interpretation in addition to
answers to the questions. The report should be concise and complete.
14. The following pattern of report writing is generally considered as suitable for
laboratory classes.

15. All students shall come in a dress code / uniform with shoes (for protection
against the electrical shock) for performing experiments in Electrical laboratory.
Especially female students shall avoid bangles with metallic linings, sarees, loose
dupattas etc.,
16. The student should not bring cell phone to theory / laboratory class.

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
1. All the specification of the machines and equipments used in the experiments
should be noted.

2. Suitable type of wires should be used for different parts of the circuits. Flexible
wires are to be used for connecting voltmeter and pressure coil of wattmeter
because current is negligible. Thicker wire of different cross sections should be
used for current carrying circuit.

3. Tighten all connections properly.

4. Check zero setting of the meters.
