THEORY:
I) Magnetization Characteristics
The magnetization characteristics shows the relation between the no load generated emf
in armature, E0 and the field (or) exciting current, If 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 If = 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 m is small, iron path reluctance becomes
appreciable and straight relation, CF** between Eo and If 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.
PROCEDURE:
1. Connect the circuit as per the circuit diagram.

3. Switch on the D.C. Motor to 220V D.C. Supply by closing the DPST Switch.
4. Start the D.C. motor using the three point starter and thereby adjust the speed of it to the rated
speed of the D.C. Generator using field method of speed control.
5. Note down the voltage of the voltmeter which represents the residual voltage of the generator
when SPST switch is in open condition.
6. 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

SWINBURNE’S TEST:-
It is a simple method in which losses are measured separately and from their knowledge,
efficiency at any load can be pre-determined in advance. The onlyrunning test needed is
a no load test.
Swinburne s test is applicable to those machines in which flux is practically constant i.e.
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 Iao is measured using an ammeter, where as shunt field
current Ish is given by another ammeter. The no-load input current is given by
Io = Iao + Ish
Let the supply voltage be V volts
No-load input = V Io watts
Power input to armature = V Iao watts
Power input to shunt = V Ish watts
No-load input supplies Copper losses (Armature & Field), Iron losses (Hysteresis &
Eddy current) & Mechanical losses ( Friction losses & Windage).
Constant losses = No load input power - Armature copper losses
Wc = V Io – Iao² Ra watts.
Predetermination of efficiency of a motor at any load
Input = V IL watts. Rated value IL = 12A
Armature Cu losses = Ia 2 Ra
Constant losses = Wc
Total losses = Wc + ( IL - Ish)² Ra
Efficiency = (Input - Total losses) / (Input)

Predetermination of efficiency of a generator at any load
Output = V IL watts.
Armature Cu losses = Ia 2 Ra
Constant losses = Wc
Total losses = Wc + ( IL + Ish)² Ra
Efficiency = (Output) / (Output + Total losses)
ɳ (Efficiency)x = (x Output) / (x output+ Wc + ( x IL + Ish)² Ra)

THEORY:
It is a simple method of testing low rating DC machines and consists of applying a brake
to a water-cooled drum mounted on the motor shaft.
The four important characteristics curves of a D.C. Shunt Motor, namely, Torque, Speed,
Armature Current & efficiency, each plotted against the useful Power, as shown in the
model graph are known as Performance characteristics
A belt is wound round the brake drum and its two ends are attached to two spring
balances S1 & S2. The tension of the belt can be adjusted with the help of swivels.
The force acting tangentially on the drum is equal to the difference between the readings
of the two spring balances the readings of Spring balances 1& 2 in Kg.f.
Shaft torque, T developed by the motor is 9.81 (S1 S2) R Nm where, R is the radius of
the pulley in meters & N is the speed in rpm
Useful Output Power = (2𝜋𝑁𝑇)/60 Watts
Input Power = V IL Watts, where IL = (Ia + Ish)
% Efficiency , = (Output power / Input power) x 100.
𝑁0 −𝑁𝑠
Speed Regulation = [ (No Load speed ) - ( Full load speed )] / Full Load. Speed = 𝑁𝑠
The size of the motor that can be tested by this method is limited from the consideration
of the heat that can be dissipated at the brake drum
Where the output power exceeds about 2 H.P., or where the test is of long duration, it s
necessary to use a water cooled brake drum.
PROCEDURE:
1. Connect the circuit as per the Circuit diagram.
2. Initially the starter must be in off position.
3. Switch on the D.C. Motor to 220V D.C. Supply by closing the DPST Switch.
4. Start the D.C. motor using the three point starter and thereby adjust the speed to its rated speed
using field rheostat.
5. Note down the readings of Voltmeter & Ammeters in Table under No Load condition.
6. Apply the Load on the drum gradually in steps by tightening the belt around it. At each step,
note down the readings of the Ammeters, Voltmeter, two Spring balances and the Tachometer.
7. Pour water in the pulley and cool it often when the motor is loaded.
8. When the full load is reached, slowly reduce the load and switch off the Motor from 220V
