TITLE:
Determine the outputs of two D.C. machines from their physical dimensions.

THEORY:
The formula for calculation of output of DC machine is :
Output = (π2 x Bav x ac x 10-3) D2 x L x n
Where: Bav = specific magnetic loading; ac = specific current loading; D = diameter;
L= Core length; n = speed

PROCEDURE:
1. Measure the following dimensions of the two DC machines.
Machine D (m) L (m) n (rps) No. of slots Slot space Area of
S factor Sf slot As

2. Take Bav= 0.6 Wb/m2 ; & δ = 5.0 A/mm2

CALCULATIONS & RESUTS

1. Derivation of relationship, ac = (δ x Sf x As x S)/ (π x D), starting from the basic definition
of ac, i.e. ac = IZ Z / π D

2. Output of Machine A:

3. Output of Machine B:

TITLE:
Develop a fact sheet to show how to obtain the most efficient motor at the lowest price

THEORY
Efficiency is an important factor to consider when buying or rewinding an electrical motor.
Following are the frequently asked questions that help to make the correct decision.

QUESTIONS

1. Why is improving motor efficiency important?

2. What is an energy-efficient motor?

3. What efficiency values should I use when comparing motor?

4. When should I consider buying an energy-efficient motor?

5. When is an energy-efficient motor cost effective? Give the relation ships for “ Annual
Energy Saving” & Simple Payback”.

6. Should I rewind a failed motor?

7. What design factors should I consider when choosing a new motor?

TITLE:
Study the types of Standard Explosion Protection Enclosures for electrical equipment.

THEORY:
Various types of enclosures for electrical machines and other electrical equipment are used to
prevent electrical apparatus from igniting the surrounding atmosphere when energized.

TYPES OF EXPLOSION PROTECTION:

Define the following terms as per Standards:
1. Flameproof Enclosures- Ex protection type ‘d’

2. Increased Safety – Ex protection type ‘e’

3. Intrinsic Safety – Ex protection type ‘ i’

4. Pressurized or Purged – Ex protection type ‘p’

5. Oil Immersion – Ex protection type ‘o’

6. Powder Filled – Ex protection type ‘q’

5 EMTD-WORKBOOK
7. Non-Sparking and Restricted Breathing – Ex protection type ‘n’

8. Special Protection – Ex protection type ‘S’

9.Moulded/Encapsulated – Ex protection type ‘m’

 Experiment No. 4
TITLE:
Design of Electrical Equipment for Hazardous Areas- Hazardous Area classification in North
America.

THEORY:
Hazardous areas are locations where the potential for fire or explosion exists because of gases, dust
or easily ignitable fibers in the atmosphere. In North America, Hazardous Areas are separated by
classes, divisions and groups to define the level of safety required for equipment installed in these
locations.
Classes define the general form of materials in the atmosphere.
Divisions define the possibility of the presence of flammable materials.
Groups classify the exact flammable nature of the material.

CLASSIFICATIONS:
Study and complete the following tables:

TITLE:
Design of Electrical Equipment for Hazardous Areas- Hazardous Area classification in Europe.

THEORY:
Hazardous areas are locations where the potential for fire or explosion exists because of gases, dust
or easily ignitable fibers in the atmosphere. In Europe and countries outside North America,
classification of hazardous area is different and is follows;
Zones are used to define the probability of presence of flammable materials.
Protection Types denote the level of safety for the device. (Ref. Experiment No. 3).
Groups classify the exact flammable nature of the material. These groups are different than
American groups.
Temperature Identifications convey the maximum surface of the apparatus based on 40 oC
ambient.

CLASSIFICATIONS:

TITLE:
Design of Transformer–Methods of cooling of Transformers

THEORY:
There are a number of methods for cooling of transformers. The large number of methods used
for dissipation of heat generated in transformers makes it necessary to use a concise standard
designation for them.

Description of cooling methods:

1. Cooling Mediums (Coolants)

Complete the following table:

Medium Air Gas Synthetic Mineral Oil Solid Water

2. Circulation of cooling medium:

Describe the two ways of circulation of coolants for dry type and oil immersed transformers
and give the symbols.
