Electric Machines 4A Practical 2 instruction set

General remarks:
Page limit: 15 pages
MUST BE DONE IN GROUPS OF 2 IN THE CASE OF AN ODD NUMBER OF
PEOPLE IN THE CLASS, I EXPECT TO SEE A SINGLE REPORT WITH ONE
PERSONS NAME ON THE REPORT!
No photographs allowed in the report diagrams only!
References from reputable peer-reviewed sources only!
Submission date: See calendar
HINT: THIS PRACTICAL WILL TAKE A LOT OF TIME GET STARTED AS SOON
AS YOU ARE GIVEN RESULTS!
Specific remarks: (DO NOT LIST THESE AS SPECIFIC QUESTIONS IN YOUR REPORT)

You need to include a detailed electrical diagram and description of the wiring of the
induction machine.
At the top of your cover page, list your group number, as per the signup sheet. If
your name doesnt appear on the signup sheet or you did not add your name, you
are automatically placed in Group 4.
List the results for the blocked-rotor and open-circuit test (from given results).
Explain the no-load and blocked-rotor tests. Why do we perform these tests?
Explain the Two-Wattmeter method. You should explain why we use two wattmeters
instead of three individual wattmeters. Justify whether the wattmeter displays threephase power or power per phase and why either one is correct.
Calculate the equivalent circuit parameters for the induction machine.
You will need to draw a circle diagram. Consult the additional material on Edulink.
o IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU INDICATE YOUR SCALE ON THE
CIRCLE DIAGRAM SO THAT YOUR RESULTS CAN BE EVALUATED.
Explain what a circle diagram is, and what it is used for. Typically, it was used for
three-phase transformers. Explain why the circle diagram can be used for both
three-phase induction machines and three-phase transformers.
List a table of the machine ratings. This will be used for comparison with your circle
diagram. You must at all times indicate whether a voltage/current is line-to-line or
line-to-neutral.
List a table preceding your circle diagram indicating ALL the induction machine
parameters as per the circle diagram evaluation.
Draw a phasor diagram for the induction machine.

Penalties:

Late submission = 20% per day


No circle diagram = FAIL THE PRACTICAL
Incorrect references = 30% (see general remarks above)
Exceeding the page limit = 20% per page
o In the page limit, the Cover, table of contents, list of tables/figures, and
appendix are not included.

BEST OF LUCK!!
