Electric Machines Circuit LaFor Mechanical Engineers Lab

Course Objectives
(‫)اهداف المادة‬:  This lab introduces experiments on all types of DC and AC
machines and transformers. This includes Induction, Synchronous
three-phase machines, single-phase induction machines and
special purpose machines. As well as the analysis and calculations
required for each experiment (voltage regulation, current, torque
and efficiency)

The objective of this course is to cover experimentally all

experiments on:
-The single phase and three phase transformers, Auto transforms,
special transformers.
-DC Machines: Motors and Generators.
-Synchronous Generators; Principles and construction, equivalent
circuit, tests, power, torque and efficiency.
-Synchronous motors; Principles and construction, starting,
equivalent circuit, power expression and parallel operation of
alternators big dividends in the future—whether you are using
circuits or
not.
Course Outcomes 1. Good understanding of transformer action, in addition to its
(‫)مخرجات المادة‬: operations and measurements.
2. Knowing the constructions of different DC Machines.
3. Developing an understanding of types and construction,
operation and measurements of real three-phase ac machine: the
equivalent circuit of induction and synchronous machines, speed
control, torque, power, and applications.
4. Understanding Generators and motors operations.
5. Knowing about Universal Motor and single-phase induction
motor constructions, operations and measurements, in addition
to their speed control.
6. Predicting, verifying the laboratory results and Writing a
complete technical reports.
