Task (Report for part 1 and 2 combined):

1. Observation:
(i). Write about the technic used in this lab. (Example: technic used to measure the
voltage, current, torque, etc)

1. A single-phase induction motor is placed together with a magnetic powder brake


unit and a brake controller. using a coupling to incorporate a single-phase induction
motor into a magnetic powder brake unit. The base of the machine is locked with
delta screws to keep it secure. A coupling guard and shaft end guard are installed.
The brake controller is electrically connected to the magnetic powder brake unit
using the supplied cable.

2. Before using the brake controller and the magnetic powder brake unit, ensure
calibration of the torque display to 0kg-m by adjusting the zero-adjuster knob before
using the brake controller.

3. Sequentially, turn on the brake controller, magnetic powder brake unit, 3-p current
limit protection switch, and three-phase power supply module. The motor is
turned on immediately. The centrifugal switch has been activated.

4. Set the output torque to 0 kg-m and operate the brake controller in the Mode
Closed Loop Constant Torque mode. If the controller isn't working properly, press
the RESET button to restart it. If heavy brake torque has locked the rotor, release
the brakes by pressing the ESC or BACK button.

5. Measure and record the values of the motor power P, motor current I, power factor
cos, and motor speed N displayed by the Digital Power Analysis Meter in Table 1-
1 using the Digital Power Analysis Meter.

6. Release the brakes by manipulating the Brake Controller. That is, press the ESC
or BACK button on the Brake Controller to release the braking.

7. The step is repeated for another torque setting. The motor current is ensured not to
exceed 130% of the rated value.

8. Turn off the Three-phase Power Supply, the 3-P Current Limit Protection Switch
Modules, the Magnetic Powder Brake Unit, and the Brake Controller in that order.
(ii) Draw the schematic of the circuit connection complete with label.

A) Split-Phase Winding

B) Capacitor Start-Capacitor Run Motors

graph)

2. Discussion and Conclusion:

DISCUSSION

Based on table 1, shows the measured values used to determine the values of P (W), I
(A), Cos θ and N (rpm). As we can see from the value of P (W), watts recorded an
increasing value. It started from 125 W, 193 W, 249 W, 305 W, and 377 W. Then, the
ampere value also showed an increasing value, that is, 0.630 A, 0.647 A, 0.682 A, 0.732
A and 0.801A. The value of cos θ exhibits an ascending value is, 0.306, 0.461, 0.562,
0.658, and the highest value becomes 0.728. However, unlike the rpm value, value
shows a decrease starting from 1488, 1477, 1462, 1451, and finally to 1432.

The measured values used to determine the values of P (W), I (A), Cos θ, and N (rpm)
are shown in table 1-1. Watts have been increasing in value, as evidenced by the value
of P (W). It began at 117 W, 211 W, 288 W, 349 W, and 392 W. The ampere value
increased as well, with values of 0.323 A, 0.405 A, 0.509 A, 0.582 A, and 0.648 A. The
value of cos θ shows an ascending trend, with values of 0.561, 0.801, 0.893, 0.925, and
0.938 as the highest. Unlike the rpm value, however, the value decreases from 1490 to
1473, 1452, 1443, and finally 1430.
CONCLUSION
All in all, I was able to learn about characteristic of single-phase induction motor. The
first is about, be able to demonstrate the torque-speed characteristic of single-phase.
Then, split-phase induction motor starting and running with capacitor. Next, torque-
speed characteristics of induction motors provide information on how mechanical
torque is affected by motor speed. There is a term for this type of characteristic called
the torque-slip characteristic, which refers to how fast something is moving in relation
to how fast everything else is moving. And finally, it's a split-phase induction motor
with induction start/run capability. Although it is quite limited, it is probably the easiest
single-phase motor to make for industrial use. It also has two windings, one for the
starting winding and the other for the main winding. In phase difference motors, a
switching mechanism is also employed. When the motor reaches about 75% of its rated
speed, it acts as a breaker for the starting winding of the main winding.
