Explaination :
In this lab, we learnt about different equipments like reactive power controller 745 0911 has
four switching outputs with which the capacitor blocks of the capacitor bank 745095 can be
switched. It has two different operating modes (manual and automatic) which are preselected
with BR 6000 touch panel on the unit. Universal Multifunction Meter (727 230)
This unit allows parameter measurement of 3 or 4 wire, balanced, 3-phase systems. The
parameter include voltage, current, power factor, watts, KVA, KVAR, KW, kWh etc . Three-
Phase Supply Unit with FCCB (726 75). This training panel is part of the modular TPS training
panel system and permits the tree-phase power supply of experiment setups. Control Unit for
Magnetic Powder Brake (732 55) It delivers the current to the magnetic power brake either in
open loop or closed loop control. It is used to control up to 1 kW machines. Here brake current is
controlled throng the break knob. Magnetic Powder Brake (732 54) In can be coupled with the
induction motor as a variable load and controlled through the control unit (732 55). Switchable
Capacitor Battery (745 095) The switchable capacitor battery 745 095 is used in the 3-phase
network to absorb inductive reactive power. The capacitor battery contains 4 switching blocks
which can be combined in 16 different ways, providing a different total capacitance in each case.
Squirrel Cage Motor 230/400 V 1.0 Machine with one shaft end is insulated built on an
aluminium base with glides. The machine is to be operated on the machine bench. Excitation
Voltage Controller (745 021) Adjustable power supply with smoothed current and voltage for
 .
supplying power to a synchronous machine in the power class 0.3 kW or 1.0 kW. Synchronous
Machine SC 1.0 (733 07) The synchronous machine is the heart of the experiments. It is of a
four-pole design with non-salient pole core rotor and damper winding.
Pendulum Machine 1.0/2.0 (732 68) The pendulum machine is DC shunt wound machine with
integrated torque recording which can be used in generator operation or in drive operation as
drive machine with torque measurement. Control Unit for Pendulum Machine 1.0/2.0 (732
695) The control unit serves to supply voltage to the exciter winding and armature winding of the
pendulum machine. Resistive Load 1.0 (733 10) The load is designed for three-phase and
consists of three variable resistors R = 0 - 1000 Ω each containing a series resistor R = 22 Ω. The
series resistors can be loaded to a maximum 2.5 A and are correspondingly protected. Inductive
Load 0.1/0.3/1.0 (732 42) This component is also designed as a three-phase load and consists of
three individual inductances with taps. The following values can be tapped. Capacitive Load
(733 11)
This load is also three-phase and consists of three discrete groups of capacitors. Moving Iron
Meter (727 32) This is a moving iron ammeter with a front frame spanning 144 x 144 mm. The
equipment class is 1.5 with measurement range of 0 -2.5 A. Single and Three Phase
Measurements (68-100) This module is capable of measuring voltage, current, power, power
factor, watts, KVA, KVAR and KWH etc. on 3 to 4 wire, balanced/unbalanced 3-phase systems

Critical Analysis and Conclusion:

In the First lab , we do need to know about saftey precausion because Safety is always over first
priority. We also know about different types of equipments .
The first lab was an introductory lab. In this lab we were given introduction to the trainer and
different types of equipment used in the labs like. We were also given safety instructions related to
this lab that we should always be careful. In this lab we analysis don’t allow to do work with
direct main power supply .first we have to learn all though & precaution about the procedure then
allow to do work on it.
