Experiment No. 2
Theory:
Starting current of IM -
Induction motor we can observe that induction motor consists of two branch circuits which are in
parallel
● Magnetizing component circuit
● Resistance and reactance circuit
Magnetizing components of current flowing through an induction motor is proportional to the
applied voltage and is independent of load on the motor similar to a transformer.
Resistance and leakage reactance circuit consist of resistance and leakage reactance of stator and
rotor of induction motor connected in series. A load resistance (variable) is connected in series to the
fixed rotor and stator impedance. During starting of the motor, slip will be one. Therefore, if we
calculate the total impedance offered (stator and rotor impedance) to the inrush currents during
starting of the induction motor which is minimum resulting in high inrush currents during starting of
the motor.
When 3 phase voltage applied across the stator winding for starting of induction motor, high inrush
currents magnetize the air gap between the stator and rotor. An induced emf is generated in the rotor
windings of the induction motor because of the rotating magnetic field. This induced emf produces
electrical current in rotor windings. Current generated in the rotor windings produces a field which in
turn produces torque to rotate the motor. Once the rotor starts picking up the speed, current drawn by
the machine decreases. The time required for starting the motor depends on the time required for the
acceleration which depends on the nature of the connected load.
Types of starter -
When an electric motor is started, it draws a high current typical 5-6 times greater than normal
current. In DC motors there is no back emf at starting therefore initial current is very high as
compared to the normal current. To protect the motor from these high starting currents we use a star
and delta starter.
The given figure shows the winding connections in star and delta configuration one by one.
In star connection, one end of all three windings is shorted to make star points while the other end of
each winding is connected to the power supply. In delta configuration, the windings are connected
such that to make a close loop. The connection of each winding is shown in the above figure. In the
actual motor the three phase connections are provided in the following order as shown. So, to make
winding connections in star and delta style in a practical motor, the connection is shown above.
Main contractor is used to supply power to the windings. It must be turned on all the time. Initially
the star contactor is closed while delta contactor is open It makes the motor windings in star
configuration.
When the motor gains speed, the star contactor is opened while the delta contactor is closed turning
the motor windings into delta configuration.
PLC Ladder logic - The contactors are controlled by using PLC. This section will explain the ladder
programming for star delta motor starter.
It means that Main contactor will only be energized if the start button is pressed, while stop is not
pressed and the overload relay is not activated. A normally open input named (Q1) is added in
parallel to the start button I1.
By doing so, a push button is created which means that once motor is started, it will be kept started
even if start button is released.
So star contactor will only be energized if the main contactor is ON, time output is not activated and
delta contactor is not energized.
Timer T1:
Timer T1 measures the time after which the winding connection of star delta starter is to be changed.
It will start counting time after the main contactor is energized.
Conclusion:

1. Why we need starter in the Induction Motor.
2. Draw and list the different types of starter.

Experiment No. 3
1) A stepper motor is defined as a digital electromechanical device where each command pulse
results in a movement of the shaft by a discrete angle called step angle of the motor
2) A stepper motor is an electromechanical device which converts electrical pulses into discrete
mechanical movements.
CONSTRUCTION:
Stepper motor construction is quite similar to DC motor. It also has a permanent magnet as
Rotor. Rotor will be in the center and will rotate when force is acts on it. This rotor is surrounded by
a number of stator which is wound by magnetic coil all over it. Stator will be placed as close as
possible to rotor so that magnetic fields in stators can influence rotor’s movement. To control the
stepper motor each stator will be powered one by one alternatively. In this case the stator will
magnetize and act as an electromagnetic pole exerting repulsive force on the rotor and pushes it to
move one step. Alternative magnetizing and demagnetizing of stators will move the rotor step by step
and enable it to rotate with great control. Based on stator, it can be classified into two types. They are
Unipolar and Bipolar stepper motors.
WORKING:
The stepper motor rotor is a permanent magnet, when the current flows through the stator winding,
the stator winding to produce a vector magnetic field. The magnetic field drives the rotor to rotate by
an angle so that the pair of magnetic fields of the rotor and the magnetic field direction of the stator
are consistent. When the stator's vector magnetic field is rotated by an angle, the rotor also rotates
with the magnetic field at an angle. Each time an electrical pulse is input, the motor rotates one
degree further. The angular displacement it outputs is proportional to the number of pulses input and
the speed is proportional to the pulse frequency. Change the order of winding power, the motor will
reverse. Therefore, it can control the rotation of the stepping motor by controlling the number of
pulses, the frequency and the electrical sequence of each phase winding of the motor.
Variable reluctance (VR) motors have a plain iron rotor and operate based on the principle that
minimum reluctance occurs with minimum gap, hence the rotor points are attracted toward the stator
magnet poles.
The stepper motor like variable reluctance is the basic type of motor and it is used for the past many
years. As the name suggests, the rotor’s angular position mainly depends on the magnetic circuit’s
reluctance that can be formed among the teeth of the stator as well as a rotor.
The reluctance torque depends on the square of the phase current and its direction is dependent of the
polarity of the phase current A VR motor can be a single stack or multi-stack motor
ADVANTAGE:
DISADVANTAGE:
The operation of this motor works on the principle that unlike poles attract each other and like poles
repel each other. When the stator windings are excited with a DC supply, it produces magnetic
flux and establishes the North and South poles. Due to the force of attraction and repulsion between
permanent magnet rotor poles and stator poles, the rotor starts moving up to the position for which
pulses are given to the stator.
ADVANTAGE:
1) Low power requirement.
2) High detente torque as compared to VR motor.
3) Rotor do not require external exciting current.
4) It produces more torque per ampere stator current.
DISADVANTAGE:
1) Motor has higher inertia.
2) Slower acceleration.

This motor works similar to that of permanent magnet stepper motor. The figure above shows 2-
phase, 4-pole, 6-tooth rotor hybrid stepper motor. When the phase A-A’ is excited with a DC supply,
keeping B-B’ unexcited, the rotor aligns such that the south pole of the rotor faces north pole of the
stator while north pole of rotor faces south pole of the stator.
Now, if the phase B-B’ is excited, keeping A-A’ switched off in such a way that upper pole becomes
north and lower becomes south, then the rotor will align to a new position by moving through
counterclockwise direction. If the phase B-B’ is oppositely excited such that the upper pole becomes
south and lower becomes north, then the rotor will turn clockwise direction.
By a proper sequence of pulses to the stator, the motor will turn in desired direction. For every
excitation, rotor will get locked into new position, and even if excitation is removed motor still
maintains its locked condition due to the permanent magnet excitation. The step angle of this 2-
phase, 4-pole, 6-tooth rotor motor is given as 360/ (2 × 6) = 30 degrees. In practice, hybrid motors
are constructed with more number of rotor poles in order to get high angular resolution.
ADVANTAGE:
1) Less tendency to resonate
DISADVANTAGE:
1) Higher inertia and weight due to presence of rotor magnet.
2) Performance affected by change in magnetic strength.

Theory: The Synchro is a type of transducer which transforms the angular position of the
shaft into an electric signal. It is used as an error detector and as a rotary position sensor. The
error occurs in the system because of the misalignment of the shaft. The transmitter and the
control transformer are the two main parts of the synchro.
It is general name for self-synchronizing machine which when electrically energized and electrically
interconnected, exert torque which cause two mechanically independent shafts either to run in
synchronism or to make the rotor of one unit follow the rotor position of the others. They are also
known by the trade name of selsyns and autosyns. It is , in fact, are small cylindrical motors varying
in diameter from 1.5 cm to 10 cm depending on their power output. They are low-torque devices and
are widely used in control system for transmitting shaft position information or for making two or
more shafts to run in synchronism. If a large device like a robot arm is to be positioned synchros will
not work. Usually, a servomotor is needed for higher torque.
1. Synchro Transmitter
2. Synchro receiver
The synchro always works with these two parts. The detail explanation of synchro transmitter and
receiver is given below.
Synchro’s Transmitter – Their construction is like the three-phase alternator. The stator of the
synchro is made of steel for reducing the iron losses. The stator is slotted for housing the three phase
windings. The axis of the stator winding is kept 120º apart from each other.
The coils of the stator windings are connected in star. The rotor of the synchros is a dumbbell in
shape, and a concentric coil is wound on it. The AC voltage is applied to the rotor with the help of
slip rings. The constructional feature of the synchros is shown in the figure below.
Consider the voltage is applied to the rotor of the transmitter as shown in the figure above
POWER ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT 2
LAB MANUAL OF INDUSTRIAL ELECTRONICS (3162415) 04/26/2021
The voltage applied to the rotor induces the magnetizing current and an alternating flux along its
axis. The voltage is induced in the stator winding because of the mutual induction between the rotor
and stator flux. The flux linked in the stator winding is equal to the cosine of the angle between the
rotor and stator. The voltage is induced in the stator winding.
Let Vs1, Vs2, Vs3 be the voltages generated in the stator windings S1, S2, and S3 respectively. The
figure below shows the rotor position of the synchro transmitter. The rotor axis makes an angle
The variation in the stator terminal axis concerning the rotor is shown in the figure below.
When the rotor angle becomes zero, the maximum current is produced in the stator windings S2. The
zero position of the rotor is used as a reference for determining the rotor angular position.
The output of the transmitter is given to stator winding of the control transformer which is shown in
the above figure.
The current of the same and magnitude flow through the transmitter and control transformer of the
synchros. Because of the circulating current, the flux is established between the air gap flux of the
control transformer.
The flux axis of the control transformer and the transmitter is aligned in the same position. The
voltage generates by the rotor of control transformer is equal to the cosine of the angle between the
rotors of the transmitter and the controller. The voltage is given as
Where φ – angular displacement between the rotor axes of transmitter and controller.
Φ – 90º the axis between the rotor of transmitter and control transformer is perpendicular to each
other. The above figure shows the zero position of the rotor of transmitter and receiver.
Consider the position of the rotor and the transmitter is changing in the same direction. An angle
θR deflects the rotor of the transmitter and that of the control transformer is kept θC. The total angular
separation between the rotors is Φ = (90º – θR + θC)
The synchro transmitter and the control transformer together used for detecting the error. The voltage
equation shown above is equal to the shaft position of the rotors of control transformer and
transmitter.
The error signal is applied to the differential amplifier which gives input to the servo motor. The gear
of the servo motor rotates the rotor of the control transformer.
The figure above shows the output of the synchro error detector which is a modulated signal. The
modulating wave above shown the misalignment between the rotor position and the carrier wave.

Experiment No. 5
Theory: The phototransistor concept was known for the past many years. The first idea was
proposed by William Shockley in the year 1951, after the discovery of a normal bipolar transistor.
After two years, a phototransistor was demonstrated. After that, it was used in different applications,
and day by day its development was continued. Phototransistors are extensively obtainable with low
cost from the distributors of electronic components to use in different electronic circuits. A
semiconductor device like a phototransistor is used to detect the light levels and changes the flow of
current among emitter & collector terminals based on the light level it gets. This article discusses an
overview of phototransistors.
Phototransistor Symbol
It can convert light energy into electric energy. Phototransistors work in a similar way to
photoresistors commonly known as LDR (light dependent resistor) but can produce both current and
voltage while photoresistors are only capable of producing current due to change in resistance.
Phototransistors are transistors with the base terminal exposed. Instead of sending current into the
base, the photons from striking light activate the transistor. This is because a phototransistor is made
of a bipolar semiconductor and focuses on the energy that is passed through it. These are activated by
light particles and are used in virtually all electronic devices that depend on light in some way. All
silicon photosensors (phototransistors) respond to the entire visible radiation range as well as to
infrared. In fact, all diodes, transistors, Darlington’s, TRIACs, etc. have the same basic radiation
frequency response.
The structure of the phototransistor is specifically optimized for photo applications. Compared to a
normal transistor, a phototransistor has a larger base and collector width and is made using diffusion
or ion implantation.
Construction
A phototransistor is nothing but an ordinary bi-polar transistor in which the base region is exposed
to illumination. It is available in both the P-N-P and N-P-N types having different configurations like
common emitter, common collector, and common base but generally, common
emitter configuration is used. It can also work while the base is made open. Compared to the
conventional transistor it has more base and collector areas.
Ancient phototransistors used single semiconductor materials like silicon and germanium but now a
day’s modern components use materials like gallium and arsenide for high-efficiency levels. The
base is the lead responsible for activating the transistor. It is the gate controller device for the larger
electrical supply. The collector is the positive lead and the larger electrical supply. The emitter is the
negative lead and the outlet for the larger electrical supply.
With no light falling on the device there will be a small current flow due to thermally generated hole-
electron pairs and the output voltage from the circuit will be slightly less than the supply value due to
the voltage drop across the load resistor R. With light falling on the collector-base junction the
current flow increases. With the base connection open circuit, the collector-base current must flow in
the base-emitter circuit, and hence the current flowing is amplified by normal transistor action.
The collector-base junction is very sensitive to light. Its working condition depends upon the
intensity of light. The base current from the incident photons is amplified by the gain of the
transistor, resulting in current gains that range from hundreds to several thousand. A phototransistor
is 50 to 100 times more sensitive than a photodiode with a lower level of noise.
A normal transistor includes an emitter, base, and collector terminals. The collector terminal is
biased positively relating to the emitter terminal & the BE junction is reverse biased.
A phototransistor activates once the light strikes the base terminal & the light triggers the
phototransistor by allowing the configuration of hole-electron pairs as well as the current flow across
the emitter or collector. When the current increases, then it is concentrated as well as changed into
voltage. Generally, a phototransistor doesn’t include a base connection. The base terminal is
disconnected as the light is used to allow the flow of current to supply throughout the phototransistor.
Types of Phototransistor
Phototransistors are classified into two types namely BJT and FET.
BJT Phototransistor
In the deficiency of light, BJT phototransistor allows leakage among collectors as well as an emitter
of 100 nA otherwise low. Once this transistor is exposed to the beam, it performs upto 50mA. This
distinguishes it from photodiode which cannot allow much current.
FET Phototransistor
This kind of phototransistor includes two terminals that connect inside through its collector & emitter
otherwise source & drain within FET. The transistor’s base terminal reacts to light & controls the
current flow among the terminals.
Phototransistor Circuit
A phototransistor works just like a normal transistor, where the base current is multiplied to give the
collector current, except that in a phototransistor, the base current is controlled by the amount of
visible or infrared light where the device only needs 2 pins.
In the simple circuit, assuming that nothing is connected to Vout, the base current controlled by the
amount of light will determine the collector current, which is the current going through the resistor.
Therefore, the voltage at Vout will move high and low based on the amount of light. We can connect
this to an op-amp to boost the signal or directly to an input of a microcontroller.
The output of a phototransistor is dependent upon the wavelength of the incident light. These devices
respond to light over a broad range of wavelengths from the near UV, through the visible, and into
the near IR part of the spectrum. For a given light source illumination level, the output of a
phototransistor is defined by the area of the exposed collector-base junction and the dc current gain
of the transistor.
Phototransistors are available in different configurations like optoisolator, optical switch, retro
sensor. Optoisolator is like a transformer in that the output is electrically isolated from the input. An
object is detected when it enters the gap of the optical switch and blocks the light path between the
emitter and detector. The retro sensor detects the presence of an object by generating light and then
looking for its reflectance off the object to be sensed.
Amplification
The operation range of a phototransistor mainly depends on the applied light intensity because its
operating range is dependent on the input of the base. The current of the base terminal from the
incident photons can be amplified through the transistor’s gain, which results in a current gain that
ranges from 100 to 1000. A phototransistor is more sensitive as compared to a photodiode through a
less noise level.
This is a phototransistor including an emitter output that is connected to the base terminal of the next
bipolar transistor. It gives high sensitivity within the levels of low light as it provides a current gain
that is equivalent to the two transistors. The gain of the two stages can offer net gains higher than
100,000A. A photodarlington transistor includes less response as compared to a normal
phototransistor.
Modes of Operation
In phototransistor circuits, the basic modes of operation include two like active & switch where the
commonly used mode of operation is switch type. It explains a non-linear response toward the light;
once there is no light then there is no flow of current into the transistor. Current starts to supply like
exposure toward light increases. The switch-mode works in an ON/OFF system. Active mode is also
called a linear that reacts in such a way that, it is proportional toward the light stimulus.
Performance Specifications

• Moderately fast response times.
• Available in a wide range of packages including epoxy-coated, transfer-molded, and

• Electrical characteristics were similar to that of signal transistors.
Advantages of Phototransistor
Phototransistors have several important advantages that separate them from another optical sensor
some of them are mentioned below.
• Phototransistors produce a higher current than photodiodes.
• Phototransistors are relatively inexpensive, simple, and small enough to fit several of them
onto a single integrated computer chip.
• Phototransistors are very fast and are capable of providing nearly instantaneous output.
• Phototransistors produce a voltage, that photo-resistors cannot do so.
Disadvantages of Phototransistor
• Phototransistors that are made of silicon are not capable of handling voltages over 1,000
Volts.
• Phototransistors are also more vulnerable to surges and spikes of electricity as well as
electromagnetic energy.
• Phototransistors also do not allow electrons to move as freely as other devices do, such as
electron tubes.
Applications of Phototransistors
• Punch-card readers.
• Security systems
• Encoders – measure speed and direction
• IR detectors photo
• electric controls
• Computer logic circuitry.
• Relays
• Lighting control (highways etc)
• Level indication
• Counting systems
Thus, this is all about an overview of a phototransistor. From the above information finally, we can
conclude that phototransistors are widely used in different electronic devices for detecting light such
as infrared receivers, smoke detectors, lasers, CD players, etc.

Theory: Sound wave is a vibration that is transmitted through a medium, such as air, water, and
metals. Ultrasonic wave is defined as “inaudible sound with high frequency for human” the
frequency of which generally exceeds 20 kHz.
Ultrasonic Wave can be generating by the following methods.
1. Piezo-electric generator.
2. Magneto-striction generator.
•Principle:- When a mechanical compression or tension is applied to some crystals like quartz, a
potential difference is developed across the crystal which is proportional to the applied pressure. This
phenomenon is known as Piezo-electric Effect also if the potential difference is applied across the
crystal, a mechanical compression or tension is developed. This is called Inverse Piezo-electric
Effect.
Circuit Diagram: -
• Working :-
1. When battery is switched on, the oscillator produced high frequency alternating
voltages with a frequency.
2. Due to the transformer action, an Oscillatory e.m.f is induced in the coil L3. This
high frequency alternating voltages are fed on the plates A and B.
3. Inverse piezo-electric effect takes places and the crystal contracts and expands
alternatively.
4. The frequency of the vibration is given by
5. The variable condenser C1 is adjusted such that the frequency of the applied voltage is
equal to the natural frequency of the crystal, and thus resonance takes place.
6. Now the rod vibrates longitudinally with maximum amplitude and generates
ultrasonic waves of high frequency circuit.
• Piezoelectric Effect:-
1. If mechanical pressure is applied to the opposite faces of crystal, equal and opposite
electrical charges appear across its other faces. This is known as piezo-electric effect.
2. Potential Difference developed would be proportional to pressure applied.
3. The converse of piezo-electric effect is also true.

3. The coil L1 wound on the road along with a variable capacitor C1.
4. The frequency of oscillator is controlled by the variable capacitor.
• Working :-
1. When battery is switched on, the collector circuit oscillates with a frequency,
2. This current flowing through the coil L1 produces an alternating magnetic field along the
length of the rod.
3. The frequency of vibration of the rod is given by,
4. The capacitor is adjusted so that the frequency of the oscillatory circuit is equal to natural
frequency of the rod and thus resonance takes place.
5. Now the rod vibrates longitudinally with maximum amplitude and generates ultrasonic
waves of high frequency from its ends.

POWER ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT 3
LAB MANUAL OF INDUSTRIAL ELECTRONICS (3162415) 04/26/2021
1. When a ferromagnetic rod like iron or nickel is placed in a magnetic field parallel to its
length, the rod experiences a small change in its length. This is called Magnetostriction
Effect.
2. The change in length produced in the rod depends upon the strength of the magnetic
field, the nature of the material and is independent of the direction of the magnetic field
applied.
• Advantages :-
1. The design of this oscillator is very simple and it’s production cost is low.
2. At low ultrasonic frequencies, the large power output can be produced without the risk of
damage of the oscillatory circuit.

3000KHZ (i.e. 3MHZ).
2. The frequency of oscillations depends on temperature.
3. There will be losses of energy due to hysteresis and eddy current.

Isolation like this is useful in high voltage applications where the potentials of two circuits may differ
by several thousand volts.
The ideal isolation scheme should only allow signal flow in one direction, should respond to DC
levels, and should offer an extremely large resistance between the input and output Circuits. These
features are available in a class of optoelectronic devices Called optocouplers.
The optocoupler is a device that contains an infra-red LED and a photodetector (such as a
Photodiode, phototransistor, Darlington pair, SCR, or triac) combined in one package.
➢ Optocoupler Characteristics: -
Like discrete semiconductor device characteristics, optocoupler characteristics are set of curves that
relate the voltage and current flowing through it. In an optocoupler we see two discrete devices,
namely the diode at the input side and a photo transistor at the output side.
By drawing the individual characteristics curves one can identify the type of diode and photo
detector used inside the IC. The input diode will have the input forward voltage (IF) which depends
on its material. For example, a silicon diode has 0.6V forward voltage and LEDs of different colors
will have different forward voltages varying from 1V to 4V. Once the forward voltage and the
wavelength are known, the semiconductor material can be identified. On the output side we have a
photo transistor. The material of the photo transistor can be identified by its saturation voltage.
Hence by the characteristics curves the material used in the optocoupler can be identified. Typical
IC/IF characteristics of a simple optocoupler at various values of output-transistor collector
voltage (VC).
The most convenient way of specifying optocoupling efficiency is to quote the output-to-input
Current Transfer Ratio (CTR) of the device, i.e., the ratio of the output collector current (IC) of the
phototransistor, to the forward current (IF) of the LED. Thus, CTR = IC/IF. In practice, CTR may be
expressed as a simple figure such as 0.5, or (by multiplying this figure by 100) as a percentage figure
such as 50%.
The Current Transfer Ratio (CTR) is an electrical parameter usually specified for an optocoupler.
CTR is defined as the ratio of the output collector current (IC) caused by the light detected by the
photodiode to the forward LED input current (IF) that generates the light and is denoted as a
percentage.
CTR=(IC/IF)×100 (%)
The Current Transfer Ratio (CTR) varies from 10% to 200% for devices of different makes. An
optocoupler with 50% CTR is found to be extremely good in practice. As the light intensity
increases, the collector current increases proportionately and becomes constant.
Conclusion:
Quiz:
1. Define Optocoupler.
2. Draw and Explain output Characteristics of Optocoupler.
3. Define Current Transfer Ration and explain its significance in Optocoupler.

Theory: A voltage stabilizer stabilizes or regulates the voltage if the supply voltage varies or
fluctuates over a given range.
In India, we have a large power distribution system with heavy distribution losses and variations in
industrial/ domestic load. This results in voltage variations that may damage electrical/ electronic
appliances like light, fan, television, mixer-grinder, air-conditioner, heater, water pump, toaster, etc.
Here, we describe how to make a solid-state voltage stabilizer that does not use electro-mechanical
relays and is suitable for most purposes. It is an electrical appliance that feeds constant voltage to a
load during over and under voltage conditions. This device detects these voltage conditions and
correspondingly brings the voltage to desired range. Voltage stabilizers provide a means to regulate
the supply voltage to the load. These are not meant to provide a constant voltage output; instead, it
operates the load or system in an acceptable range of voltage. Stabilizers consume very less power,
typically about 2 to 5% of maximum load (i.e., rating of stabilizer). These are high efficiency
devices, typically 95 to 98%.
➢ In case of lighting equipment, low voltage drop reduces the lumen output (illumination) that
will further reduce the life of the lamp.
➢ AC motor produces less torque and hence the speed under low voltage, and they produce
more speed than desired during overvoltage. This degrades motor life and causes insulation
damage under high voltages.
➢ In case of induction heating, low voltage reduces heat output which causes the load to operate
at inappropriate temperatures than desired.
➢ In TV and radio transmission, voltage drop will reduce the quality of transmission and also
cause the malfunction of other electronic components.
➢ Refrigerators are AC motor driven appliances that draw large currents during voltage drop
conditions which may lead to overheating of windings.
➢ To overcome above mentioned effects of voltage variations, voltage stabilizers are needed.
The circuit diagram of a solid-state voltage stabiliser is shown in Fig.2. The heart of the stabiliser is
IC1 (LM3914) bar display driver. It is used as LED type bar graph voltmeter with lower voltage and
upper voltage settings through presets VR1 and VR2. IC1 senses mains voltage. The difference
between the lower voltage and upper voltage is divided into 10 steps. every LED indicates one step
or one voltage level and is lit depending on the level of voltage received.
All the 10 outputs of IC1 that are used to lit the LEDs are also fed as inputs to dual
decoder/demultiplexer CD4556. CD4556 is used for converting analogue voltage to digital steps to
ensure that, at a given time, only one tapping of mains transformer gets input supply voltage from
mains. In all conditions only one step can be active as per analogue input voltage.
Assume the first condition when the mains voltage is less than the lower set value. All the output
pins (1, 18, 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10) of IC1 will be high. IC3(A) will be disabled and no step
will be selected (means low volt 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10) of IC1 will be high. IC3(A) will be
disabled and no step will be selected (means low voltage cut-off).
Circuit operation:
As the mains voltage increases to more than the lower set value, LED1 of the bar graph voltmeter
glows as pin1 of IC1 is low and all other outputs pins are high. In this condition IC2(A) is enabled
because input E (pin 1) is low. As inputs A0 and A1 of IC2(A) are high, out put Q3 goes low. This is
step 1 of step charger.
When voltage increases, input A0 of IC2(A) goes low and its output Q2 also goes low. This is Step 2
of step changer.
Both these outputs are combined with 1N4148 diodes and given to cathode pin of internal LED of
IC7 (MOC3011). As internal LED of IC7 glows, TRIAC1 conducts and provides AC mains to
tapping ‘A’ of mains transformer X2.
When voltage increases further, both inputs A0 and A1 of IC2(A) go low, while both of its outputs
go high , and TRIAC1 goes off. Input A1 and output Q2 of IC2(A) generate enable input E for
IC2(B) with the help of set and reset input pins (S and R) of flip-flop IC5(A) (CD4013). Pin 1 of
IC5(A) provides low signal to enable input E of IC2(B) and output Q3 of IC2(B) goes low. This is
Step 3 of step changer. Similarly, other conditions work in the same manner (see Table).
The number of tappings for transformer X2 and the number of solid-stat relays to be used depend on
the voltage range to be covered. If the minimum voltage can drop to 100 volts and the maximum
could rise to 300 volts, we need to cover 200 volts deviation. This can be managed either through ten
tappings with 20V difference or just five tappings with 40V difference between each.
Advantages
➢ They regulate the voltage levels in various types of equipment. They are used in houses,
construction buildings, commercial malls and complexes etc.
➢ They protect such equipment from any kind of voltage issues. They assure 100% safety to
industrial machinery and household appliances.
➢ The voltage stabilizers allow limited usage of the power as required for the devices.
Disadvantages
➢ Moving parts requiring restricted maintenance.
➢ Lower speed of response compared with solid state designs.
Application
➢ Air conditioners
➢ LCD/LED TV
➢ Refrigerators
➢ Music systems
➢ Washing machines
➢ And also available as a single large unit for all appliances.

Need for the UPS system for protection against common Power Problem:
A variety of design approaches are used to implement UPS systems, each with distinct
performance characteristics. The most common design approaches are as follows: *
Standby
* Line Interactive
* Standby on-line hybrid
* Standby-Ferro
* Double Conversion On-Line
* Delta Conversion On-Line
Offline UPS :
NO Break UPS
In this type of UPS, double conversion method is used. Here, first the AC input
is converted into DC by rectifying process for storing it in the rechargeable battery.
This DC is converted into AC by the process of inversion and given to the load or
equipment which it is connected (figure 2). This type of UPS is used where electrical
isolation is mandatory. This system is a bit more costly due to the design of constantly
running converters and cooling systems. Here, the rectifier which is powered with the
normal AC current is directly driving the inverter. Hence it is also known as Double
conversion UPS. The block diagram is shown below.
When there is any power failure, the rectifier have no role in the circuit and
the steady power stored in the batteries which is connected to the inverter is given to
the load by means of transfer switch. Once the power is restored, the rectifier begins
to charge the batteries. To prevent the batteries from overheating due to the high-
power rectifier, the charging current is limited. During a main power breakdown, this
UPS system operates with zero transfer time. The reason is that the backup source
acts as a primary source and not the main AC input. But the presence of inrush
current and large load step current can result in a transfer time of about 4-6
milliseconds in this system. The following table shows some of the characteristics of
the various UPS types. Some attributes of a UPS, like efficiency, are dictated by the
choice of UPS type.
Application of UPS
1. Data Centers
2. Industries
3. Telecommunications
4. Hospitals
5. Banks and insurance
6. Some special projects (events)
7. ICU
8. Chemical’s plant

Experiment No. 10
Theory: Eddy current proximity sensors are used to detect non-magnetic but conductive materials.
They comprise of a coil, an oscillator, a detector, and a triggering circuit. Figure 2.3.1 shows the
construction of eddy current proximity switch. When an alternating current is passed thru this coil, an
alternative magnetic field is generated. If a metal object comes in the close proximity of the coil, then
eddy currents are induced in the object due to the magnetic field. These eddy currents create their
own magnetic field which distorts the magnetic field responsible for their generation. As a result,
impedance of the coil changes and so the amplitude of alternating current. This can be used to trigger
a switch at some pre-determined level of change in current. Eddy current sensors are relatively
inexpensive, available in small in size, highly reliable and have high sensitivity for small
displacements.
Applications of eddy current proximity sensors • Automation requiring precise location • Machine
tool monitoring • Final assembly of precision equipment such as disk drives • Measuring the
dynamics of a continuously moving target, such as a vibrating element, • Drive shaft monitoring •
Vibration measurements.
Inductive proximity switches are basically used for detection of metallic objects. Figure 2.3.2 shows
the construction of inductive proximity switch. An inductive proximity sensor has four components;
the coil, oscillator, detection circuit and output circuit. An alternating current is supplied to the coil
which generates a magnetic field. When, a metal object comes closer to the end of the coil,
inductance of the coil changes. This is continuously monitored by a circuit which triggers a switch
when a preset value of inductance change is occurred.
Optical encoders provide digital output as a result of linear / angular displacement. These are widely
used in the Servo motors to measure the rotation of shafts. Figure 2.3.3 shows the construction of an
optical encoder. It comprises of a disc with three concentric tracks of equally spaced holes. Three
light sensors are employed to detect the light passing thru the holes. These sensors produce electric
pulses which give the angular displacement of the mechanical element e.g. shaft on which the
Optical encoder is mounted. The inner track has just one hole which is used locate the ‘home’
position of the disc. The holes on the middle track offset from the holes of the outer track by one-half
of the width of the hole. This arrangement provides the direction of rotation to be determined. When
the disc rotates in clockwise direction, the pulses in the outer track lead those in the inner; in counter
clockwise direction they lag behind. The resolution can be determined by the number of holes on
disc. With 100 holes in one revolution, the resolution would be, 360⁰/100 = 3.6⁰.
Figure 2.3.5 shows several configurations of contact-type proximity switch being used in
manufacturing automation. These are small electrical switches which require physical contact and a
small operating force to close the contacts. They are basically employed on conveyor systems to
detect the presence of an item on the conveyor belt.
Magnet based Reed switches are used as proximity switches. When a magnet attached to an object
brought close to the switch, the magnetic reeds attract to each other and close the switch contacts. A
schematic is shown in Figure 2.3.6.
Photo emitting devices such as Light emitting diodes (LEDs) and photosensitive devices such as
photo diodes and photo transistors are used in combination to work as proximity sensing devices.
Figure 2.3.7 shows two typical arrangements of LEDs and photo diodes to detect the objects
breaking the beam and reflecting light
