PROCEDURE

EXPERIMENT 3

PROCEDURE
1. Procedure of all makes sure that the earthing of your laboratory is proper and it is
connected to the terminal provided to back side of panel.
2. Make sure that supply as well as the MCB is at ‘Off’ position.
3. Make the connections as shown in fig. 23.
4. If all the connections are right then switch On the supply as well as the MCB of
panel and vary the voltage with the help of single phase autotransformer to obtain
number of readings.
5. Record the values of ammeter, voltmeter, and wattmeter connected in the circuit .
6. Switch ‘off’ the supply.
EXPERIMENT 5

PROCEDURE
1) First of all make sure that the earthing of your laboratory is proper and it is
connected to the terminal provided to the back side of panel.
2) Make sure that the Supply as well as Single Phase MCB is at 'OIT position.
3) Make the connections as shown above in fig. 27.
4) Make sure the autotransformer is in zero position.
5) Set the required value of "T" in any one of the two balances.
6) Now switch 'ON' the mains supply as well as the MCB of panel and vary the
voltage with the help of single phase autotransformer (optional) to obtain number
of readings.
7) You will observe that the motor starts and running.
8) Make sure that the belt is loose so that the motor can run on normal speed freely.
9) As the machine starts running, values of "T" in the spring balances changes to T,
and T2 in 1st and 2nd balances respectively.
10) Now if the reading of first spring balance is T1 and that of second one is T2 then
the overall torque will be T = T1 T2. Record this T in the Observation table with
the corresponding speed. Which is same asset value before starting motor.
11) Increase the load and take no. of readings of speed (N) and torque (T).(See
reference table given before experiments for maximum permissible current for
different machines rating
12) Draw a graph between these two parameters, this graph is nothing but a speed
torque characteristic or the load characteristic of Single Phase Induction Motor.
13) Switch 'Off the supply.
