SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING BASIC ELECTRICAL AND
ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING

Preface
Engineering institutions have been modernizing and updating their curriculum to keep pace with the
continuously developing technological trends so as to meet the correspondingly changing educational
demands of the industry. As the years passed by, multi-disciplinary education system also has become
more and more relevant in the present global industrial development. Thus, just as Computer Systems
& Applications, Basic Electrical & Electronics Engineering also has become an integral part of all
the industrial and engineering sectors be it infrastructure, power generation, minor & major Industries,
Industrial Safety or process industries where automation has become an inherent part. Accordingly,
several universities have been bringing in a significant change in their graduate programs of
engineering starting from the first year to meet the needs of these important industrial sectors to
enhance the employability of their graduates. Thus, at college entry level itself Basic Electrical &
Electronics Engineering has become the first Multidisciplinary core engineering subject for almost
all the other core engineering branches like Computer Engineering, Civil, Mechanical, Production
engineering, Industrial Engineering, Aeronautical, Instrumentation and Control Systems. As a further
impetus, since for understanding of this subject a practical knowledge is equally important, a hands
on session course is also added in the curriculum. The experiments are so chosen that the student
comprehends all the important theoretical concepts with good practical insight.

This handbook of manual cum observation for Basic Electrical and Electronics Engineering is
brought out in a simple and lucid manner highlighting the important underlying concepts &
objectives along with sequential steps to conduct the experiment. Every experiment is further
provided with format of test results and most importantly the safety precautions to be taken.

sessions. Please be careful with these (and all other) measuring instruments. A voltmeter is designed to
measure the voltage between any two points in a circuit, when the circuit is energized. If the voltage to
be measured is V12 = V1− V2, then the black probe is placed on node 2 (corresponding to V2) and the
red probe is placed on node 1 (corresponding to V 1). Since the voltmeter is placed in parallel with a part
of the circuit it potentially can disrupt circuit operation. Ideally, a voltmeter’s resistance is infinite in
which case there would be no change in circuit operation.

1.Switching Fuse Unit (SFU):


It has one switch unit and one fuse unit. When we operate the breaker, the contacts will get
close through switch and then the supply will pass through the fuse unit to the output.

cables from damage due to fluctuations. This fuse unit is housed in an enclosure made using quality

2. MCBS or Miniature Circuit Breakers:

Now-a-days we use more commonly miniature circuit breaker or MCB in low voltage electrical
network instead of fuse. The MCB has some advantages compared to fuse. It automatically switches off
the electrical circuit during abnormal condition of the network means in over load condition as well as
faulty condition.

MCBs are electromechanical devices which protect an electrical circuit from an over current. The
over current, in an electrical circuit, may result from short circuit, overload or faulty design. An MCB is
a better alternative to a Fuse since it does not require replacement once an overload is detected. Unlike
fuse, an MCB can be easily reset and thus offers improved operational safety and greater convenience
without incurring large operating cost. The principal of operation is simple. An MCB functions by
interrupting the continuity of electrical flow through the circuit once a fault is detected. In simple terms
MCB is a switch which automatically turns off when the current flowing through it passes the
maximum allowable limit.

There are two contacts one is fixed and the other moveable. When the current exceeds the
predefined limit a solenoid forces the moveable contact to open and the MCB turns off thereby stopping
the current to flow in the circuit. In order to restart the flow of current the MCB is manually turned on.
This mechanism is used to protect from the faults arising due to over current or overload.
To protect against fault arising due to over heating or increase in temperature a bi-metallic strip is
used. MCBs are generally designed to trip within 2.5 millisecond when an over current fault arises. In
case of temperature rise or over heating it may take 2 seconds to 2 minutes for the MCB to trip.

3. Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker :

If any current leaks from any electrical installation, there must-be any insulation failure in the
electrical circuit, it must be properly detected and prevented otherwise there may be a high chance of
electrical shock if-anyone touches the installation. ELCB detects the earth leakage current and makes
the power supply off by opening the associated circuit breaker. There are two types of earth leakage
circuit breaker, one is voltage ELCB and other is current ELCB.

www.mallareddyuniversity.ac.in 9
SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING BASIC ELECTRICAL AND
ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING

I. Voltage ELCB:
The working principle of Voltage ELCB is quite simple. One terminal of the relay coil is
connected to the metal body of the equipment to be protected against earth leakage and other terminal is
connected to the earth directly. If any insulation failure occurs or live phase wire touches the metal
body, of the equipment, there must be a voltage difference appears across the terminal of the coil
connected to the equipment body and earth.

This voltage difference produces a current to flow the relay coil. If the voltage difference
crosses, a predetermined limit, the current through the relay becomes sufficient to actuate the relay for
tripping the associated circuit breaker to disconnect the power supply to the equipment. The typicality
of this device is, it can detect and protect only that equipment or installation with which it is attached. It
cannot detect any leakage of insulation in other installation of the system.

Fig.3: Voltage ELCB

www.mallareddyuniversity.ac.in 10
SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING BASIC ELECTRICAL AND
ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING

II. Current ELCB :

Actually, ELCBs are of two kinds, but it is general practice to refer voltage based ELCB as
simple ELCB. And current based ELCB is referred as residual current device (RCD) or RCCB. Here
one CT core is energized from both phase wise and neutral wire. Current ELCB consists of a 3-winding
transformer, which has two primary windings and 1 secondary winding.
Neutral and line wire act as the two primary windings. During balanced condition current
through the secondary winding is zero. Normal (Balanced) condition – the flux due to current
through the phase wire will be neutralizing the current through the neutral wire. Current is same for line
and neutral. Fault (Unbalanced) condition – flux produced in the secondary winding (Line current not
equal-= neutral current). This induces the current through the secondary winding. This is connected to
the sensing circuit. This will sense the leakage and send a signal to the tripping system and trips the
contact.

Fig.4: Current ELCB

2.Molded Case Circuit Breaker:

A MCCB is a type of electrical protection device that can be used for a wide range of voltages,
and frequencies of both 50 Hz and 60Hz.The main distinctions between MCCB and MCB are that the
MCCB can have current ratings that range from 15 A to 2,500 amperes, and its trip settings are
normally adjustable. An additional difference is that MCCBs tend to be much larger than MCBs.
MCCB has three main functions:
 Protection against overload – currents above the rated value that last longer than what is
normal for the application.

www.mallareddyuniversity.ac.in 11
SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING BASIC ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS ENGI

 Protection against electrical faults – During a fault such as a short circuit or line fault,
there are extremely high currents that must be interrupted immediately.
 Switchingacircuitonandoff–Thisisalesscommonfunctionofcircuitbreakers, but they can
be used for that purpose if there isn’t an adequate manual switch.

Operating Mechanism:
Overloadprotectionisaccomplishedbymeansofathermalmechanism.MCCBs have a bimetallic
contact what expands and contracts in response to changes in temperature. Under normal operating
conditions, the contact allows electric current through the MCCB. However, as soon as the current
exceeds the adjusted trip value, the contact will start to heat and expand until the circuit
isinterrupted.Thethermalprotectionagainstoverloadisdesignedwithatimedelaytoallowshort duration over
current, which is a normal part of operation for many devices. However, any over current conditions
that last more than what is normally expected represent an overload, and the MCCB is tripped to protect
the equipment and personnel.

3. Earthing:
Themainreasonfordoingearthinginelectricalnetworkisforthesafety.Whenallmetallic parts in
electrical equipment are grounded then if the insulation inside the equipment fails there are no
dangerous voltages present in the equipment case. If the live wire touches the grounded case then the
circuit is effectively shorted and fuse will immediately blow. When the fuse is blown then the
dangerous voltages are away.

Purpose of Earthing
1. Safety for Human life / Building/Equipment
2. Over voltage protection
3. Voltage stabilization
Conventional methods of earthing
1. Plate type Earthing
2. Pipe type Earthing

Grounding or Earthing :
To connect the metallic (conductive) Parts of an Electric appliance is called Earthing or Grounding.
1. Earthing through a Galvanized iron (G.I.) Pipe:
• Pipe earthing is best form of earthing, It is cheap
• GI pipe used as an earth electrode.
• The size of the pipe depends upon the current to be carried and the type of soil in which the earth
electrode is buried.

2. Earthing through a plate:


GI or copper plate is used as an earth electrode.

Fig.6: GI pipe earthing

If a GI plate is used it shall be of dimensions 0.3m × 0.3 m and 6.35 mm thick and if a copper
plate is used it shall be a dimension 0.3m × 0.3 m and 3.2 mm thick. The plate is buried to a depth of
not less than 2 m in as moist a place as possible preferably in close proximity of water tap and at least
0.6 m away from all the building foundations. The plate shall be completely covered by 80 mm of
charcoal with the layer of common salt 30 mm all around it, keeping the face of the vertical. The
charcoal and salt decreases the earth resistance.

Theory of DC And AC Machines:

A) Construction of Single phase Induction motor:

Like any other electrical motor asynchronous motor also have two main parts namely rotor and stator.
Stator:
As its name indicates stator is a stationary part of induction motor. A single phase AC supply is given
to the stator of single phase induction motor.

Rotor:
The rotor is a rotating part of an induction motor. The rotor connects the mechanical load
through the shaft. The rotor in the single-phase induction motor is of squirrel cage rotor type. The
construction of single phase induction motor is almost similar to the squirrel cage three-phase
induction motor. But in case of a single phase induction motor, the stator has two windings instead of
one three-phase winding in three phase induction motor.

17
SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING BASIC ELECTRICAL AND
ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING

Fig.5: Cut section of Single phase capacitor start induction motor.

Stator of Single Phase Induction Motor:

The stator of the single-phase induction motor has laminated stamping to reduce eddy current
losses on its periphery. The slots are provided on its stamping to carry stator or main winding.
Stampings are made up of silicon steel to reduce the hysteresis losses.
When we apply a single phase AC supply to the stator winding, the magnetic field gets
produced, and the motor rotates at speed slightly less than the synchronous speed Ns. Synchronous
speed Ns is given by

Where,
f = supply voltage frequency,
P = No. of poles of the
motor.
The construction of the stator of the single-phase induction motor is similar to that of three
phase induction motor except there are two dissimilarities in the winding part of the single phase
induction motor.

1. Firstly, the single-phase induction motors are mostly provided with concentric coils. We can
easily adjust the number of turns per coil can with the help of concentric coils. The mmf
distribution is almost sinusoidal.
2. Except for shaded pole motor, the asynchronous motor has two stator windings namely the main
winding and the auxiliary winding. These two windings are placed in space quadrature to each
other.

www.mallareddyuniversity.ac.in 18
SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING BASIC ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS ENGI

Rotor of Single Phase Induction Motor:

The construction of the rotor of the single-phase induction motor is similar to the squirrel cage
three-phase induction motor. The rotor is cylindrical and has slots all over its periphery. The slots are
not made parallel to each other but are a little bit skewed as the skewing prevents magnetic locking of
stator and rotor teeth and makes the working of induction motor more smooth and quieter.
The squirrel cage rotor consists of aluminum, brass or copper bars. These aluminum or copper
bars are called rotor conductors and placed in the slots on the periphery of the rotor. The copper or
aluminum rings permanently short the rotor conductors called the end rings.
To provide mechanical strength, these rotor conductors are braced to the end ring and hence
form a complete closed circuit resembling a cage and hence got its name as squirrel cage induction
motor. As end rings permanently short the bars, the rotor electrical resistance is very small and it is not
possible to add external resistance as the bars get permanently shorted. The absence of slip ring and
brushes make the construction of single phase induction motor very simple and robust.

Working Principle of Single Phase Induction Motor


NOTE: We know that for the working of any electrical motor whether its AC or DC motor, we
require two fluxes as the interaction of these two fluxes produced the required torque.
When we apply a single phase AC supply to the stator winding of single phase induction motor, the
alternating current starts flowing through the stator or main winding. This alternating current produces
an alternating flux called main flux. This main flux also links with the rotor conductors and hence cut
the rotor conductors.
According to the Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction, emf gets induced in the rotor. As
the rotor circuit is closed one so, the current starts flowing in the rotor. This current is called the rotor
current. This rotor current produces its flux called rotor flux. Since this flux is produced due to the
induction principle so, the motor working on this principle got its name as an induction motor.
Now there are two fluxes one is main flux, and another is called rotor flux. These two fluxes produce
the desired torque which is required by the motor to rotate.
Why Single Phase Induction Motor is not Self Starting?

According to double field revolving theory, we can resolve any alternating quantity into two
components. Each component has a magnitude equal to the half of the maximum magnitude of the
alternating quantity, and both these components rotate in the opposite direction to each other.

B) Single phase Transformer:


Transformer is electromagnetic static electrical equipment which transforms magnetic energy to
electrical energy. It consists of a magnetic iron core serving as a magnetic transformer part and
transformer cooper winding serving as electrical part. The transformer is high-efficiency equipment,
and its losses are very low because there isn’t any mechanical friction inside. Transformers are used in
almost all electrical systems from low voltage up to the highest voltage level. It operates only with
alternating current (AC), because the direct current (DC) does not create any electromagnetic induction.
Depending on the electrical network where the transformer is installed, there are two transformer types,
three-phase transformers and single phase transformers. The operation principle of the single-phase
transformer is: the AC voltage source injects the AC current through the transformer primary winding.
The AC current generates the alternating electromagnetic field. The magnetic field lines are moving
through iron transformer core and comprise the transformer secondary circuit. Thus the voltage is
induced in the secondary winding with the same frequency as the voltage of the primary side. The
induced voltage value is determined by Faraday’s Law.

Fig.6: Single phase Transformer

The main parts of a transformer are windings, core, and isolation. The windings should have
small resistance value and usually they are made of copper .They are wound around the core and must
be isolated from it. Also, the windings turns have to be isolated from each other. The transformer core
is made from very thin steel laminations which have high permeability. The laminations have to be thin

www.mallareddyuniversity.ac.in 20
SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING BASIC ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS ENGI

because of decreasing power losses. They have to be isolated from each other, and usually, the
insulating varnish is used for that purpose. The transformer insulation can be provided as dry or as
liquid-filled type. The dry-type insulation is provided by synthetic resins, air, gas or vacuum. It is used
only for small size transformers. The liquid insulation type usually means using mineral oils. The oil
has a long life cycle, good isolation characteristics, overload capability and also provides transformer
cooling. Oil insulation is always used for big transformers.
The single phase transformer contains two windings, one on primary and the other on the
secondary side. They are mostly used in the single-phase electrical power system. The three-phase
system application means using three single phase units connected in the three-phase system. This is a
more expensive solution, and it is used in the high voltage power system.

C) DC Machine:
A dc machine is an electrical machine which converts mechanical/electrical energy into
electrical/mechanical energy. This energy conversion is based on the principle of Faraday’s laws.
Construction of A DC Machine:
A DC generator can be used as a DC motor without any constructional changes and vice versa is
also possible. Thus, a DC generator or a DC motor can be broadly termed as a DC machine. These
basic constructional details are also valid for the construction of a DC motor. Hence, let's call this point
as construction of a DC machine instead of just 'construction of a dc generator.
The above figure shows constructional details of a simple 4-pole DC machine. A DC machine
consists of two basic parts; stator and rotor. Basic constructional parts of a DC machine are described
below.

Fig.7: Cut-section view of DC machine

21
SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING BASIC ELECTRICAL AND
ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING

i) Yoke: The outer frame of a dc machine is called as yoke. It is made up of cast iron or steel. It not
only provides mechanical strength to the whole assembly but also carries the magnetic flux produced by
the field winding.
ii) Poles and pole shoes: Poles are joined to the yoke with the help of bolts or welding. They carry field
winding and pole shoes are fastened to them. Pole shoes serve two purposes ; (i)they support field coils
(ii)spread out the flux in air gap uniformly.
iii) Field winding: They are usually made of copper. Field coils are former wound and
placedoneachpoleandareconnectedinseries.Theyarewoundinsuchawaythat, when energized, they form
alternate North and South poles.
iv) Armature core: Armature core is the rotor of a dc machine. It is cylindrical in shape with slots to
carry armature winding. The armature is built up of thin laminated circular steel disks for reducing eddy
current losses. It may be provided with air ducts for the axial air flow for cooling purposes. Armature is
keyed to the shaft.

Armature core (rotor)


Fig.8: Rotor

v) Armature winding: It is usually a former wound copper coil which rests in armature slots. The
armature conductors are insulated from each other and also from the armature core. Armature winding
can be wound by one of the two methods; lap winding or wave winding. Double layer lap or wave windings are
generally used. A double layer winding means that each armature slot will carry two different coils.

Fig.9: Commutator and brushes

www.mallareddyuniversity.ac.in 22
SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING BASIC ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS ENGI

vi) Commutator and brushes:


Physical connection to the armature winding is made through a commutator - brush
arrangement. The function of a commutator, in a dc generator, is to collect the current generated in
armature conductors. Whereas, in case of a DC motor, commutator helps in providing current to the
armature conductors. A commutator consists of a set of copper segments which are insulated from each
other. The number of segments is equal to the number of armature coils. Each segment is connected to
an armature coil and the commutator is keyed to the shaft. Brushes are usually made from carbon or
graphite. They rest on commutator segments and slide on the segments when the commutator rotates
keeping the physical contact to collect or supply the current.

D) Synchronous Machine:

synchronous machine is a device which converts the mechanical/electrical power or energy into
electrical/mechanical power or energy. The construction of a synchronous machine is very similar to
the DC machine but the main difference between them in DC machine the armature winding is the
rotating part and field winding is the stationary part whereas in synchronous machine the armature
winding is stationery and field winding is the rotary part.

Fig.10: Cut-section view of Synchronous motor


Stator:
As the name suggests it is the stationary part of the machine and it is made up of special magnetic
material which can allow high magnetic permeability and low magnetic hysteresis such as fabricated
steel. The stator core is laminated to minimize the effect of eddy current losses. The lamination is

23
SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING BASIC ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS ENGI

insulated from each other by a thin coating of an oxide and has space between them to allow passage of
cool air flow.
For the small machine, the laminations are stamped out in the complete ring structure and for the
large machine; the laminations are divided into the number of segments. The slots are provided in the
inner periphery of the core and the armature conductors or coils are assembled init .Generally, open
slots are used permitting easy installation or removal of the stator coil. The fractional number of slots
per pole is used in order to eliminate the harmonic in the waveform. The armature winding of an
alternator is usually connected in star and its neutral is connected to the ground.
Rotor:
The revolving field structure of the electrical machine is called as the rotor. In a synchronous
generator, the rotor carries a field winding which is supplied by the DC source. The DC source is also
called an exciter which is generally a small d.c shunt or compounded generator mounted on the shaft of
the alternator.
There are two types of rotor construction
1. Salient Pole Type
2. Cylindrical Type (non-salient pole)

Salient Type:
The salient pole type rotor is used for low and medium speed machines (less than 1200 rpm) and
has the large diameter and small axial length.

Fig.11: Salient Pole Rotor

SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING BASIC ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS ENGI

The poles are made up of thick steel lamination to reduce eddy current heating loss and it is
attached to a rotor by means of the dove tail joint .In salient pole rotor, the poles are always projected in
the outward direction as shown in the figure. The field winding in the salient pole type is connected in
series in such a way that when the field winding is energized by the Exciter, then adjacent poles will
have opposite polarities.
The number of poles does not affect the number of phases in the alternator output.
Toreducetheeffectofhauntingdamperwindingisprovidedinthepolefaces.They don’t let the motor to
oscillate abruptly; they damp the oscillations thus increasing the stability of the machine. Salient pole
rotor found application for diesel engine and water turbine because they both required medium speed
(120-1000rpm).The pole and Pole shoe cover 2/3 of the pole pitch. The rating of salient pole rotor is
less than 500kW.

Cylindrical Type Rotor:


The Rotor is made up of smooth solid forgings of alloy steel cylinder having the number of slots
along the outer periphery. The field windings of cylindrical type rotor are connected in series to the slip
rings through which they are excited by the DC exciter. The top portion of the slot is covered with the
help of steel or manganese wedges and the unslotted portion of the cylinder acts as the poles of an
alternator. The field windings are arranged in such a way that its flux density is maximum on the polar
central line. In cylindrical rotor, the pole doesn’t project out from the smooth surface of the rotor hence
they maintain the uniform air gap between stator and rotor. Since steam turbine runs at very high speed,
therefore, they required less number of poles hence the diameter of the rotor is small and axial or rotor
length is large.

Theory:

a. Kirchhoff’s Voltage law states that the algebraic sum of the voltage around any closed path in a
given circuit is always zero. In any circuit, voltage drops across the resistors always have polarities
opposite to the source polarity. When the current passes through the resistor, there is a loss in
energy and therefore a voltage drop. In any element, the current flows from a higher potential to
lower potential. Consider the fig (1) shown above in which there are 3 resistors are in series.
According to kickoff’s voltage law….
V = V1 + V2 + V3

b. Kirchhoff’s current law states that the sum of the currents entering a node equal to the sum of the
currents leaving the same node. Consider the fig (2) shown above in which there are 2 parallel
paths. According to Kirchhoff’s current law...
I1 = I2 + I3

Procedure:

8. Connecting wires - Required No.

Theory:

A P-N junction diode conducts only in one direction. The V-I characteristics of the diode are
curve between voltage across the diode and current flowing through the diode. When external voltage
is zero, circuit is open and the potential barrier does not allow the current to flow. Therefore, the circuit
current is zero. When P-type (Anode) is connected to +ve terminal and n- type (cathode) is connected
to –ve terminal of the supply voltage is known as forward bias. The potential barrier is reduced when
diode is in the forward biased condition. At some forward voltage, the potential barrier altogether
eliminated and current starts flowing through the diode and also in the circuit. Then diode is said to be
in ON state. The current increases with increasing forward voltage.

When N-type (cathode) is connected to +ve terminal and P-type (Anode) is connected –ve
terminal of the supply voltage is known as reverse bias and the potential barrier across the junction
increases. Therefore, the junction resistance becomes very high and a very small current (reverse
saturation current) flows in the circuit. Then diode is said to be in OFF state. The reverse bias current
is due to minority charge carriers.

SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING BASIC ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS ENG

Theory:

A zener diode is heavily doped p-n junction diode, specially made to operate in the break down
region. A p-n junction diode normally does not conduct when reverse biased. But if the reverse bias is
increased, at a particular voltage it starts conducting heavily. This voltage is called Break down
Voltage. High current through the diode can permanently damage the device

To avoid high current, we connect a resistor in series with zener diode. Once the diode starts
conducting it maintains almost constant voltage across the terminals whatever may be the current
through it i.e., it has very low dynamic resistance. It is used in voltage regulators.

73
SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING BASIC ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS ENG

Theory:

In Half Wave Rectification, When AC supply is applied at the input, only Positive Half Cycle
appears across the load whereas, the negative Half Cycle is suppressed. How this can be explained as
follows:

During positive half-cycle of the input voltage, the diode D1 is in forward bias and conducts
through the load resistor RL. Hence the current produces an output voltage across the load resistor R L,
which has the same shape as the +ve half cycle of the input voltage.

During the negative half-cycle of the input voltage, the diode is reverse biased and there is no
current through the circuit. i.e., the voltage across R L is zero. The net result is that only the +ve half
cycle of the input voltage appears across the load. The average value of the half wave rectified o/p
voltage is the value measured on dc voltmeter.

For practical circuits, transformer coupling is usually provided for two reasons.

1. The voltage can be stepped-up or stepped-down, as needed.


2. The ac source is electrically isolated from the rectifier. Thus, preventing shock hazards in
the secondary circuit.
The efficiency of the Half Wave Rectifier is 40.6%.

Procedure:

1. Connections are made as per the circuit diagram.


2. Connect the primary side of the transformer to ac mains and the secondary side to the rectifier
input.

SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING BASIC ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS ENGIN

Theory:

The circuit of a center-tapped full wave rectifier uses two diodes D1&D2.During positive half
cycle of secondary voltage (input voltage), the diode D1 is forward biased and D2 is reverse biased.
So, the diode D1 conducts and current flows through load resistor RL.

During negative half cycle, diode D2 becomes forward biased and D1 reverse biased. Now,
D2 conducts and current flows through the load resistor RL in the same direction. There is a
continuous current flow through the load resistor RL, during both the half cycles and will get
unidirectional current as show in the model graph. The difference between full wave and half wave
rectification is that a full wave rectifier allows unidirectional (one way) current to the load during the
entire 360 degrees of the input signal and half-wave rectifier allows this only during one half cycle
(180degree).

Procedure:
1. Connections are made as per the circuit diagram.
2. Connect the ac mains to the primary side of the transformer and the secondary side to the rectifier.
3. Measure the ac voltage at the input side of the rectifier.
4. Measure both ac and dc voltages at the output side the rectifier.
5. Find the theoretical value of the dc voltage by using the formula Vdc =2Vm/П
6. Connect the filter capacitor across the load resistor and measure the values of Vac and Vdc at the
output.
7. The theoretical values of Ripple factors with and without capacitor are calculated.
8. From the values of Vac and Vdc practical values of Ripple factors are calculated. The practical
values are compared with theoretical values.

Precautions:
1. The primary and secondary side of the transformer should be carefully identified.
2. The polarities of all the diodes should be carefully identified.

Study of Logic
Gates

Aim:
To study and verify the truth table of logic gates.

Apparatus Required:

S.No.Name of The Apparatus Quantity


Logic Gates trainer kit 1No.
Connecting patch chords Required No.

Theory:

The basic logic gates are the building blocks of more complex logic circuits. These logic gates
perform the basic Boolean functions, such as AND, OR, NAND, NOR, Inversion, Exclusive-OR,
Exclusive-NOR. Fig. below shows the circuit symbol, Boolean function, and truth. It is seen from the
Fig that each gate has one or two binary inputs, A and B, and one binary output, C. The small circle on
the output of the circuit symbols designates the logic complement. The AND, OR, NAND, and NOR
gates can be extended to have more than two inputs. A gate can be extended to have multiple inputs if
the binary operation it represents is commutative and associative.

These basic logic gates are implemented as small-scale integrated circuits (SSICs) or as part of
more complex medium scale (MSI) or very large-scale (VLSI) integrated circuits. Digital IC gates are
classified not only by their logic operation, but also the specific logic-circuit family to which they
belong. Each logic family has its own basic electronic circuit upon which more complex digital
circuits and functions are developed.

Study of 8086 Microprocessor

Aim:
To Study 8086 Microprocessor.

Apparatus Required: 8086 microprocessor kit.

THEORY:

Fig.1: Architecture of 8086 Microprocessor.

8086 Microprocessor is divided into two functional units, i.e., EU (Execution Unit) and BIU (Bus
Interface Unit).

90
SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING BASIC ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS ENG

EU :

Execution unit gives instructions to BIU stating from where to fetch the data and then decode and
execute those instructions. Its function is to control operations on data using the instruction decoder
& ALU. EU has no direct connection with system buses as shown in the above figure, it performs
operations over data through BIU.

ALU:

It handles all arithmetic and logical operations, like +, −, ×, /, OR, AND, NOT operations.

Flag Register:

It is a 16-bit register that behaves like a flip-flop, i.e. it changes its status according to the result
stored in the accumulator. It has 9 flags and they are divided into 2 groups − Conditional Flags and
Control Flags.

Conditional Flags :

It represents the result of the last arithmetic or logical instruction executed. Following is the list of

conditional flags −

 Carry flag − This flag indicates an overflow condition for arithmetic operations.

 Auxiliary flag − When an operation is performed at ALU, it results in a carry/barrow from


lower nibble (i.e. D0 – D3) to upper nibble (i.e. D4 – D7), then this flag is set, i.e. carry given
by D3 bit to D4 is AF flag. The processor uses this flag to perform binary to BCD conversion.

 Parity flag − This flag is used to indicate the parity of the result, i.e. when the lower order 8-
bits of the result contains even number of 1’s, then the Parity Flag is set. For odd number of
1’s, the Parity Flag is reset.

 Zero flag − This flag is set to 1 when the result of arithmetic or logical operation is zero else it
is set to 0.

 Sign flag − This flag holds the sign of the result, i.e. when the result of the operation is
negative, then the sign flag is set to 1 else set to 0.

91
SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING BASIC ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS ENG

 Overflow flag − This flag represents the result when the system capacity is exceeded.

Control Flags:

Control flags controls the operations of the execution unit. Following is the list of control flags −

 Trap flag − It is used for single step control and allows the user to execute one instruction at a
time for debugging. If it is set, then the program can be run in a single step mode.

 Interrupt flag − It is an interrupt enable/disable flag, i.e. used to allow/prohibit the


interruption of a program. It is set to 1 for interrupt enabled condition and set to 0 for interrupt
disabled condition.

 Direction flag − It is used in string operation. As the name suggests when it is set then string
bytes are accessed from the higher memory address to the lower memory address and vice-a-
versa.

General purpose registers:

There are 8 general purpose registers, i.e., AH, AL, BH, BL, CH, CL, DH, and DL. These
registers can be used individually to store 8-bit data and can be used in pairs to store 16bit data. The
valid register pairs are AH and AL, BH and BL, CH and CL, and DH and DL. It is referred to the
AX, BX, CX, and DX respectively.

 AX register − It is also known as accumulator register. It is used to store operands for


arithmetic operations.

 BX register − It is used as a base register. It is used to store the starting base address of the
memory area within the data segment.

 CX register − It is referred to as counter. It is used in loop instruction to store the loop


counter.

 DX register − This register is used to hold I/O port address for I/O instruction.

92
SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING BASIC ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS ENG

Stack pointer Register:

It is a 16-bit register, which holds the address from the start of the segment to the memory
location, where a word was most recently stored on the stack.

BIU (Bus Interface Unit):

BIU takes care of all data and addresses transfers on the buses for the EU like sending
addresses, fetching instructions from the memory, reading data from the ports and the memory as
well as writing data to the ports and the memory. EU has no direction connection with System Buses
so this is possible with the BIU. EU and BIU are connected with the Internal Bus.

It has the following functional parts −

 Instruction queue − BIU contains the instruction queue. BIU gets upto 6 bytes of next instructions
and stores them in the instruction queue. When EU executes instructions and is ready for its next
instruction, then it simply reads the instruction from this instruction queue resulting in increased
execution speed.

 Fetching the next instruction while the current instruction executes is called pipelining.

 Segment register − BIU has 4 segment buses, i.e. CS, DS, SS& ES. It holds the addresses of
instructions and data in memory, which are used by the processor to access memory locations. It
also contains 1 pointer register IP, which holds the address of the next instruction to executed by
the EU.

o CS − It stands for Code Segment. It is used for addressing a memory location in the code
segment of the memory, where the executable program is stored.

o DS − It stands for Data Segment. It consists of data used by the program and is accessed in
the data segment by an offset address or the content of other register that holds the offset
address.

o SS − It stands for Stack Segment. It handles memory to store data and addresses during
execution.

93
SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING BASIC ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS ENG

o ES − It stands for Extra Segment. ES is additional data segment, which is used by the
string to hold the extra destination data.

 Instruction pointer − It is a 16-bit register used to hold the address of the next instruction to
be executed.

immediately terminate its present activity. This signal is active high for the first 4 clock cycles to
RESET the microprocessor.
INTR
It is available at pin 18. It is an interrupt request signal, which is sampled during the last clock
cycle of each instruction to determine if the processor considered this as an interrupt or not.
NMI

which causes an interrupt request to the microprocessor.
TEST
This signal is like wait state and is available at pin 23. When this signal is high, then the
processor has to wait for IDLE state, else the execution continues.

processor is to operate in; when it is high, it works in the minimum mode and vice-versa.
INTA
It is an interrupt acknowledgement signal and id available at pin 24. When the microprocessor
receives this signal, it acknowledges the interrupt.
ALE

Circuit Diagram:

Theory:
PSPICE is a general-purpose circuit program that simulates electronic circuits.
PSPICE can perform various types of analysis of electronic circuits, the operating points of
transistors, time domain response, small signal frequency response, etc…
PSPICE contains models for common circuit elements, active as well as passive, and it
is capable of simulating most electronic circuits. It is a versatile program and is widely used
inindustries and universities.
The acronym PSPICE stands for Personal Simulation Program with
IntegratedCircuit Emphasis.
Until recently, PSPICE was available only on mainframe computers. In addition to the initial
cost of the computer system, such a machine can be unwieldy and inconvenient for class room
use. In 1984, MICROSIM introduced the PSPICE simulator, which is similar to Berkeley
PSPICE and runs on an IBM-PC or compatible. It was available at no cost to students for
99
SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING BASIC ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS ENG

classroom use. PSPICE, therefore widened the scope of the integrated computer aided circuit
analysis into electronic circuit courses at the under graduate level. Other versions of PSPICE
that will run on computers such as the Macintosh-II, VAX, SUN, and NEC are also available.

PSPICE allows the various types of analysis as follows:


1. DC Analysis:- Calculation of node voltages and branch currents and their
quiescent valuesare the outputs.
Eg:- DC sweep voltage (.DC),
Small-Signal transfer function (Thevenin‟s equivalent)
