Experiment # 11
No-load E.M.F
Purpose:
 Record the no-load voltage generated by a dynamo under constant speed and
separation excitation.
 Verify the dependence the no-load voltage from speed.

Components:
 1 DC machine stator with commutator rotor and connected brushes
 1 AC machine stator with ring rotor and connected brushes
 1DL 10281 Supply module
 1 DL 1082 Measurement module
 1 DL 10125 starting rheostat and synchronizer

Procedure:
 Assemble the group synchronous motor-dynamo by using the stator of the alternating
current machine, completed with ring rotor and brushes, and stator of the direct
current machine, completed with commutator rotor and brushes.
 For the synchronous motor we refer to experiment No21 .
 I carried the given circuit diagram to make the connection.

 Set the supply module DL 10281 for a fixed alternating voltage 24V/14A(selector
“a0b” to position “a” and switch L1/L2/L3 to position”0”) and set selector “c0d” to
position “0” with control knob to 0%).
 Set on the measurement module DL 10282 the voltmeter and ammeter for direct
current measurements And observe the polarities(+ at red terminal).
 Set the module DL 10125 the starting rheostat switch to the position R1A and the
control knob of the direct source to 80% supply module.
 Activate the supply module and start the motor by setting the switch L1/L2/L3 to
position “1”. Gradually accelerate the motor by setting the start rheostat switch in
sequence to positions R2A, R3A and short circuit(last clockwise position but one): the
motors turn now with a speed next to the synchronism.
 Finally synchronize the induction motor by setting the starting rheostat switch to last
clockwise position: the induction motor is in this way synchronized and it turns with
the synchronous speed.
 By using the most suitable range of the voltmeter verify that there is between the
terminal A1-A2 of the generator a certain voltage due to residual magnetism.
 Set now the supply of DL 10282 even for a variable direct voltage 0÷40V/5A(selector
“c0d” at position “c”).
 Record the magnetization characteristics by measuring the voltage delivered by the
generator in correspondences of the value of the excitation current. Obtained by
acting on the control knob and shown in table, by carrying out at first the
measurements with increasing current and then with decreasing current .

Conclusion:
 We keep the speed constant and check the relation between excitation current and
voltage. So when the current change the voltage also change. And check their relation.
