The world abounds in umpteen forms of energies. From time immemorial human beings have been striving hard in harnessing these energies for improving their living standards. Energy thus serves as the life blood for the perpetual growth and progress of human civilization. In the energy hierarchy electrical energy holds the top rank. It is because electrical energy is easily adaptable for all human needs and interests in an economic and efficient manner. At the same time, electrical energy can be easily controlled and is pollution free at the consumer premises. It is truly said that per capita energy consumption in any country is an index of the living standard of the people in that country. The increase use of electrical energy in different fields of daily life has been primarily due to the availability of a vast variety of electrical machinery for the purpose of generation and utilization. Electrical machinery can be mainly classified as dc machines and ac machines. DC machines can operate as generators and motors same is true for ac machines Introduction to DC MACHINES DC machine is actually an alternating current machine, but furnished with a special device, called the commutator, which under certain conditions converts ac into dc and vice-versa. Inspite of the fact that the commutator has made the operating conditions of a dc machine complicated; it is a highly versatile energy converting device. By means of various combinations of shunt, series and separately excited field windings they can be designed to give a wide variety of voltage-current or speed-torque characteristics for both dynamic and steady state operation. Because of the ease with which they can be controlled, dc motors are often used in applications requiring a wide range of motor speeds or precise control of motor output- rolling mills, overhead cranes and traction; drives for process industry, battery driven vehicles etc. small dc motors are widely used in control application. Small dc generators are used for power supply in ships, air crafts, automobiles and other vehicles isolated from inland ac network system. Both induced emfs and mechanical forces are developed in a machine whether it is a generator or motor. As such a dc generator and motor have identical construction. The term generator denotes that it generates electrical energy but actually it does not. It simply converts mechanical energy supplied to it into electrical energy. The curves or graphs giving the relationship between various quantities such as excitation (or field current), generated emf, terminal voltage and the load current etc are known as generator characteristics. The performance and therefore suitability of a dc motor is determined from its characteristics known as performance characteristics. Introduction to SYNCHRONOUS MACHINES A synchronous machine is an ac machine in which the rotor moves at a speed which bears a constant relationship to the frequency of currents in the armature winding,. A synchronous machine is one of the important types of electrical machines. Large ac networks operating at constant frequency of 50 Hz rely almost on exclusively on synchronous generators also called the alternators for the supply pf electrical energy and may have synchronous compensators at key points for control of reactive power. Private, stand-by and peak load plants with diesel or gas turbine prime movers also have synchronous generators. Synchronous motors provide constant speed industrial drives with the possibility of power factor correction. Synchronous machines are generally constructed in larger sizes. Small size alternators are not economical. The modern trend is to build alternator of very large sizes capable of generating 500 4

MVA or even more. The synchronous motor is rarely built in small sizes owing to superior performance characteristics and economic construction of induction motors. Synchronous machines according to their applications may be synchronous generators, synchronous motors or synchronous compensators. A synchronous generator is synchronous machine which receives mechanical energy from prime mover to which it is mechanically coupled and delivers electrical energy. A synchronous motor receives electrical energy from ac supply main and drives mechanical load. Synchronous compensator is a synchronous machine designed operate on no load with its shaft connected neither to a prime mover nor to a mechanical load and is used to control reactive power in power supply networks.

Load characteristics of a D.C. shunt generator. Aim: - To draw the external and internal characteristics of the given D.C.Shunt Generator Apparatus Required: - Sl.No. Particular Range Type Quantity 01 voltmeter 0-300v MC 01 0-10v MC 01 02 Ammeter 0-1/2A MC 01 03 Rheostats 0-38Ω ---- 01 0-750Ω ----- 02 04 tachometer - ---- 01 05 Loading Rheostat ----- 01 06 connecting wires Theory: Generators work on a principle of dynamically induced e.m.f. this principle is nothing but the Faraday s law of electromagnetic induction. It states that whenever the flux linking with a conductor or a coil changes an emf is set up in that conductor. So a voltage gets generated in a conductor as long as there exists a relative motion between conductor and the flux. So a generating action requires following basic components to exist i) the conductor or a coil ii) the flux iii) the relative motion between conductor and flux. In a practical generator the conductors are rotated to cut the magnetic flux keeping flux stationary. To have a large voltage as the out put, the no of conductors are connected together in a specific manner, to form a winding. This winding is called armature winding of a DC machine the part on which this winding is kept is called armature of a DC machine. The necessary magnetic flux is Produced by current carrying winding which is called field winding. DC Generators basically divided into two categories depending on way of deriving the field current or exciting current as i)separately excited generator ii)separately excited generator. When the field winding supply from the armature of the generator itself then it is said to be self excited generator. Based on how field windings are connected to the armature to derive its excitation this type is further divided into the following three types i)shunt generator ii)series generator iii)compound generator. When the field winding is connected in parallel with the armature, and the combination across the load then the generator is called shunt generator. The load characteristics of a DC shunt generator are further divided into two types. i) External characteristics which is the graph of the terminal voltage against load current. ii) Internal characteristics which is the graph of generated induced emf against the armature current. While plotting both the characteristics, the speed of the generator is maintained constant. Procedure: 6

Both series and shunt field windings are mounted on the same poles. Depending upon the connection of shunt &series winding compound generator is further classified as i) Long shunt compound generator ii) Short shunt compound generator. In long shunt cumulative compound generator, shunt field winding is connected across the series combination armature & series field winding. The two fluxes produced by shunt &series field help each other. As load current increases armature current increases and hence series current also increases producing more flux. Thus the induced emf increases and terminal voltage also increases but due to Armature reaction, there is a drop in the terminal voltage. Procedure: 1. Connections are made as shown in the circuit diagram. 2.

as i) Long shunt compound generator ii) Short shunt compound generator. In long shunt cumulative compound generator, shunt field winding is connected across the series combination armature & series field winding. The two fluxes produced by shunt &series field oppose each other. The net flux is difference between the two. As load current increases shunt flux almost constant but series flux increases rapidly. Hence the resultant flux reduces. Thus the induced emf and terminal voltage also decreases drastically. There is drop due to armature resistance, series field resistance armature reaction due to which terminal voltage drops further.

Date: LOAD TEST AND PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS OF D.C SHUNT MOTOR Aim: To plot the performance characteristics of a D.C. shunt motor after conducting load test. Apparatus required:. S.l No Apparatus Range Quantity 1 Ammeter 2 Voltmeter 3 Rheostats 4 Tachometer Theory: In a shunt motor we have E = ØZNP and Ø α Ish 60A Therefore E b α N Also E b = V - I a R a As the motor is loaded Ia increases and Eb decreases. Hence speed also decreases. The torque is directly proportional to Ia and therefore varies linearly. At low loads, copper loss is less but iron loss is more. At higher loads copper loss increases. At a particular load (around 80%) the two losses are equal and the efficiency becomes maximum. Beyond this region, the copper losses exceed the iron losses thus increasing the net losses. Hence the efficiency droops. Circuit diagram: 15

Theory: In this test a D.C motor is mechanically coupled to D.C Generator in turn the generator is electrically coupled to the motor. The power taken by the supply is mainly used to supply the losses in the two machines. The combination is loaded by weakening the flux of the motor or strengthening the flux of the generator. By this method, full load test can be carried out on two similar shunt machines with out wasting their outputs. Circuit for Measurement of R a: 20

4 Stop watch 5 Tachom eter Department of Electrical & Electronics Engg. Theory: This method is applicable to shunt motors and generators and is used for finding stray losses. Then, knowing the armature and shunt copper losses at a given load current, the efficiency can be calculated. The machine under test is speeded up slightly beyond its normal speed and then supply is cut off from the armature, keeping the field excited. Consequently the armature slows down and its kinetic energy is used to meet the rotational losses (friction, windage and iron losses).in addition a retarding torque by way of no inductive resistance is applied to the armature.the power drawn by this resistance acts as a retarding torque on the armature, there by, making it slow down comparatively quickly. Circuit Diagram: Measurement of field resistance: Fig (a) Measurement of R a : fig.c Procedure: 1. Make the connections as per the circuit diagram of fig (a). 2. Keep the armature resistance at maximum and motor field circuit resistance at minimum position. 27

3. Close the supply switch and DPDT on the armature side (position I). Gradually adjust armature circuit resistance to minimum. Then increase the motor field circuit resistance so that the motor runs slightly beyond rated speed (say by 50 rpm). The field current is noted. 4.

Aim: To find the percent voltage regulation of 3 Ф alternator by MMF method Apparatus required: Sl Appara No tus 1 Ammet er 2 Voltmet er 3 Rheosta t 4 Tachom eter Range Quant ity Theory: This method is based on the ampere-turns. In the alternator on load, ampere-turns are required to generate the induced emf, to account for the armature reaction effect and to account for the armature drop in the machine. From the SC and OC tests, we obtain the ampere-turns to account for the armature drop and the ampere turns to generate the induced emf. These are vectorially added to obtain the total ampere-turns corresponding to the given load and p f (assumed). Corresponding to the total ampere turns us then obtains the induced emf from the OCC. This method gives % regulation whose value is numerically less.hence this method is called optimistic method. The vector diagram is given as below.
