EXPERIMENT NO 1

AIM: To verify KCL and KVL.

THEORETICAL CONCEPT: KCL AND KVL are used to solve the electrical network,

which are not solved by the simple electrical formula. KCL: It states that in any electrical network the algebraic sum of currents meeting at a point is

zero. Consider the case of few conductors meeting at a node in the fig. assuming incoming

currents to be positive and the outgoing currents to be negative.

I1+ I2 + I3 - I4 - I5 = 0 I1+ I2 + I3 = I4 + I5

Therefore Incoming current = outgoing current KVL: It states that the algebraic sum of product of current and resistances in each of the

conductors in any closed path in a network plus the algebraic sum of the electromotive force

in the closed path is zero.

ΣI.R. + ΣE.M.F. = 0

Here IR is the voltage drop and E.M.F. is electromotive force.

EXPERIMENT NO 5

AIM: To study frequency response of series RLC circuit and determine resonance frequency. THEORETICAL CONCEPT: In a series RLC circuit there becomes a frequency point were the inductive reactance of the inductor becomes equal in value to the capacitive reactance of the capacitor. In other words, XL = XC. The point at which this occurs is called the Resonant Frequency point, (ƒr) of the circuit, and as we are analysing a series RLC circuit this resonance frequency produces a series resonance. Series resonance circuits are one of the most important circuits used electrical and electronic circuits. They can be found in various forms such as in AC mains filters, noise filters and also in radio and television tuning circuits producing a very selective tuning circuit for the receiving of the different frequency channels. Consider the simple series RLC circuit below.

In the series resonance circuit the net reactance X=XL-XC So impedance of the circuit is Z=√ (R

EXPERIMENT NO 6

AIM: To study frequency response of a parallel R-L-C circuit and determine resonance

frequency. THEORETICAL CONCEPT:

A parallel circuit containing a resistance, R, an inductance, L and a capacitance, C will produce a

parallel resonance (also called anti-resonance) circuit when the resultant current through the

parallel combination is in phase with the supply voltage. At resonance there will be a large

circulating current between the inductor and the capacitor due to the energy of the oscillations,

and then parallel circuits produce current resonance.

A parallel resonant circuit stores the circuit energy in the magnetic field of the inductor and the

electric field of the capacitor. This energy is constantly being transferred back and forth between

the inductor and the capacitor which results in zero current and energy being drawn from the

supply. This is because the corresponding instantaneous values of IL and IC will always be equal

and opposite and therefore the current drawn from the supply is the vector addition of these two

currents and the current flowing in IR.

The frequency response curve of a parallel resonance circuit shows that the magnitude of the

current is a function of frequency and plotting this onto a graph shows us that the response starts

at its maximum value, reaches its minimum value at the resonance frequency when IMIN = IR and

then increases again to maximum as ƒ becomes infinite.

For the parallel R-L-C circuit IC=IL Sin ΦL IL=V/Z Sin ΦL=XL/Z V/Z*XL /Z=V/XC or XL*XC=Z

EXPERIMENT NO 8 AIM: To study voltmeter, ammeter, wattmeter and multimeter.

THEORETICAL CONCEPT: There are different types of meters used in electrical circuit which

is explained below. Ammeters and voltmeters:

1. Moving iron type both for AC and DC.

2. Moving coil type for DC only.

3. Induction type for AC and DC. Wattmeters:

1. Electrostatic type for AC and DC.

2. Dynamometer type both for AC and D

3. Induction type for AC only.

4. Electrodynamics type for DC only.

Moving iron type both for AC and DC:

Moving-iron instruments are generally used to measure alternating voltages and currents. In

moving-iron instruments the movable system consists of one or more pieces of specially-shaped

soft iron, which are so pivoted as to be acted upon by the magnetic field produced by the

current in coil.

There are two general types of moving-iron instruments namely:

1. Repulsion (or double iron) type (figure 1)

2. Attraction (or single-iron) type (figure 2)

The brief description of different components of a moving-iron instrument is given below.

Moving element: a small piece of soft iron in the form of a vane or rod.

Coil: to produce the magnetic field due to current flowing through it and also to

magnetize the iron pieces.

In repulsion type, a fixed vane or rod is also used and magnetized with the same

polarity.

Control torque is provided by spring or weight (gravity).

Damping torque is normally pneumatic, the damping device consisting of an air chamber

and a moving vane attached to the instrument spindle.

Deflecting torque produces a movement on an aluminum pointer over a graduated scale.

Permanent Magnet Moving Coil Instrument:

The permanent magnet moving coil instrument or PMMC type instrument uses two permanent

magnets in order to create stationary magnetic field. These types of instruments are only used for

measuring the dc quantities as if we apply ac current to these type of instruments the direction of

current will be reversed during negative half cycle and hence the direction of torque will also be

reversed which gives average value of torque zero. The pointer will not deflect due to high

frequency from its mean position showing zero reading. However it can measure the direct

current very accurately.

Dynamo type wattmeter:

Page 23: ELECTRICAL TECHNOLOGY LAB (EE-103-F)

23

23 ELECTRICAL TECHNOLOGY LAB (EE-103-F)

Dynamo type wattmeter works on very simple principle and this principle can be stated as when

any current carrying conductor is placed inside a magnetic field, it experiences a mechanical force

and due this mechanical force deflection of conductor takes place.

(a) Moving coil: Moving coil moves the pointer with the help of spring control instrument. A

limited amount of current flows through the moving coil so in order to limit the current we have

connect the high value resistor in series with the moving coil. The moving is air cored and is

mounted on a pivoted spindle and can moves freely.The moving coil works as pressure coil.

Hence moving coil is connected across the voltage and thus the current flowing through this coil

is always proportional to the voltage.

(b) Fixed coil: The fixed coil is divided into two equal parts and these are connected in series with

the load, therefore the load current will flow through these coils. These coils are called the current

coils.

(c) Control system: Out of two controlling systems i.e. (1) Gravity control (2) Spring control, only

spring controlled systems are used in these types of wattmeter. Gravity controlled system cannot

be employed because they will appreciable amount of errors.

(d) Damping system: Air friction damping is used, as eddy current damping will distort the weak

operating magnetic field and thus it may leads to error.

(e) Scale: There is uniform scale is used in these types of instrument as moving coil moves

linearly over a range of 40 degrees to 50 degrees on either sides.

Induction type energy meter:

It is the popularly known and most common type of age old watt hour meter. It consists of

rotating aluminum disc mounted on a spindle between two electro magnets. Speed of rotation of

disc is proportional to the power and this power is integrated by the use of counter mechanism

and gear trains. It comprises of two silicon steel laminated electromagnets i.e., series and shunt

magnets.

Series magnet carries a coil which is of few turns of thick wire connected in series with line

whereas shunt magnet carries coil with many turns of thin wire connected across the supply.

Breaking magnet is a permanent magnet which applies the force opposite to normal disc rotation

to move that disc at balanced position and to stop the disc while power is off.

Vertical spindle or shaft of the aluminum disc is connected to gear arrangement which records a

number, proportional to the number of revolutions of the disc. This gear arrangement sets the

number in a series of dials and indicates energy consumed over a time. This type of meter is

simple in construction and accuracy is somewhat less due to creeping and other external fields. A

major problem with these types of meters is their easy prone to tampering, leading to a

requirement of an electrical energy monitoring system. These are very commonly used in

domestic and industrial applications.

Digital Multimeter:

As the name suggests, it is a multipurpose instrument. It can measure AC and DC current,

voltage, frequency, resistance. It can also test capacitors, diodes, PNP and NPN junctions. Its

operation is also very simple. It gives very accurate value. It has no errors. It has many ranges

which are following: -

1. DC range up to 100 V in 5 ranges 2. AC range up to 750 V in 5 ranges

3. DC Current ranges up to 10 A in 5 ranges

Page 24: ELECTRICAL TECHNOLOGY LAB (EE-103-F)

only.

EXPERIMENT NO 9

AIM: To perform the direct load test on the transformer and plot the curve between efficiency

and voltage.

THEORETICAL CONCEPT: The ac voltage is applied to the primary coil, the ac current in the

primary coil gives rise to flux change. The change of flux induces emf in the secondary coil due

to mutual induction. We can calculate the efficiency by using voltmeter and ammeter since we are

using resistive load.

AIM: To verify superposition theorem.

THEORETICAL CONCEPT: According to this theorem if two or more than two voltage

current flowing in any branch of the circuit is the algebraic sum of current produced by each source

acting individually when all other voltage source are replaced by their internal resistance and

current source by open circuit.
