LABORATORY PRACTICE

SAFETY RULES
1. SAFETY is of paramount importance in the Laboratories. 2 .Electricity NEVER EXECUSES careless persons. So, exercise enough care and

attention in handling electrical & electronic equipment and follow safety practices in the laboratory. (Electricity is a good servant but a bad master). 3. Avoid direct contact with any voltage source and power line voltages. (Otherwise,

any such contact may subject you to electrical shock) 4. Wear rubber-soled shoes. (To insulate you from earth so that even if you accidentally

contact a live point, current will not flow through your body to earth and hence you will be protected from electrical shock) . 5. Wear laboratory-coat and avoid loose clothing. (Loose clothing may get caught on

an equipment/instrument and this may lead to an accident particularly if the equipment happens to be a rotating machine) 6. 7. Girl students should have their hair tucked under their coat or have it in a knot. Do not wear any metallic rings, bangles, bracelets, wristwatches and neck chains.

(When you move your hand/body, such conducting items may create a short circuit or may touch a live point and thereby subject you to electrical shock) 8. Be certain that your hands are dry and that you are not standing on wet floor. (Wet

parts of the body reduce the contact resistance thereby increasing the severity of the shock) 9. Ensure that the power is OFF before you start connecting up the circuit.(Otherwise you

will be touching the live parts in the circuit) 10. Get your circuit diagram approved by the staff member and connect up the circuit 2

strictly as per the approved circuit diagram.

11. plugs. 12.

Check power chords for any sign of damage and be certain that the chords use

safety plugs and do not defeat the safety feature of these plugs by using ungrounded

When using connection leads, check for any insulation damage in the leads and

avoid such defective leads. 13. Switch on the power to your circuit and equipment only after getting them checked up

and approved by the staff member. 14. .Do not make any change in the connection without the approval of the staff

member. 15. In case you notice any abnormal condition in your circuit ( like insulation heating

up, resistor heating up etc ), switch off the power to your circuit immediately and inform the staff member. 16. 17. Keep hot soldering iron in the holder when not in use. After completing the experiment show your readings to the staff member and

switch off the power to your circuit after getting approval from the staff member. 18. Some students have been found to damage meters by mishandling in the following ways: i. ii. Keeping unnecessary material like books, lab records, unused meters etc. causing meters to fall down the table. Putting pressure on the meter (specially glass) while making connections or while talking or listening somebody.

NOTES

1. The students will be split in batches. After splitting the batches they should do the experiments only with their batch members till the end of semester unless there is a change made by the staff. They should not mingle with other batch mates unless the staff asks them to do so. 2. Manual is only for the reference purpose. The experiments reading should be noted down only in the observation notebook. 3. The students should maintain an observation note book separately which should be brought to every lab class without fail. No students will be allowed to enter the lab class without observation note book and record note book. 4. The experiments will be splitted up as Cycle-I & Cycle-II. The students must write well in advance all the experiments of that particular cycle of which they are going to begin. 5. The students must come to lab class by preparing for the particular experiment they do for that day and the experiment should well be written in the observation before they come to the lab class. 6. Each experiment will be awarded an assessment marks. Total of 10 marks will be assigned as assessment mark for each experiment out of which 5 marks will be awarded based on the number of days of which the students gets their experiment corrected in the observation notebook. The mark will be awarded as follows: Getting signed on the day of experiment - 5 Marks 1 day from the day of experiment 2 days from the day of experiment 3 days from the day of experiment 4 days from the day of experiment 5 days from the day of experiment - 5 Marks - 4 Marks - 3 Marks - 2 Marks - 1 Mark

These days are exclusive of Sundays and public holidays. After 5 days no observation will be signed by the staff member.

The remaining 5 marks will be awarded based on how the student he/she answers the Viva- Voice question which will be asked at the beginning and end of each experiment. 7. The students can get sign in the observation note book only from the in charge staff or from assist staff. 8. If the student does not get the particular experiment signed on the observation, they should not write that particular experiment in their record notebook and they will also not be given any assessment marks for that particular experiment. 9. The circuit diagrams should be drawn only using HB pencil, Scale, Pro circle, etc. No rough diagrams are entertained. 10. At the end of each experiment completed on that particular day Viva Voice questions will be asked by the staff members. The Viva voice questions can be from any part of that particular subject. 11. No student should take leave on the day of Lab class unless for the case of emergency. In case they absent themselves, the particular student he/she will not be allowed to repeat the experiment for which they absent. 12. The Student who absent themselves for the lab class will be allowed to enter the lab only after getting their leave form signed from the Class In charge and the HOD of their respective department. 13. No repetition classes for any student will be allowed unless the staff asks them to do so.

GUIDELINES FOR LABORATORY NOTEBOOK

The laboratory notebook is a record of all work pertaining to the experiment. This record should be sufficiently complete so that you or anyone else of similar technical background can duplicate the experiment and data by simply following your laboratory notebook. Record everything directly into the notebook during the experiment. Do not use scratch paper for recording data. Do not trust your memory to fill in the details at a later time. Organization in your notebook is important. Descriptive headings should be used to separate and identify the various parts of the experiment. Record data in chronological order. A neat, organized and complete record of an experiment is just as important as the experimental work. 1. Heading: The experiment identification (number) should be at the top of each page. Your name and date should be at the top of the first page of each day's experimental work. 2. Object: A brief but complete statement of what you intend to find out or verify in the experiment should be at the beginning of each experiment 3. Diagram: A circuit diagram should be drawn and labeled so that the actual experiment circuitry could be easily duplicated at any time in the future. Be especially careful to record all circuit changes made during the experiment. 4. Equipment List: List those items of equipment which have a direct effect on the accuracy of the data. It may be necessary later to locate specific items of equipment for rechecks if discrepancies develop in the results. 5. Procedure: In general, lengthy explanations of procedures are unnecessary. Be brief. Short 6

commentaries along side the corresponding data may be used. Keep in mind the fact that the experiment must be reproducible from the information given in your notebook. 6. Data: Think carefully about what data is required and prepare suitable data tables. Record instrument readings directly. Do not use calculated results in place of direct data; however, calculated results may be recorded in the same table with the direct data. Data tables should be clearly identified and each data column labeled and headed by the proper units of measure. 7. Calculations: Not always necessary but equations and sample calculations are often given to illustrate the treatment of the experimental data in obtaining the results. 8. Graphs: Graphs are used to present large amounts of data in a concise visual form. Data to be presented in graphical form should be plotted in the laboratory so that any questionable data points can be checked while the experiment is still set up. The grid lines in the notebook can be used for most graphs. If special graph paper is required, affix the graph permanently into the notebook. Give all graphs a short descriptive title. Label and scale the axes. Use units of measure. Label each curve if more than one on a graph. 9. Results: The results should be presented in a form which makes the interpretation easy. Large amounts of numerical results are generally presented in graphical form. Tables are generally used for small amounts of results. Theoretical and experimental results should be on the same graph or arrange in the same table in a way for easy correlation of these results. 10. Conclusion: This is your interpretation of the results of the experiment as an engineer. Be brief and specific. Give reasons for important discrepancies.

TROUBLE SHOOTING HINTS

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Be Sure that the power is turned ON Be sure the ground connections are common Be sure the circuit you build is identical to your circuit diagram (Do a node by node check) Be sure that the supply voltages are correct Be sure that the equipment is set up correctly and you are measuring the correct parameters If steps I through 5 are correct then you probably have used a component with the wrong

value or one that doesnt work. It is also possible that the equipment does not work (although this is not probable) or the protoboard you are using may have some unwanted paths between nodes. To find your problem you must trace through the voltages in your circuit node by node and compare the signal you expect to have. Then if they are different use your engineering judgment to decide what is causing the different or ask your lab assistant

Energy meter is a device used to measure the energy consumed in AC circuits. It has two electromagnetic coils made of silicon steel. This two coils are called current coil and pressure coil. An aluminium disc revolution it due to the torque produced as a result of the flux that is propotional to the current and supply voltage. The number of revolutions of the disc per kwhr is shown on the energy meter and is called energy meter constant (K). IN an energy meter K revolutions are equal to 1kwhr.

Ex. No.6 MEASUREMENT OF RESISTANCE TO EARTH OF ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT

30

Aim: To measure the resistance to earth / insulation resistance of the order of mega ohms. Theory: Megger is an instrument for testing the insulation resistance of the order of mega ohms. It consists of an emf source and a voltmeter. The voltmeter scale is calibrated in ohms. In measurement, the emf of the self-contained source should be equal that of the source used in calibration. The deflection of the moving system depends on the ratio of the currents in the coils and is independent of the applied voltage. The value of unknown resistance can be found directly from the scale of the instrument. Figure shows detailed diagram of a megger. It consists of a hand driven dc generator a emf about 500v.the permanent dc meter has two moving coils. First one is deflecting coil and another another one is controlling coil. The deflecting coil is connected to the generator through a resistor R2 . The torque due to the two coils oppose each other. It consists of three terminals E (earth terminal ) and L (line terminal) and G (guard wire terminal). MEGGER

Operation: When the terminals are open circuited, no current flows through the deflecting coil. The torque to the controlling coil moves the pointer to one end of the scale. When the terminals are short circuited, the torque due to the controlling coil and the pointer is deflected to the other end of the scale i.e. zero mark. In between the two extreme positions the scale is calibrated to indicate the value of unknown resistance directly. The unknown insulation resistance is the combination of insulation volume resistance and surface leakage resistance. The guard wire terminal makes the surface leakage current to by pass the instrument hence only insulation resistance is measured. Procedure: 1. Connections are given as per the connection diagram. 2. Insert the rods at two different places in the ground and supply the desired voltage to megger for its operation by rotating the handle. 3. Take the readings of the megger. 4. Repeat the steps 3 and 4 by varying the distance between the rods.

Result: Thus the measured value of the resistance to earth / insulation resistance of the unknown material is = ----- M

STUDY OF ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS AND EQUIPMENTS RESISTOR, COLOUR CODING

Aim: To find the value the value of given resistors using colour coding Apparatus Required: 1. Resistors-various ranges Theory: Resistors: Resistors have three principal ratings: resistance in ohms, tolerance in percent, andpower dissipation in watts. Most of the resistors we have in the lab can dissipate watt and have tolerances of +or - 5 %.Resistance values are coded on the resistors with color bands. The first two bands give two significant digits of the value, the third band is a multiplier expressed as a power of 10, and the fourth band is the tolerance. The table below shows the color code. For example, red-red orange-gold is 22 Kohms + or - 5 %. Sometimes watt is not enough for a circuit application and then a physically larger resistor is required. PROCEDURE: 1. Find the nominal value and the tolerance of each resistance using the color codes 2. Calculae the resistor values and using the digital multimeter as an ohmmeter, we can cross check and record the resistance of each. Tabular Column: Resistor Values: Resistor Nominal value / Tolerance R1 R2 R3

Theory: A sinusoidal signal is a general sine function. An electrical signal is a voltage or current which conveys information, usually it means a voltage. The term can be used for any voltage or current in a circuit. The voltage-time graph above shows the various properties of an electrical signal. In addition to the properties labelled on the graph, there is frequency which is the number of cycles per second. The diagram shows a sine wave but these properties apply to any signal with a constant shape. Amplitude is the maximum voltage reached by the signal. It is measured in volts, V. Peak voltage is another name for amplitude. Peak-peak voltage is twice the peak voltage (amplitude). When reading an oscilloscope trace it is usual to measure peak-peak voltage. the peak-to-peak value of the volage is simply the difference between the largest voltage (usually positive) and the smallest voltage (usually negative).

38

Time period is the time taken for the signal to complete one cycle. It is measured in seconds (s), but time periods tend to be short so milliseconds (ms) and microseconds (s) are often used. 1ms = 0.001s and 1s = 0.000001s. Frequency is the number of cycles per second. It is measured in hertz (Hz), but frequencies tend to be high so kilohertz (kHz) and megahertz (MHz) are often used. 1kHz = 1000Hz and 1MHz = 1000000Hz.

RMS value is the effective value of a varying voltage or current. It is the equivalent steady DC (constant) value which gives the same effect

Procedure: 1. AC signal is given as an input to CRO. 2. The CRO display is noted. 3. From the display the various parameters like peak-peak voltage, maximum voltage and time period are noted. 4. By using the formulas, the RMS value and frequency are calculated.

Result: Thus the various AC signal parameters (Peak-peak, RMS, Period and frequency) were measured using CRO.

Half wave rectifier: 52

It converts an ac voltage into a pulsating DC voltage using only one half of the applied ac voltage. The rectifying diode conducts during one half of the ac cycle. During positive half cycle of the input signal the anode of diode becomes positive with respect to cathode and hence the diode conducts. For an ideal diode the forward voltage drop is zero so the whole input voltage appears across the load. During negative half of the input signal the anode of the diode becomes negative with respect to cathode and hence the diode does not conduct. For an ideal diode the impedance offered by the diode is unity so the whole input voltage drop across diode. Hence voltage drop across RL is zero. CIRCUIT DIAGRAM Half Wave Rectifier

A rectifier utilizes unidirectional conduction devices like Vacuum diode or PN junction diode. Full wave rectifier: It converts an AC voltage in to a pulsating DC voltage using both half cycles of the applied AC voltage. It uses two diodes of which one conducts during positive half cycle 56

while the other conducts during negative half cycle. During positive half cycle of the input signal anode of the diode D1 becomes positive with respect to cathode and at the same time anode of the diode becomes negative. Hence D1 conducts and D2 will not conduct during positive half cycle. During negative half of the input anode of the diode D1 becomes negative and anode of diode D2 becomes positive. Hence D1 does not conduct and D2 will conduct. The load current flows through D2 and voltage drop across RL will be equal to the input voltage.

CHARACTERISTICS OF SEMICONDUCTOR DIODE

To study the PN junction diode characteristics under Forward & Reverse bias conditions. APPARATUS REQUIRED: S.No. 1 2 3 Name R.P.S Ammeter Voltmeter THEORY: A PN junction diode is a two terminal junction device. It conducts only in one direction (only on forward biasing). FORWARD BIAS: On forward biasing, initially no current flows due to barrier potential. As the applied potential exceeds the barrier potential the charge carriers gain sufficient energy to cross the potential barrier and hence enter the other region. The holes, which are majority carriers in the P-region, become minority carriers on entering the N-regions, and electrons, which are the majority carriers in the N-region, become minority carriers on entering the P-region. This injection of Minority carriers results in the current flow, opposite to the direction of electron movement. Range Type Qty COMPONENTS REQUIRED: S.No. 1 2 3 4 Name Diode Resistor Bread Board Wires Range Type Qty

60

REVERSE BIAS: On reverse biasing, the majority charge carriers are attracted towards the terminals due to the applied potential resulting in the widening of the depletion region. Since the charge carriers are pushed towards the terminals no current flows in the device due to majority charge carriers. There will be some current in the device due to the thermally generated minority carriers. The generation of such carriers is independent of the applied potential and hence the current is constant for all increasing reverse potential. This current is referred to as Reverse Saturation Current (IO) and it increases with temperature. When the applied reverse voltage is increased beyond the certain limit, it results in breakdown. During breakdown, the diode current increases tremendously. PROCEDURE: FORWARD BIAS: 1. Connect the circuit as per the diagram. 2. Vary the applied voltage V in steps of 0.1V. 3. Note down the corresponding Ammeter readings I. 4. Plot a graph between V & I OBSERVATIONS 1. Find the d.c (static) resistance = V/I. 2. Find the a.c (dynamic) resistance r = V / I (r = V/I) = V2 V1 . I 2 I1

CHARACTERISTICS OF ZENER DIODE

To determine the breakdown voltage of a given zener diode. APPARATUS REQUIRED: S.No. 1 2 3 Name R.P.S Ammeter Voltmeter THEORY: A properly doped crystal diode, which has a sharp breakdown voltage, is known as zener diode. FORWARD BIAS: On forward biasing, initially no current flows due to barrier potential. As the applied potential increases, it exceeds the barrier potential at one value and the charge carriers gain sufficient energy to cross the potential barrier and enter the other region. the holes ,which are majority carriers in p-region, become minority carriers on entering the Nregions and electrons, which are the majority carriers in the N-regions become minority carriers on entering the P-region. This injection of minority carriers results current, opposite to the direction of electron movement. REVERSE BIAS: When the reverse bias is applied due to majority carriers small amount of current (ie) reverse saturation current flows across the junction. As the reverse bias is increased to breakdown voltage, sudden rise in current takes place due to zener effect. Range Type Qty COMPONENTS REQUIRED: S.No. 1 2 3 4 Name zener diode Resistor Bread Board Wires Range Type Qty

ZENER EFFECT: 64

Normally, PN junction of Zener Diode is heavily doped. Due to heavy doping the depletion layer will be narrow. When the reverse bias is increased the potential across the depletion layer is more. This exerts a force on the electrons in the outermost shell. Because of this force the electrons are pulled away from the parent nuclei and become free electrons. This ionization, which occurs due to electrostatic force of attraction, is known as Zener effect. It results in large number of free carriers, which in turn increases the reverse saturation current PROCEDURE: FORWARD BIAS: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Connect the circuit as per the circuit diagram. Vary the power supply in such a way that the readings are taken in steps of 0.1V in the voltmeter till the needle of power supply shows 30V. Note down the corresponding ammeter readings.
