engineering at first year level .To meet the needs of the light–current engineering industries
(electronics, communication, instrumentation, controls, computers, etc.) and to enhance the
employability of their graduates. The present course has been designed and developed to ensure
that the fundamentals of this course are well understood by students of all circuit branches.
Simultaneously, fundamentals of important topics, in major subject areas, have been discussed to
provide a foundation for the study of advanced topics, by students of various current engineering
disciplines in their subsequent programmes of study. This course ideally meets the requirement of
the first level course in ‘Basic Electrical Engineering Laboratory’. It is firmly believed that this
course will help students to overcome their initial apprehensions and initiate a life-long affair
with electrical and electronics engineering. It also presents a clear and concise exposition of the
principles and applications of electrical and electronics engineering. Faculty of BEE MRCET

Theory/principal: It states that the algebraic sum of currents


meeting at a junction of conductors is zero. In other words, the sum
of the currents flowing away from a junction is equal to the sum of
current flowing towards the junction. This law is illustrated in Fig.
1.1 where are six currents are I1, I2, I3, I4, I5 and I6 meeting at a
junction. Assuming the currents entering into the junction as
positive and currents leaving the junction as negative, we can take
the algebraic sum of all of these six currents and equate it to zero:

I1, + I2, + I3, + I4, - I5 - I6 = 0

Alternatively, we can write KCL as the sum of current flowing towards the junction
equal to the sum of currents flowing away from the
junction. Thus,

I1, + I2, + I3, + I4, = I5 + I6

Theory: For measuring power in a 3-phase circuit, two wattmeter method is usually employed.

Two wattmeter method is quite convenient for measuring power in the star or delta connected

balanced or unbalanced load of 3-phase. 3 wire system. The current coils of two wattmeters are

inserted in any two lines and the pressure coils of both are connected across the load. The

instantaneous total power is the sum (or difference) of the two wattmeter reading. One thing

should also be kept in mind that the direction of the voltage through the circuit should same as

that taken for current when noting the readings of two wattmeter.

Theory:

Transformer is a static device for transforming electrical energy from one AC circuit to

another without any change in frequency. It changes voltage from high to low and low to high

with a corresponding increase or decrease in current. If the voltage is increase it is said to be

stepped up. If it is decreased, then it is said as stepped down.

Efficiency of small rating transformer can be found using the direct loading method. In

case of large rating transformer since it is impossible to full load the transformer in laboratory. It

is difficult to determine the efficiency.

The induced emf per phase in primary and secondary winding of a transformer is given

by

Induced emf in primary winding E1 = 4.44fφT1

Induced emf in secondary winding E2 = 4.44fφT2

However E1 ≈ V1 And E2 ≈ V2

V 2 T2
Hence the voltage ratio V1 = T1

Theory:-

When the stator or primary winding of a 3-phase induction motor is connected to a 3-


phase A.C. supply, a rotating magnetic field is established which rotates at synchronous speed.
The direction of revolution of this field will depend upon the phase sequence of the primary
current and therefore, will depend upon the order of connection of the primary terminals to the
supply.
The direction of rotation of the field can be reversed by interchanging the connection to
the supply of any two leads of a 3-phase induction motor. The number of magnetic pole of the
revolving field will be the same as the number of the poles for which each phase of the primary
or stator winding is wound. The speed at which the field produced by the primary currents will
revolve is called the synchronous speed of the motor and is given by an expression...

NS = 120f/P RPM
For clockwise direction:
When phase direction is R-Y-B, then according the theory stator flux rotates in R-Y-B-R
direction, so rotor also moves in the clockwise direction.
For Anti-clockwise direction:
When phase direction is B-Y-R or Y-R-B or R-B-Y which is done by interchanging any two leads
of 3-phase supply to A.C. Induction Motor.
Then stator flux rotates in R-B-Y-R direction due to the change in the phase sequence the
rotation of flux in stator is anti-clockwise, therefore the rotor also moves in the anti-clockwise
direction.

replaced by their internal resistance . In case of case of A.C network load impedance should be
complex conjugate of source impedance.

Pre Experiment Questions:

1. Statement of Maximum power transfer theorem.

Procedure:

1. Connection diagram is shown above in figure , where R is fixed at some suitable value ,
load resistance RL is kept maximum and ammeter and voltmeter reading are note , Load
resistance RL is reduced to a very low value in steps and each time ammeter and
voltmeter readings are noted.
2. This process is repeated for different values of R.
3. For every value of R, curve is plotted between power consumed in the load resistance
and load resistance RL and from the curve so drawn the value of RL for maximum power
drawn is determined.

Theory:-

When single phase supply is applied across one single phase winding on the stator of a single
phase induction motor. The nature of the field produced is alternating and such the rotor will
not develop any starting torque. It has however been observed that once is given an initial
rotation it continues to rotate.
In a single phase motor, to provide starting torque, an additional winding is provided,
when is called the auxiliary winding. the main winding and the auxiliary winding are
connected in parallel across a single phase supply, The impedance of the two winding are made
deferent so that current flowing through these winding will have a time phase difference. The
two winding are not identical, the two current Im (main winding current) and Ia (auxiliary
winding current) will have a time phase displacement. Now if by any means the time- phase
displacement between the two current, Im and Is flowing through the two winding can be made
90°.

Reversing of Direction of Rotation:-

The direction of rotation of a split phase type induction motor having main and auxiliary

winding gets reversed if the current direction in any one of his winding is reversed. This is done

by reversing the two terminal connection of the auxiliary or main winding across the supply.

The leads of the main and auxiliary winding can be differentiated from each other by measuring

resistances of the two winding.

Pre Experiment Question:

1. Difference between single phase & three phase Induction Motor

Procedure:-

6. Connect the circuit according to the circuit diagram as show in fig.

7. Switch on the supply and start the motor with the help of starter without load.

8. Note the starting current, direction (clockwise & Ant clockwise) and speed of motor.

9. Change the connecting of any one winding and repeat the above procedure.

10. Switch of the supply to stop the motor.

Observation table:-

Clockwise Direction Anti-clockwise Direction

Result:

When we change the connecting any one winding, the motor runs in opposite direction.

Precautions:

6. All the connections should be tight.

7. Reading should be taken carefully.

8. Do not touch the live wires.

9. Measuring instruments should be taken of proper range.

Post Experiment Question:

2. Types of single phase Induction Motor.

3. Applications of single phase Induction Motor.
