Theory:

When the armature terminals of the motor are connected to and external source of D.C
supply; the field magnets are excited developing alternate N ad S poles. The armature conductors
carry currents. All conductors under N-pole carry currents in one direction while all the
conductors under S-pole carry currents in the opposite direction. Since each armature conductor
is carrying current and is placed in the magnetic field. Mechanical force acts on it. And applying
Fleming’s left hand rule, states that when a current carrying conductor is placed in a magnetic
field the conductor experiences a mechanical force as such a way force on each conductor is
tending to rotate the armature in anticlockwise direction. All these forces add together to produce
a driving torque, which sets the armature rotating. When the conductor moves from one side of a
brush to the other the current in that conductor is reversed and at the same time it comes under
the influence of next pole, which is of opposite polarity. The direction of force on the conductor
remains the same.

Characteristics:

The field current I sh is constant since the field winding is directly connected to the supply
voltage V which is assumed to be constant. Hence, the flux in a shunt motor is approximately
constant.
Speed Vs Torque Characteristics:

It is also known as mechanical characteristics. This curve is obtained by plotting the


values of N and Ta for various armature currents. There is a slight change in the speed of a shunt
motor from no load to full load. Hence it is a constant speed motor. The starting torque is not
high because Ta α Ia
Torque Vs Armature Current:

Ta α Ø Ia since the motor is operating from a constant supply voltage, flux Ø is constant
(neglecting the armature reaction), this characteristic is a straight line.
Model Graph:

Model Calculation:
Speed vs Armature Current.
The speed N of a motor is given by:

The flux in a shunt motor is almost constant under normal condition. So the speed of the
motor remains constant as the armature current varies. When the load is increased Eb = V – I a Ra
and Ø decrease due to the armature resistance drop and armature reaction respectively. However,
E b decrease slightly more than Ø so that the speed of the motor decreases slightly with load..
Procedures:

1. Connections are made as per the circuit diagram


2. After checking the no load condition, and minimum field rheostat position, DPST switch
is closed and starter resistance is gradually removed.
3. The motor is brought to its rated speed by adjusting the field rheostat.
4. Ammeter, Voltmeter reading, speed and spring balance readings are noted under no load
condition.
5. The load is then added to the motor gradually and for each load voltmeter, ammeter,
spring balanced readings and speed of the motor are noted.
6. The motor is then brought to no load condition and field rheostat to minimum position,
then DPST switch is opened.

Result:
Thus Load test on DC shunt motor was conducted and its efficiency was determined.
Speed Control
Aim:
To obtain speed control of DC shunt motor by
i) Varying Armature voltage with field current constant.
ii) Varying field current with Armature voltage with constant.

Theory:
DC shunt motor is one which converts electrical energy into mechanical energy in which
field winding is connected in parallel with the armature winding which works on the principle of
Faradays laws of electromagnetic induction. i.e. When a current carrying conductor is placed in a
magnetic field, it experiences a mechanical force whose direction is given by Fleming’s left hand
rule.

The equation governing the speed of a DC shunt motor is

Where , N = speed of the machine.


V = Armature voltage
Ia = armature current
Ra = armature resistance.
 = Field flux.
From the above equation speed can be controlled in two ways. One by changing the field
flux and by changing the armature voltage.
In field control method, we know that N  1/ .by decreasing the flux the speed can be
increased and vice versa. Introducing a rheostat in the field circuit of the machine can control
speed. By varying the rheostat we can get different values of field current or field flux and the
different speeds of the motor. Any further weakening of flux affects the commutation. Hence
puts a limit to the maximum speed obtainable by this method.
In armature control method, by introducing a rheostat in the armature circuit and by
varying the rheostat we can get different values of voltage across the armature circuit and we get
the different speeds of the motor. This method is the efficiency decreases as large power is
wasted in control resistance.

Procedures:

1. Connections are made as per the circuit diagram


2. After checking maximum resistance position of armature rheostat and minimum
position of field rheostat, DPST switch is closed.

1. Field current is fixed to various values and for each fixed value, by varying the
armature rheostat, speed is noted for various voltages across the armature.

3. The motor is then brought to no load condition and field rheostat to minimum
position, then DPST switch is opened.

Result:
Thus Load test on DC shunt motor was conducted and its efficiency was determined.

Theory:
The transformer is one which transformer energy from source to another without changes
in frequency. It works on the principle of mutual inductance when the transformer is loaded the
secondary current flows through the secondary windings. The load determines the magnitude of
i2. If it is a resistive load i2 is in phase with the v2.there exist a secondary mmf n2i2 due to which
secondary current sets up its own flux  2. This opposes main flux  produced in the core due to
magnetizing component of no load current. Hence the mmf n2i2 is called demagnetizing ampere-
turns.

The flux reduced the main fluxes  due to which the pry-induced emf e1 also reduces.
Hence the vector difference v1 –e1 increases due which pry draws more current from the supply.
The additional current drawn by primary is due to the load hence called load component of
primary current. This load component is in antiphase with i2. This load component sets up its
own flux2’ and opposes 2 and helps the main flux. This flux 2’ neutralizes the flux 2
produced by i2. The mmf n1i2’ balances the ampere-turns n2i2. Hence the flux in the core is
maintained constant.

Thus for any load condition no load to full load the flux in the core is practically constant.
The load component i2’ always neutralizes the changes in the load. As practically flux is constant
the core loss is also constant for all the loads. Hence the transformer is called constant flux
machine.

PROCEDURE:

1. The connections are made as per the circuit diagram.


2. After Checking the no load condition, Minimum position of autotransformer and DPST
Switch is closed.
3. Ammeter, Voltmeter and Wattmeter readings on both primary side and secondary side
are noted.
4. The load is increased and for each load, Ammeter, Voltmeter and Wattmeter readings on
both primary side and secondary side are noted.
5. Again no load condition is obtained and DPST switch is opened.

4 Connecting wires 2.5sq.mm Copper Few

Precaution:
Auto transformer should be in minimum voltage position at the time of closing and

Theory:

The actual performance characteristics of transformers can be obtained by conducting a


direct load test on them. When this as to be performed on the large rating transformers, the loads
of the required size may not be available, and the power consumed during this test will be very
large as the transformers are loaded up to 120% of their capacity. The time required to perform
such a test is also more .The same performance characteristics can be obtained by comparatively
easier method, which are known as indirect method or pre determination techniques.
To pre determine the efficiency and regulation of transformers, the open –circuit test to
determine the core loss and short circuit test to determine the full load copper loss are carried
out. Assuming the output and load power factor the efficiency at different loads are computed.
The regulation on full load for assumed different load power factors can also be computed. The
data obtained from this test are also useful to find the equivalent circuit parameters. The results
obtained from these tests are almost closer to the actual values obtained by direct load test.

Precautions:

1. Field rheostat of the motor should be kept in the minimum position at the time of
starting and stopping.
2. Field rheostat of the generator should be kept in the maximum position at the time
of starting and stopping.

Theory:
The external characteristic is the graph of the terminal voltage against load current. The
internal characteristic is the graph of the generated emf against the armature current. While
plotting both the characteristics, the speed N of the generator is maintained constant. In most of
the cases, the shunt field current is very small as compared with load current. Hence in practice,
the internal characteristics shows the graph of the induced emf against load current instead of
armature current neglecting shunt current.
Ideally the induced emf is dependent on the load current or armature current. But as the
load current increases, the armature current increases to supply load demand. As armature
current increases the armature flux increases. This distorts the main flux more and more. Hence
the generated emf decreases due to this armature reaction.
For DC shunt generator we know that, E = V + IaRa neglecting other drops. So as load
current Il, Ia increases. Thus the drop IaRa increases and the terminal voltages= E - IaRa
decreases. But the value of armature resistance is very small; the drop in terminal voltage as I l
changes from no load to full load is very small. Hence the DC shunt generator is called constant
voltage generator.

THEORY:
DC series motor is one which converts electrical energy into mechanical energy in which
field winding is connected in series with the armature winding which works on the principle of
Faradays laws of electromagnetic induction. i.e. When a current carrying conductor is placed in a
magnetic field, it experiences a mechanical force whose direction is given by Fleming’s left hand
rule.
We know that Ta  Ia, in this case field windings also carry the armature current,  Ia
hence Ta  Ia2. At light loads, Ia and hence is small. But as I a increases Ta increases as the square
of the armature current. Hence Ta / Ia curve is parabola. After saturation  is almost independent
of Ia hence Ta  Ia only .so the characteristics becomes a straight line. The shaft torque T sh is less
than armature torque due to stray losses. Hence in cases where huge starting torque is required
for accelerating heavy masses quickly as in hoists and electric trains, series motor is used.
N  Eb/ change in Eb for various load currents is small and hence may be neglected for
the time being. With increased Ia ,  also increases. Hence, speed varies inversely as armature
current.
When the load is heavy Ia is large. Hence, speed is low this decreases Eb and allows more
armature current to flow. But when load current and hence Ia falls to a small value, speed
becomes dangerously high. Hence a series motor should never be started without some
mechanical load on it. Otherwise it may develop excessive speed and get damaged due to heavy
centrifugal forces so produced. It should be noted that series motor is a variable speed.
It should be noted that when speed is high torque would be low.

Procedures:

1. Connections are made as per the circuit diagram

Theory:

There are two types of induction motor squirrel cage type rotor and slip ring type rotor is
also called wound rotor type .The rotor has a proper 3 phase winding with three leads brought
out through slip rings and brushes. These leads are normally short circuited when the motor is
running. Resistance are introduced in the rotor circuit Via the slip rings at the time of starting to
improve the starting torque that is not possible in cage type motor. The rotating field created by
stator winding moves past the shorted rotor conductors inducing the current in the latter. These
induced current produce their own fields which rotates at the same speed with respect to the
stator as the stator produced field. Torque is developed by the interaction of these two relatively
stationary fields .The rotor runs at a speed close to synchronous but always slightly lower than it.

Procedure:

1) The circuit connections are made as per the circuit diagram.


2) The motor is started using star delta starter.

STUDY OF AC MOTOR STARTERS

Aim:

To study the operating principle of AC motor starters.

Starting Induction Motors:

When the supply is connected to the stator of a three-phase induction motor, a rotating
magnetic field is produced and the rotor starts rotating. Thus, a three-phase induction motor is
self-starting. At the time of starting the motor slip is unity and the

Starting current is very large. The purpose of a starter is not to start the motor as the name
implies. The starter of the motor perform two function:
1. To reduce the heavy starting current.
2. To provide overload and no-load protection.

In general, three-phase induction motors may be started either by connecting the motor
directly to the full voltage of the supply or by applying a reduced voltage to the motor
during starting period. The torque of an induction motor is proportional
To the square of the applied voltage. Thus, a greater torque is exerted by a motor

When it is started on full voltage than when it is started on reduced voltage.

Starting Of Cage Motors:

The following are the commonly used starters for cage motors:

1. Direct on-line starter.


2. Star-delta starter.
3. Autotransformer starter.

Direct – On – Line Starter:

In the direct-on-line method of starting cage motors, the motor is connected by means of
a starter across the full supply voltage. Figure shows the connections for one type of the direct-
on-line(D.O.L) starter. It consists of a coil-operated contactor C controlled by start and stop push
buttons, which may be installed at convenient places remote from the starter. On pressing the
START push button s1 (which is normally held Open by a spring) the contactor coil C is
energized from two line conductors L1 and L2.

The three main contacts M and the auxiliary contact A close and the terminals a and b are
Short-circuited. The motor is thus connected to the supply. When the pressure on s1 is
released, it moves back under spring action. Even than the coil C remains energized
through ab. Thus, the main contacts M remain closed and the motor continues to get
supply. For this reason, contact A is called hold-on-contact.
When the STOP push button S2 (which is normally held closed by spring) is pressed, the
supply through the contactor coil C is disconnected. Since the coil C is de-energised, the main
contacts M and auxiliary contact A are opened. The supply to motor Is disconnected and the
motor stops.

Undervoltage protection

When the voltage falls below a certain value, or in the event of failure of supply.
During motor operation, the coil C is de-energized. The motor is than disconnected from
the supply.

Overload protection

In case of an overload on the motor, one or all the overload coil(O.L.C) are energized .The
normally closed contact D is opened and the contactor coil c is energized to disconnect the
supply to the motor.Fuses are provided in the circuit for short circuit protection.

Direct on line starting is a simple and cheap method .The starting current may be
as large as 10 times the full load current and the starting torque is equal to full load
torque .such a large starting current produces excessive voltage drop in the line supplying
the motor. Small motors upto 5kw rating may be started by D.O.L. starters to avoid supply
voltage fluctuations.

Star- Delta Starter:

This is a very common type of starter and extensively used, compared to the other types
of the starter. A star- delta starter is used for a cage motor designed to run normally on delta-
connected stator winding. The connections of a three-phase induction motor with a star-delta
starter. When the switch S is in the START position, the stator windings are connected in STAR
When the motor picks up Speed, say 80 per cent of its rated value, the changeover switch S is
thrown quickly to the RUN position which connects the stator windings in DELTA By
connecting the Stator windings, first in star and than in delta ,the line current drawn by the motor
at starting is reduced to one third as compared to starting current with the windings connected in
delta .At the time of stating when the stator windings are star connected ,each stator phase gets a
voltage Vl/√3,where Vl is the line voltage .since the Torque developed by an induction motor is
proportional to the square of the applied voltage, star delta starting reduces the starting torque to
one third that obtainable by direct delta starting.

Auto-Transformer Starter:

An auto-transformer starter is suitable for both star-and delta connected motorsIn this
method, the starting current is limited by using a three-phase auto-transformer to Reduce the
initial stator applied voltage. The motor with the auto-transformerStarter. The auto-transformer is
provided with a number of tappings.

In practice, the starter is connected to one particular tapping to obtain the most suitable
starting voltage. A double throw switch S is used to connect the auto-transformer In the circuit
for starting. When the handle H of the switch S in the START position, the Primary of the auto-
transformer is connected to the supply line and the motor is connected to the secondary of the
auto-transformer. When the motor picks up the speed,Say to about 80 per cent of its rated value,
the handle H is quickly moved to the RUN Position. The autotransformer is disconnected from
the circuit and the motor is directly

Connected to the line and gets its full rated voltage. The handle is held in the RUN position by
the under-voltage rely. In case the supply voltage fails or falls below a certain value, the handle
is released and returns to the OFF position. Overload protection by Thermal overload relays.

Slip Ring Induction Motor Starter:

The rotor windings are connected in star. The open ends of the star circuit are
brought outside the rotor and connected to three insulated slip rings. The slip rings are
mounted on the shaft with brushes resting on them. The brushes are connected to three
variable resistors connected in star. The purpose of slip rings and brushes is to provide a
means for connecting external resistors in the rotor circuit .The resistor enable the
variation of each rotor phase resistance to serve two purpose.
1) To increase the starting torque and decrease the starting current from the supply.
2) To control the speed of the motor.

The connection of a 3 phase slip ring induction motor with a starter. Full supply voltage is

connected across the stator .Full starting resistances are connected ,and thus the supply

current to the stator is reduced .The rotor begins to rotate and the rotor resistance are

gradually cut out as the motor speed up. When the motor is running at its rated full speed ,

the starting resistance are cut out completely and the slip rings are short circuited.

Result: Thus the study of Ac motor starters are done

STABILITY ANALYSIS OF LINEAR SYSTEM

Aim:
To analyze the stability of linear system using Bode/Root locus/Nyquist plot.

Equipment Required:
System with MATLAB

Theory:
Root Locus:

In control theory, the root locus is the locus of the poles and zeros of a transfer function as the
system gain K is varies on some interval. The root locus is a useful tool for analyzing signals input single
output (SISO) linear dynamic systems. A system is stable if all of its poles are in the left-hand side of the
s-plane (for continuous systems) or inside the unit circle of the z-plane (for discrete systems)
In addition to determining the stability of the system, the root locus can be used to identify the damping
ratio and natural frequency of a system. Where lines of constant damping ratio can be drawn radially
from the origin and lines of constant natural frequency can be drawn as arcs whose center points coincide
with the origin. By selecting a point along the root locus that coincides with a desired damping ratio and
natural frequency a gain can be calculated and implemented in the controller.

Nyquist plot:

A Nyquist plot is used in automatic control and signal processing for assessing the stability of a system
with feedback. It is represented by a graph in polar coordinated in which the gain and phase of a
frequency response are plotted. The plot of these phasor quantities shows the phase as the angle and the
magnitude as the distance from the origin. This plot combines the two types of Bode plot (magnitude and
phase )on a single graph, with frequency as a parameter along the curve. The Nyquist plot is named after
Harry Nyquist, a former engineer at Bell Laboratories.

Assessment of the stability of a closed loop negative feedback system is done by applying the Nyquist
stability criterion to the Nyquist plot of the open loop system. This method is easily applicable even for
systems with delays which may appear difficult to analyze by means of other methods.

Nyquist and related plots are classic methods of assessing stability, but have been supplemented of
supplanted by computer-based mathematical tools in recent year. Such plots remain a convenient method
for an engineer to get an intuitive feel for a circuit.

Bode plot:

A Bode magnitude plot is a graph of log magnitude versus frequency, plotted with a log frequency axis,
to show the transfer function or frequency response of a linear, time invariant system. The Bode plot is

named after Hendrik Wade Bode. It is usually a combination of a Bode magnitude plot and Bode phase
plot.
