Lab #2 - Phase Sequence

This document describes a lab experiment to determine the phase sequence of a three-phase power supply. The experiment involved connecting resistor and capacitor modules along with an AC metering module to the power supply. Voltage measurements were taken across different terminals to determine the phase sequence was 1-2-3. Phasor diagrams were drawn to show the relationship between the power supply voltages. Additional tests confirmed the power supply was operating correctly by measuring voltages between 110-130 volts across different terminals. The conclusion was that the phase sequence was determined and the power supply was functioning properly.

Lab #2 – Phase Sequence

Abstract
Our objective for this lab experiment was to determine the phase sequence of a three-
phase source. The phase sequence of said source is the time order in which the three line
voltages obtain their maximum positive values. Phase sequences are important in three-
phase devices like sequence relays or varmeters. This will be done in two separate times; one
in terminals 1, 2, and 3 then the other in terminals 4, 5, and 6. The point of this lab is to
learn how to use the voltmeters of the AC metering Module when measuring voltage across
the terminals in the power supply.

Material:

 Power Supply Module EMS 8821 (2)


 Resistance Module EMS 8311
 Capacitance Module EMS 8331
 AC Metering Module (250/250/250V) EMS 8426
 Connection Leads EMS 9128

Procedure & Results


The first step of our experiment required us to use our EMS resistance, capacitance and
metering modules. We connected these modules to represent the circuit shown below. We
set each resistor to have a value of 300 and the capacitive reactance to 300.

Lab #2 – Phase Sequence

Figure 1: Phase Sequence Circuit Diagram.

Based on the voltage measurement values taken from E1 and E2, the phase sequence (1-2-3)
is determined for the circuit in figure 1. After finishing this setup, the power supply is turned
off. This time, terminals 4-5-6 are connected to the circuit in figure 1. Again, based on the
voltage measurement values taken from E1 and E2, the phase sequence is determined.

The next process in the experiment was to draw a phasor diagram. The phasor diagram was to
show the power supply voltages and how they relate to each other.
After finishing the first 4 parts, all wires are disconnected and the power supply is turned off.
Next, the three voltmeters from the AC metering Module are connected to the power
terminals 1-4, 2-5, and 3-6, respectively. Figure 2 shows the actual setup during the
experiment. Once the setup is made, the variable auto-transformer is completely rotated in
the clockwise direction. Once the power supply is turned back on, the variable auto-
transformer is now turned completely counter-clockwise. From this, each of the voltmeters
set at the 250 V range display values between 110-130 volts for terminals 1-4, 2-5, and 3-6.
The reasoning behind this is to test that the power supply is correctly working.

Discussion & Conclusion:

After running various tests, we were able to conclude that our power supply was
operating correctly. We also received a phase sequence of 1-2-3, which is much easier to
recognize and remember that way we don’t have to interchange any of the phase wires of the
wall receptacle where the power supply is connected. We also experimented with multiple
power supply modules. This was to become familiar with the voltages flowing through the
wall receptacles and see how each acted in order to perform further experiments.
