THEORY:
The Sumpner’s test is conducted simultaneously on two identical transformers and
provides data for finding the efficiency, regulation and the effect of temperature rise.
Operation: The secondary’s of the transformer are in phase opposition with switch S1 closed and
switch S2 open, there will be no circulating current in the loop circuit. It is because the induced
emf’s in the secondaries are equal and in opposition. The reading of the wattmeter W 1 will be
equal to the core losses of two transformers.

CONCLUSION:
OBSERVATION:
AIM: Conduct an experiment to understand load sharing by two single phase transformer
connected in parallel.
APPARATUS REQUIRED:
THEORY:
The secondary emf of the two transformers are equal because they have the same turns ratio and
have their primary connected to the same supply.
The transformers are connected in parallel when the load on them is more than the rating
of individual transformer, generally smaller units are operated in parallel which share a common
load. The parallel operation is advantageous as they can be interchangeable in some conditions for
satisfactory. Hence polarity should be carried out for proper operation. The voltage ratio of
primary and secondary must be same. The % impedance should be same in magnitude and hence
same transformer ratio in order to avoid the circulating current and operating at different power
factor.

APPARATUS REQUIRED:
THEORY:
A Star-delta connection of transformer is mainly used in the substation and in
transmission line. The main use connection is to step down the voltage. The neutral available on
primary side is grounded. It can be seen that there is a phase difference of 30º between primary
and secondary line voltages. In this type of connection, primary is connected in star fashion and
the secondary is connected in delta fashion.

CONCLUSION:
APPARATUS REQUIRED:
THEORY:
As seen previously in connection of three single phase transformers that if one of
the transformers is unable to operate then the supply to the load can be continued with the
remaining tow transformers at the cost of reduced efficiency. The connection that
obtained is called V-V connection or open delta connection.
If one of the transformers fails in ∆ - ∆ bank and if it is required to continue the supply
eventhough at reduced capacity until the transformer which is removed from the bank is
repaired or a new one is installed then this type of connection is most suitable.
When it is anticipated that in future the load increase, then it requires closing of open
delta. In such cases open delta connection is preferred.
Key point : It can be noted here that the removal of one of the transformers will not give
the total load carried by V - V bank as tow third of the capacity of ∆ - ∆ bank.
The load that can be carried by V - V bank is only 57.7% of it. it can be proved as
follows.
It can be seen from the Fig. 2(a)
∆ - ∆ capacity = √3 VL IL = √3 VL (√3 Iph )
∆ - ∆ capacity = 3 VL Iph ................................................. (i)
It can also be noted from the Fig. 2(b) that the secondary line current IL is equal to the
phase current Iph.
V- V capacity = √3 VL IL = √3 VL Iph .................................. (ii)

CONCLUSION:
AIM: To determine the load shared by two transformers when they are connected in scott .
APPARATUS REQUIRED:
THEORY:
The Scott connection is the most common method of connecting two single phase transformers to
perform the 3- to 2- conversion and vice-versa. The two transformers are connected electrically
but not magnetically, one transformer is called main transformer and other is auxiliary or teaser
transformer. The main transformer is having 50% tapping and auxiliary transformer is having
86.6% tapping.
One end of primary winding of the auxiliary transformer is connected to the centre
tapping provided on the primary winding of the main transformer with equal number of turns on.
The voltage per turn is same in primary of both main & teaser transformer with equal
number of turn on secondary on both the transformer. The secondary voltage will be equal in
magnitude which results in symmetrical & phase system.

THEORY:
The KVA ratings of commercial alternators are very high (ex: 500MVA). So, it’s not
convenient to determine voltage regulation by direct loading. Therefore we have to determine
voltage regulation by indirect methods. These methods require very small power as compared to
direct loading method. The EMF and MMF methods are indirect methods.
In EMF method, we are determining the armature resistance Ra and synchronous
impedance
For some selected value of field current If. Then we are finding synchronous reactance
X s=X2 − R2 .a Once know about Ra and Xs draw the phasor diagram for any load and any power
𝑠
factor.
Taking Ia as reference phasor, then IaRa drop is in phase with Ia while Ia Xs leads Ia by 90º.
The phaser sum of V, IaRa and IaXs gives the no load emf E0.
E0= 𝑂𝐵 2 + 𝐵𝐶 2

The main drawback of this method is its approximate method. The reason is the combined
effect of XL (armature reactance) and XAR (reactance of armature reaction) is measured on short
circuit. Since current in this condition is almost lagging 90º, the armature reaction will produce its
worst demagnetizing effect. This method gives value higher than the value obtained from the
actual load test for this reason it is called pessimistic method.
In MMF method it is assumed that the armature leakage reactance to be additional armature
reaction neglecting armature resistance, this method assumes that change in terminal pd on load is
due to entirely armature reaction. Same tests (OCC and SC) required for this test also, but
interpretation of result only is different.
i) Suppose the alternator is supplying full load current at normal voltage V and ZPF lagging. Then
dc field amp-turn required will be those needed to produce normal voltage ‘V’ Let OA= field
AT required to produce the normal voltage ‘V’ at no load OB1= field AT required to neutralize
the armature reaction, then total field AT required are phasor sum of OA and OB, The OA can
be found from OCC and OB1 can be determined from SCC.
ii) At full load current of ZPF lead the armature AT are unchanged, since they aid the main
field, less field AT is required to produce the given emf
Total field AT, AB2=A0-B2O
B2O=field AT required to neutralize armature reaction. Here A0 is determined from
OCC and B2O from SCC.
iii) Between zero lagging and zero leading power factors, the armature mmf rotates through 180º
At UPF armature reaction is cross magnetizing only. Therefore OB3 is drawn perpendicular to
AO No AB3 shows the required AT in magnitude and direction.
This method gives a regulation lower than actual performance of machine. For this reason it is
known as optimistic method.

CONCLUSION
b) For OC Test:
OBSERVATION:
THEORY:
The regulation obtained by MMF and EMF methods is based on the total synchronous
reactance (The sum of reactance due to armature leakage flux and due to armature reaction effect)
This method is based on the separation of reactance due to leakage flux and that due to armature
reaction flux. Therefore, it is more accurate method.
Regulation by this method, the data required are i) Effective resistance of armature
winding ii) Open circuit characteristic iii) Field current to circulate full load current in the stator
iv) Zero power factor full load voltage characteristics- a curve between terminal voltage and
excitation while machine is being run on synchronous speed and delivering full load current at
zero power factor.A machine is run at synchronous speed by prime mover. A purely inductive
load is connected across the armature terminals and the excitation is raised so as to cause flow of
full load armature current. The value of reactance is increased in such a way that the excitation
current is adjusted to a value that causes full load rated armature current. The armature terminal
voltages are varied from 125% to 25% of rated voltage in steps, maintaining speed and rated
armature current constant throughout the test. The curve is drawn between terminal voltage and
excitation current, gives the zero power factor lagging characteristics. There is a definite
relationship between zero power factor lagging characteristics and an open circuit characteristics
of an alternator. The ZPF characteristic curve is of exactly of same shape as the OCC but it is
shifted vertically downward by leakage reactance drop IX L and horizontally by the armature
reaction MMF.

CONCLUSION:
OBSERVATION:
APPARATUS REQUIRED:
A salient pole synchronous machine has non uniform air gap, due to which its reactance
varies with rotor position. Thus salient pole machine possesses two axis of geometric symmetry i)
field pole axis, or d-axis or direct axis ii) Axis passing through the centers of interpolar space
called the quadrature axis or q-axis. Where as in cylindrical rotor machine only one axis of
symmetry (Pole axis or d-axis) in salient pole machines Xq= 0.6 to 0.7 times Xd. Where as in
cylindrical rotor machine Xd= Xq.
The value of Xd and Xq are determined by applying balanced reduced voltage say V volts
to an excited machine at a speed little less than synchronous speed (The slip is less than 1%).

phase sequence, all the lamps will flicker simultaneously. Otherwise, they flicker
alternately. If they flicker alternatively, the bus bar voltage switch is opened and any
two terminals of the bus bar supply are interchanged.
5. Repeat step number 2, 3 and 4.
6. By varying the rheostats R1, R2 and R3 the dark period of the lamps are obtained.
7. When all the lamps are in dark condition, the synchronization switch S3 is closed and
now the alternator is connected in parallel with the bus bar.
8. Switches (S3) and (S2) are opened; all the rheostats are brought back to their
respective initial positions, and supply switch (S1) is opened.
