Theory: Open circuit characteristics or magnetization curve is the graph between the generated emf
and field current of a dc shunt generator. For field cur-rent is equal to zero there will be
residual voltage of 10 to 12V because of the residual magnetism present in the machine If
this is absent there the machine cannot build up voltage to obtain residual magnetism the
machine is separately excited by a dc source from OCC we can get critical field resistance
and critical speed.

Critical field resistance: It is the resistance above which the machine cannot build up emf.

Theory: D.C. Compound generator consists of both series and shunt field wind-ings. The shunt
and series fields can be connected in two ways.
1. Short shunt.
2. Long shunt.
When the MMF of series field opposes the MMF of shunt field, the generator is differentially
compound. The terminal voltage decreases sharply with in-creasing load current. Evidently this
connection is not used.
In cumulative compound the connections of the two fields are such that their MMF’s added and help
each other. If the series field is very strong, the termi-nal voltage may increase as the load current
increases and it is called over com-pounding. When terminal voltage on full load and no load are
equal, it is known as flat compounded generator. If the series field is not strong, the terminal voltage
will decreases with increase in load current (under compound)

THEORY:

It is simple indirect method in which losses are measured separately and the efficiency at any desired
load can be predetermined. This test applicable to those machines in which flux is practically
constant i.e. shunt and compound wound machines. The no load power input to armature consist iron
losses in core, friction loss, windage loss and armature copper loss. It is convenient and economi-cal
because power required to test a large machine is small i.e. only no load power. But no account is
taken the change in iron losses from no load to full load due to armature reaction flux is distorted
which increases the iron losses in some cases by as 50%

Hopkinson’s test is also called as regenerative test or back-to-back test. It is an indirect test or full
test, which is used to determine the efficiency of the two identical shunt machines. The two
machines are mechanically coupled and are also adjusted electrically that are of then run as motor
and other as a generator. The two-shunt machines are connected in parallel. The power input from
the mains is only that needed for supplying the losses of the two machines. The two machines can

Theory:

Open– Circuit (OC) or No-Load Test:

The purpose of this test is to determine the shunt branch parameters of the equivalent circuit of the
transformer. One of the windings is connected to supply at rated voltage, while the other winding is
kept open -circuited. From the point of view of convenience and availability of supply the test is
usually performed from the LV side, while the HV side is kept open circuited.
Voltage =V1; Current =I0and power input=P0
Indeed the no-load current, I0is so small (itisusually2-6% of the rated current) and R01 and
X01are also small, that V1can be regarded as = E1by neglecting the series
impedance.Thismeansthatforallpracticalpurposesthepowerinputonno-load equals the
core(iron)lossi.e.,

P0=V1 I0 cos0

cos0 = P0/V1I0

Iw=I0 cos0,  =I0sin0

R0=V1/Iw, X0=V1 / I

Short Circuit (SC) Test:

This test serves the purpose of determining the series parameters of a transformer. For convenience
of supply arrange mentioned voltage and current to be handled, the test is usually conducted from
the HV side of the transformer while the LV side is short-circuited. Since the transformer resistance
and leakage reactance are very small, the voltage Vsc needed to circulate the full load
currentundershortcircuitisaslowas5-8%of the rated voltage. The exciting current under the second it
ions is only about 0.1to0.5%of the full load current. Thus the shunt branch of the equivalent circuit
can be altogether neglected. While conducting the SC test, the supply voltage is gradually raised
from zero till the transformer draws full load current. The meter readings under these conditions are:
Since the transformer is excited at very low voltage, the iron loss is negligible (that is why shunt
branch is left out), the power input corresponds only to the copper loss, i.e

Vsc=Voltage, Isc=Current, Psc=Power Copper loss)

Z01= VSC/ ISC=√R201 + X201
Equivalent resistance, R01=PSC/ (ISC)2

THEORY:

Sumpner's test or back to back test on transformer is another method for determining transformer
efficiency, voltage regulation and heating under loaded conditions. Short circuit and open circuit tests
on transformer can give us parameters of equivalent circuit of transformer, but they cannot help us in
finding the heating information. Unlike O.C. and S.C. tests, actual loading is simulated in Sumpner's
test. Thus the Sumpner's test gives more accurate results of regulation and efficiency than O.C. and
S.C. tests.
Both transformers are connected to supply such that one transformer is loaded on another. Primaries
of the two identical transformers are connected in parallel across a supply. Secondaries are connected
in series such that emf's of that are opposite to each other. Another low voltage supply is connected in

series with secondary’s to get of them are connected in voltage opposition, i.e. E EF and EGH. Both

the emf's cancel each other, as transformers are identical. In this case, as per superposition theorem,
no current flows through secondary. And thus the no load test is simulated. The current drawn from

V1 is 2I0, where I0 is equal to no load current of each transformer. Thus input power measured by

wattmeter W1 is equal to iron losses of both transformers.

i.e. iron loss per transformer Pi = W1/2.

Now, a small voltage V2 is injected into secondary with the help of a low voltage transformer. The

voltage V2 is adjusted so that, the rated current I2 flows through the secondary. In this case, both

primaries and secondary’s carry rated current. Thus short circuit test is simulated and wattmeter W 2
shows total full load copper losses of both transformers.

i.e. copper loss per transformer PCu = W2/2.

From test results, the full load efficiency of each transformer can be given as -
