Choke coil, Auto-transformer, rheostat, brief theory about 3-voltmeter method

3.4 Introduction
A given choke coil is usually represented by a pure inductance (L) in series with equivalent
resistance (r). This equivalent resistance takes into effect the iron losses in the core of the
choke coil and the inherent resistance of the choke coil. The choke coils parameters (r & L)
are measured using 3-voltmeter method; all choke coils have inherent resistance in addition to
their inductance. The quality factor and power absorbed by the given choke coil is also
measured. 3-Voltmeter method and 3-Ammeter method are two of the best ways to measure
these two parameters. Thus the equivalent resistance account for the copper loses in the choke
coil and the iron loses in the iron core.

3.5 Circuit Diagram

3.6 Procedure
Connect the circuit as per the circuit diagram.
Set single phase auto Transformer at zero voltage position before switching on the
supply.

Gradually increase the voltage using the auto-transformer till the supply voltmeter reads
rated voltage.
Now change the current through choke coil by varying the series rheostat of choke coil in
steps.
For each step note down the three Voltmeters and one Ammeter readings.

After noting the values slowly decrease the auto transformer till Voltmeters come to zero
voltage position and switch off the supply.
Calculate the parameters of choke coil for each current and tabulated in the tabular
column.
PRECAUTIONS:

There should not be any loose connections.


Meter readings should not be exceeded beyond their ratings.
Readings of the meters must be taking without parallax error.
Ensure that setting of the Auto Transformer at zero output voltage during starting.
