Safety Instructions
• The Main Circuit Breaker should be switched OFF before you begin work on the circuits.
• DO NOT run wires over moving or rotating equipment, or on the floor, or string them across
walkways from bench-to-bench.

• Use wires of appropriate length. Do not allow them to drape over your equipment.
• Make sure that the instructor has checked all connections before switching ON the Simulator.
• Check the Main Power Supply Voltage for proper value before energizing the circuit.

• Always switch on the power source as a LAST step.

• DO NOT make circuit changes or perform any wiring when power is on.

• Do NOT pull wires out until you are absolutely sure that the circuit is completely dead. Shocks can
occur if an inductive load (motor or transformer) is disconnected while conducting.
• Under emergency conditions, use the “Emergency Power OFF” to switch off the main supply.
• DO NOT wear loose-fitting clothing, metal bracelets or watchstraps in the Lab. Rings and necklaces
are usually excellent conductors in excellent contact with your skin.
• DO NOT touch anything if your hands are wet.
• All conducting surfaces intended to be at ground potential should be connected together.
In the event of electrical shock:

• Do not touch the victim until the power has been shut off. Use the “Emergency Power OFF”.

• Do not remove the victim from the electric source until the power has been shut off.

• If you cannot shut off the power, use an insulator such as a dry rope, cloth or broom handle to
drag the person away from the live wire.

• If there is no heartbeat and no breathing, do CPR. (CPR to be performed by qualified personal

only). Get Emergency Care.

• If there is a heartbeat, but no breathing, immediately start rescue breathing. Get Emergency Care.

• Check for burns and treat as third-degree burns. Get Emergency Care.

• If the person is breathing, put them in the recovery position. Get Emergency Care.

• In the event of a mild shock, and the following symptoms are observed, see a doctor: Heart

Trainer Overview
The Trainer contains a three-phase synchronous machine and a DC generator. which are coupled to
driving motors (separately) in order to generate electricity. It is suitable for teaching and skills training
and assessment of related majors in vocational colleges
The three-phase induction motor carries a three-phase winding on its stator. The rotor is either a wound
type or consists of copper bars short-circuited at each end, in which case it is known as squirrel-cage
rotor. The three-phase current drawn by the stator from a three-phase supply produces a magnetic field
rotating at synchronous speed in the air-gap. The magnetic field cuts the rotor conductors inducing
electromotive forces which circulate currents in them. According to Lenz's Law, the EMFs must oppose
the cause which produces them; this implies that the rotor must rotate in the direction of the magnetic
field set up by the stator. If the rotor could attain synchronous speed, there would be no induced EMF in
it. But on account of losses, the speed is always less than the synchronous speed.
The induction motor drives a DC generator. The field of the DC generator is excited separately. Loading
the generator by means of a resistor load rack in turn loads the motor. When the motor drives a load, it
has to exert more torque. Since torque is proportional to the product of flux and current, with increasing
load the relative speed (slip) between the rotor and the rotating magnetic field must also increase.
The three-phase induction motor behaves as a transformer whose secondary winding can rotate. The
basic difference is that the load is mechanical. Besides, the reluctance to the magnetic field is greater on
account of the presence of the air-gap across which the stator power is transferred to the rotor. The no-
load current of the motor is sometimes as high as 30 % to 40 % of the full-load value. The performance
of an induction motor may be determined indirectly by loading a DC generator coupled to its shaft as is
done in this experiment.

Experiment #1
DC Generator.
Objective
• To obtain the characteristics of DC Generator.

Theory
A shunt generator is a type of electric generator in which the field and armature are connected in
parallels. When an input is given by the prime mover, the conductor is rotated in the permanent
magnetic field. Due to this, the current gets induced in the conductors placed under the influence of the
magnetic field. According to Faraday’s law of electromagnetic, an emf will be induced in the conductors
when a conductor is rotated in the magnetic field. The current induced flow through the armature
winding which is alternating. The output from the armature winding is always alternating and because of
the commutator, the alternating current is converted to the direct current.

The armature current is divided into two parts. One part is the shunt field current Ish which flows
through shunt field winding and the other part is the load current IL which goes through external load.

A current must flow in the coils to generate the field, otherwise no power is transferred to or from the
rotor. The process of generating a magnetic field by means of an electric current is called excitation.

𝐼𝑎 = 𝐼𝑠ℎ + 𝐼𝐿
𝐼𝑠ℎ 𝑖𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑒𝑥𝑐𝑖𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑐𝑢𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑡
𝐼𝐿 𝑖𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑙𝑜𝑎𝑑 𝑐𝑢𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑡

Also, the DC field current may be excited separately through a DC source like a battery so that the DC
generator also supplies the required energy for the field current.

As when the load is attached and the generator is started with the help of a prime mover, it develops
certain voltage due to the presence of residual magnetism. Due to this, residual flux is developed. So,
the generated develops certain no-load voltage. As the load current increases, the voltage developed
also increases and remains constant after reaching its saturation point. The resistance of the shunt type
generator is linear.

At no-load conditions, the generator’s terminal voltage will be stable.

The emf equation corresponding to the shunt type generator is given by

∅𝑍𝑁𝑃
𝐸=
60𝐴
Z = number of conductors,
𝑁 = 𝑠𝑝𝑒𝑒𝑑 𝑖𝑛 𝑟𝑝𝑚
𝐴 = 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑒𝑙 𝑝𝑎𝑡ℎ𝑠
𝑃 = 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑝𝑜𝑙𝑒𝑠
∅ = 𝑓𝑙𝑢𝑥 𝑝𝑒𝑟 𝑝𝑜𝑙𝑒𝑠
Characteristics

• Internal Characteristics

They are known by drawing a graph between induced emf and the load current.

Once the dc shunt generator is loaded, then flux for each pole can be decreased because of the
armature reaction. Thus, the emf that can be produced on load is low as compared to the emf produced
at no load. Consequently, the internal characteristics like E/Ia will fall down a little.

• External Characteristics

They are known by drawing a graph between induced emf and the load current.

As the load increases, the load current increases due to less resistance.

We know that 𝐼𝑎 = 𝐼𝑠ℎ + 𝐼𝐿 . From the equation, as the load current increases, the armature current

also increases. Due to the increase in armature current, the armature drops increases (𝑅𝑎 𝐼𝑎 ).

If we put these in equation 𝑉𝑇 = 𝐸𝑎 − 𝑅𝑎 𝐼𝑎 we can observe that the terminal voltage gets decreased.
𝑉
From the equation 𝐼𝑓 = 𝑅𝑇 we can observe as 𝑉𝑇 decreases the field current 𝐼𝑓 also decreases.
𝑓

From this The field winding of the machine depends on the terminal voltage.

The voltage at the terminal can be maintained constant by always regulating the R (field rheostat)
routinely.

• Open Circuit Characteristics

This curve is drawn between shunt field current (Ish) and the no load generated voltage (E0). For a given
excitation current or field current, the emf generated at no load (E0) varies in proportionally with the
rotational speed of the armature.

The external load resistance of the machine needs to be maintained greater than its critical value
otherwise the machine will not excite or will stop running if it is already in motion.
The curve of field current with no load voltage will bend slightly at the maximum point due to the
saturation.

Experiment #2
AC Generator.
Objective
• To obtain the characteristics of AC Generator.

Theory
Consider, an AC supply is connected to the stator terminals of an induction machine. Rotating magnetic
field produced in the stator pulls the rotor to run behind it (the machine is acting as a motor), Now, if
the rotor is accelerated to the synchronous speed by means of a prime mover, the slip will be zero and
hence the net torque will be zero. The rotor current will become zero when the rotor is running at
synchronous speed, If the rotor is made to rotate at a speed more than the synchronous speed, the slip
becomes negative. A rotor current is generated in the opposite direction, due to the rotor conductors
cutting stator magnetic field, this generated rotor current produces a rotating magnetic field in the rotor
which pushes (forces in opposite way) onto the stator field. This causes a stator voltage which pushes
current flowing out of the stator winding against the applied voltage. Thus, the machine is now working
as an induction generator (asynchronous generator).

Induction generator is not a self-excited machine. Therefore, when running as a generator, the machine
takes reactive power from the AC power line and supplies active power back into the line. Reactive
power is needed for producing rotating magnetic field. The active power supplied back in the line is
proportional to slip above the synchronous speed.

Self-Excited Induction Generator

It is clear that, an induction machine needs reactive power for excitation, regardless whether it is
operating as a generator or a motor. When an induction generator is connected to a grid, it takes
reactive power from the grid. But what if we want to use an induction generator to supply a load
without using an external source (e.g. grid)?

A capacitor bank can be connected across the stator terminals to supply reactive power to the machine
as well as to the load. When the rotor is rotated at an enough speed, a small voltage is generated across
the stator terminals due to residual magnetism. Due to this small generated voltage, capacitor current is
produced which provides further reactive power for magnetization.
