SAFETY RULES

The following general rules and precautions are to be observed at all times in
the laboratory. These rules are for the benefit of the experimenter as well as
those around him/her. Additional rules and precautions may apply to a
particular laboratory.

1) There must be at least two personnel in the laboratory while working on


live circuits.
2) Shoes must be worn at all times.
3) Remove all loose conductive jewellery and trinkets, including rings, which
may come in contact with exposed circuits. (Do not wear long loose ties,
scarves, or other loose clothing around machines).
4) Consider all circuits to be "hot" unless proven otherwise.
5) Never hurry. Haste causes many accidents.
6) Always see that power is connected to your equipment through a circuit
breaker.
7) Connect the power source last.
8) Disconnect the power source first.
9) When using a multiple range meter always use the high range first to
determine the feasibility of using a lower range.
10) Check the current rating of all rheostats before use. Make sure that no
current overload will occur as the rheostat setting is changed.
11) Never overload any electrical machinery by more than 25% of the rated
voltage or current for more than a few seconds.
12) Select ratings of a current coil (CC) and potential coil (PC) in a wattmeter
properly before connecting in a test circuit.
13) Never make wiring changes on live circuits. Work deliberately and
carefully and check your work as you proceed.

EED/EE305-EMLAB-1/CHR iii
14) When making measurements, form the habit of using only one hand at a
time. No part of a live circuit should be touched by the bare hand.
15) Keep the body, or any part of it, out of the circuit. Where interconnecting
wires and cables are involved, they should be arranged so people will not
trip over them.
16) Be as neat a possible. Keep the work area and workbench clear of items
not used in the experiment.
17) Always check to see that the power switch is OFF before plugging into the
outlet. Also, turn instrument or equipment OFF before unplugging from
the outlet.
18) When unplugging a power cord, pull on the plug, not on the cable.
19) When disassembling a circuit, first remove the source of power.
20) No ungrounded electrical or electronic apparatus is to be used in the
laboratory unless it is double insulated or battery operated.
21) Keep fluids, chemicals, and beat away from instruments and circuits.
22) Report any damages to equipment, hazards, and potential hazards to the
laboratory instructor.
23) If in doubt about electrical safety, see the laboratory instructor.
Regarding specific equipment, consult the instruction manual provided by
the manufacturer of the equipment. Information regarding safe use and
possible- hazards should be studied carefully.

A. DRESS CODE:

1. Students should not wear loose and flowing robes while conducting
experiments in the electrical machines laboratory. They should also avoid
bathroom slippers and wear appropriate footwear.

B. PREPARATION FOR THE LABORATORY:

2. A student must be well prepared for the experiment he/she is going to conduct
in the laboratory. He/she should carry an observation notebook, which is
exclusively meant for the laboratory. The following items must be clearly
written/drawn/ indicated pertaining to the experiment that is being conducted:

a) Aim of the experiment


b) Apparatus needed
c) A neatly drawn circuit diagram
d) The fixation of the type and range of various meters
e) Precautions
f) Procedure
g) Tables for observations
h) Model calculations
i) Expected graphs

3. It is mandatory for students to carry calculators and graph sheets along with
the observation notebook.

4. Students must also bring the folder pertaining to the previous experiment,
failing which their entry into the laboratory is summarily rejected.

C. DURING THE LABORATORY SESSION:

5. Upon entering the lab, the faculty judge the preparedness of students by posing
questions related to the experiment with due emphasis on the procedure,
precautions, and the theory behind the experiment.

6. The students are expected to fix the type and ranges of the meters. In case it
is already indicated in the manual (correctly), they are expected to justify
them.

EED/EE305-EMLAB-1/PS v
7. Students are permitted to carry out the experiment only after answering all
the questions posed by the faculty members. In case they don’t, they are given
one more chance to ponder over the questions and get back to the faculty.

8. Upon getting the clearance from the faculty, students are expected to fill out
the indent form to draw the meters and components from the stores.

9. The students are then expected to make tight connections. The correctness of
these connections is then verified by the faculty.

10. Faculty may choose to pose further questions to students at the test bench to
judge their confidence levels and presence of mind during the experiment.

11. Students/faculty are expected to verify the general settings pertaining to the
experiments before the start of experiments. These typically include the
position of starters, field regulating rheostats, positions of autotransformers,
loading rheostats, etc.,.

12. The experiment is then conducted according to the procedure described in the
manual.

13. Care is exercised while taking measurements. Students should note zero errors
in the meters (if any) before taking the readings. They should take the readings
without parallax error and they should avoid leaning on to panels /loading
rheostats and co-students.

D. AFTER CONDUCTING THE EXPERIMENT:

14. Students show the observations to the faculty and upon their approval, proceed
to make the required calculations.

15. Students are then expected to draw pertinent graphs and then show them to
the faculty.

16. If any abnormalities are found, students may have to verify the veracity of the
observations/calculations.

E. AFTER THE LABORATORY SESSION:

17. Students are expected to document the experiment in the form of a folder.
The format of the folder is well described in the manual. The folder, which is
complete in all respects must be submitted in the subsequent session.

3) Measure the speed of motor using tachometer. If the speed is less than the
rated speed, adjust the field regulator (rheostat) in the motor to obtain the
rated speed.
4) Adjust the field regulator (rheostat) of generator and note down the

generator.
6) Generated voltage across the armature under no field excitation (due to
residual magnetism) should also be tabulated.
7) Generator field rheostat should be adjusted to maximum resistance position.
Reduce the speed by adjusting the motor field rheostat to minimum
resistance position and then the supply is switched OFF.

SUMPNER’S TEST ON A SINGLE PHASE TRANSFORMER


AIM:
To determine the efficiency of a transformer by conducting Sumpner’s test.

APPARATUS REQUIRED:

S.No Name of apparatus Type Range Quantity

PRECAUTIONS:
1. The auto transformer should be in minimum voltage position.
2. The voltmeter (V3) may read zero due to inherent fault in it. It is always
advisable to connect one of the transformer.

PROCEDURE:

1. Make the connections as per the circuit diagram.


2. Apply the rated voltage to the primaries of transformers by adjusting the
setting of auto transformer (AT1).
3. Check the voltage recorded by (V3). If it is zero, the secondaries are
connected in series opposition. If it reads twice the secondary rated voltage
the windings are not properly connected, then interchange the connections
at the secondary terminals of the transformers. Close the switch ‘S’ after
verifying that (V3) reads zero.
4. Vary the secondary current with the help of auto transformer (AT 2).
5. Record the readings for different values of secondary current.
