    EM-I . Dc Generators
    EM-.1 Aim on the experiment:

    The object of this experiments is to : measure the following


    characteristics of DC generators

    1- No-Load characteristics ( Ea- Im) where Ea is the armature


    voltage , and the maximum excitation field current of the DC
    generator.

    Equipment

    M = D.C. Motor
    G = D.C Generator under test
    TG = Tachometer (to read The r.p.m.)
    Rmy = Shunt rheostat (220V, 2A, 440 Ω)
    Im = Ammeter - 1 A
    U = Voltmeter - 0,30,150,300 V
    F = Power supply

    Generator ratings:--------------------------------------------------------------

    Procedure

    1.1 Connect (M ) as D.C. motor and (G) as D.C. generator


    according with

    the circuit diagram.

    1.2 Note the ratings of the D.C. generator shown on the name
    plate. These rating must not be exceeded at any time during
    the laboratory exercises.

    1.3 Turn on the fixed D.C. voltage switch and adjust the shunt
    rheostat of the motor (M) to obtain the maximum excitation
    current of the motor.

    1.4 Adjust the shunt rheostat (R my) of the D.C. generator so as to


    obtain
    the minimum excitation current.
    1.5 Set the variable D.C. voltage control to zero and turn on the
    variable D.C. voltage switch. Then turn up the rotor voltage to
    230 V. The machine then starts and comes up to about 1500
    r.p.m. The machine should rotate in the direction of the arrow.

    2. Measure the NO-LOAD characteristic U=f(Im), i.e. the induced


    no-load voltage as function of the excitation current.

    2.1 Adjust the torque meter to bring the speed to 1400 r.p.m. this
    speed must be maintained constant throughout the experiment
    and must therefore be checked at every reading. Vary the
    excitation current (Im) in steps of 0.1 A from zero to maximum
    at every step read the excitation current (I m) and the induced
    voltage read on the voltmeter(U).

    2.2 Vary the excitation current in steps from minimum to


    Maximum and for every step make a note of the excitation
    current (Im), and (Ea)is the armature voltage the induced
    e.m.f. will differ owing to magnetic hysteresis in iron parts of
    the machine.

    Check the speed at every reading.

    2.3 Repeat steps 2.1 at speed of 1200 rev/min and fill results in
    Table 1.

    2.4 Draw on the same graph with a common Im axis the no-load
    characteristics for
    increasing and decreasing Im at both 1400 rev/min and 1200
    rev/min.

    Table 1.

    Question 1
    Why does the no-load characteristics differ for the increasing and
    decreasing Im?

    Question 2
    How the reduction in the speed from 1400 rev/min to 1200 rev/min
    has affected Eaat the same field current.

    Question 3
    Why does the No-Load characteristics differ for increasing and
    decreasing the excitation current.?
