    mani
    This document describes a load test experiment on a DC shunt generator. The aim is to plot the external, internal, and armature reaction characteristics. It lists the required equipment, provides the relevant principles and equations, and includes a circuit diagram. The procedure describes connecting the generator and motor, adjusting the speed and voltage, and taking readings while varying the load to obtain measurements for plotting the characteristics. Sample calculations are presented to determine the armature resistance from voltage and current readings. The result and inference sections will report the outcomes and conclusions from the experiment.

    External characteristic is the plot of terminal voltage with load current at constant field
    resistance and speed. As the load on machine is varied ,the terminal voltage drop in it is
    due to
    1. The drop in voltage across the armature resistance ie. IaRa drop.
    2. Armature reaction the air gap flux decrease which will reduce the induced emf E0
    3. Bjh
    Internal characteristic is the plot of induced emf with the armature current. It can be
    deduced from the external characteristics as from

    PROCEDURE
    1. Connections are done as per the circuit diagram.
    2. Initially Motor field rheostat R1 is kept at minimum position and generator
    field rheostat R2 is kept at maximum position. Motor armature resistance at
    maximum position.
    3. After giving the supply the motor is started using the starter.
    4. The speed of the motor is made equivalent to the rated speed by adjusting
    the motor rheostats.
    5. Field rheostat of the generator is adjusted and the voltage is made
    equivalent to the rated voltage.
    6. Load switch is closed and the load current is changed by varying the load
    rheostat keeping the generator field rheostat R2 same.
    7. Corresponding meter readings are taken and the tabulation is done at rated
    speed.
    8. The load characteristics are plotted.
