Theory:
The principal purpose of a transformer is to convert ac power at one voltage level to ac power of
the same frequency at another voltage level. Transformers are also used for a variety of other
purposes (e.g. voltage sampling, current sampling, and impedance transformation).
1. The magnetization current iM, which is the current required to produce the flux in the transformer
core.
2. The core-loss current which is the current required to make up for hysteresis and eddy current
Losses in the core.
Short Circuit Test:
1. Copper (I2R) losses. Copper losses are the resistive heating losses in the primary and secondary
windings of the transformer. They are proportional to the square of the current in the windings.
2. Eddy current losses. Eddy current losses are resistive heating losses in the core of the
transformer. They are proportional to the square of the voltage applied to the transformer.
3. Hysteresis losses. Hysteresis losses are associated with the rearrangement of the magnetic
domains in the core during each half cycle. They are a complex, nonlinear function of the voltage
applied to the transformer.
4. Leakage flux. The fluxes which escape the core and pass through only one of the transformer
windings are leakage fluxes. These escaped fluxes produce a leakage inductance in the primary
and secondary coils, and the effects of this inductance must be accounted for.
Procedure:
➢ First take single phase transformer and connect their primaries in parallel and their
secondary in such a way that current flowing through them is zero.
➢ When there is no voltage injected by regulating transformer and we gave supply to
primary winding at that time watt meter connected gives iron loss and ammeter gives no
load current.
➢ Now close the switch and injected the voltage to secondary winding by regulating
transformer so secondary shorted. At that time watt meter connected gives us copper
losses.

Theory:
Almost all the major power generation and distribution systems in the world to¬ day are three-
phase ac systems. Since three-phase systems play such an important role in modern life, it is
necessary to understand how transformers are used in them. Transformers for three-phase circuits
can be constructed in one of two ways. One approach is simply to take three single-phase
transformers and connect them in a three-phase bank. An alternative approach is to make a three-
phase transformer consisting of three sets of windings wrapped on a common core. A single three-
phase transformer is lighter, smaller, cheaper, and slightly more efficient, but using three separate
single-phase transformers has the advantage that each unit in the bank could be replaced
individually in the event of trouble. A utility would only need to stock a single spare single-phase
transformer to backup all three phases, potentially saving money.
Types of Transformers:
There are four basic types of three phase transformers w.r.t connections:
➢ Star-Star connection
➢ Star-Delta connection
➢ Delta –Star connection
➢ Delta-delta connection

Delta-Star connection:
In this type of connection, the primary connected in delta fashion while the secondary current is

The main use of this connection is to step up the voltage i.e. at the beginning of high tension
transmission system. It can be noted that there is a phase shift of 30° between primary line voltage
and secondary line voltage as leading.

In this type of connection, both the three phase primary and secondary windings are connected in

Objective: To study the different parts of induction motor and their working.
Induction Motor:
An induction motor (also known as an asynchronous motor) is a commonly used AC electric
motor. In an induction motor, the electric current in the rotor needed to produce torque is
obtained via electromagnetic induction from the rotating magnetic field of the stator winding.
The rotor of an induction motor can be a squirrel cage rotor or wound type rotor.
Induction motors are referred to as ‘asynchronous motors’ because they operate at a speed less
than their synchronous speed. So first thing to understand – what is synchronous speed?
Synchronous Speed:
Synchronous speed is the speed of rotation of the magnetic field in a rotary machine, and it
depends upon the frequency and number poles of the machine. The induction motor always runs
at speed less than its synchronous speed. The rotating magnetic field produced in the stator will
create flux in the rotor, hence causing the rotor to rotate. Due to the lag between the flux current
in the rotor and the flux current in the stator, the rotor will never reach its rotating magnetic field
speed (i.e. the synchronous speed)
Working Principle:
We need to give double excitation to make a DC motor to rotate. In the DC motor, we give one
supply to the stator and another to the rotor through brush arrangement. But in induction motor,
we give only one supply, so it is interesting to know how an induction motor works. It is simple,
from the name itself we can understand that here, the induction process is involved. When we
give the supply to the stator winding, a magnetic flux gets produced in the stator due to the flow
of current in the coil. The rotor winding is so arranged that each coil becomes short-circuited.
The flux from the stator cuts the short-circuited coil in the rotor. As the rotor coils are short-
circuited, according to Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction, the current will start flowing
through the coil of the rotor. When the current through the rotor coils flows, another flux gets
generated in the rotor. Now there are two fluxes, one is stator flux, and another is rotor flux. The
rotor flux will be lagging in respect of the stator flux. Because of that, the rotor will feel a torque
which will make the rotor to rotate in the direction of the rotating magnetic field. This is the
working principle of both single and three phase induction motors.
Types of Induction Motors:
The types of induction motors can be classified depending on whether they are a single phase or
three phase induction motor.
Single Phase Induction Motor:
The types of single phase induction motors include:
1. Split Phase Induction Motor
2. Capacitor Start Induction Motor
3. Capacitor Start and Capacitor Run Induction Motor
4. Shaded Pole Induction Motor
The rotor of the three phase induction motor are further classified as
1. Squirrel cage rotor
2. Slip ring rotor or wound rotor or phase wound rotor.
Depending upon the type of rotor construction used the three phase induction motor are
classified as:
1. Squirrel cage induction motor
2. Slip ring induction motor or wound induction motor or phase wound induction motor.
Applications:
Squirrel Cage induction Motor:
We use the squirrel cage induction motors in lathes, drilling machine, fan, blower printing
machines, etc
Slip Ring Induction Motor:
Slip ring induction motor are used where high starting torque is required i.e in hoists, cranes,
elevator etc.

THEORY
1. The equivalent circuit of a single-phase induction can be developed by using double field
revolving theory. By using the equivalent circuit, the single-phase induction motor can be
obtained.
2. The single-phase motor can be seen to be made of single stator winding and two imaginary
rotors.
3. The developed torque of the induction motor is forward torque and backward torque.
4. The resultant forward stator flux and the rotor flux produce a forward air gap flux. This
flux induces the voltage in rotor. Thus, due to the forward flux, the rotor circuit referred to
stator as an impedance of r2 /2s+Jx2/2.
5. When the single-phase induction motor is running and the direction of forward revolving
field at a slip S, then the rotor currents induced by the forward field has frequency fs, the
motor mmf rotates at slip speed with respect to the rotor but at synchronous speed with
respect to stator.
PROCEDURE:
1. A low voltage is applied to the stator terminals so that there in full load current in the
stator and the current voltage and I/P power are measured at the point.
2. When the motor is stationary, the slip S=1. The test is conducted at ¼ the rated frequency
because the rotor effective resistance at low frequency may different at high frequency.
As the current through the stator may exceed the rated current the test should be conducted
quickly.

Where 𝑇𝑓 = Full-load torque. 𝐼𝑓 = Full-load current.
𝐼𝑠𝑐 = Starting current. 𝑆𝑓 = Full-load slip.
2. AUTO-TRANSFORMER STARTER:
In this method reduced voltage is obtained by three-phase auto-transformer. Generally, 60 to 65% tapping
can be used to obtain a safe value of starting current. The full rated voltage is applied to the motor by
star connected auto-transformer. When the motor has picked up the speed up to 85 % of its normal
speed auto-transformer is taking out from the motor circuit as shown in Fig.
Let the motor be started by an auto-transformer having transformation ratio 𝑘. If 𝐼𝑠𝑐 is the
starting current when normal voltage is applied, and applied voltage to stator winding at starting is
kV, then motor input current, 𝐼𝑠𝑡 = 𝑘𝐼𝑠𝑐 and
3. STAR-DELTA STARTER:
In this method reduced voltage is obtained by star-delta starter. This method of starting is based up to the
principle that with 3 windings connected in star, voltage across each winding is 1/ √3 i.e., 57.7 %. Of
the line-to-line voltage whereas the same winding connected in delta will have full line to line voltage
across each. The star-delta starter is connected to the stator winding in star across the rated supply
voltage at the starting instant. After the motor attain the speed up to 85 % of its normal speed the
same stator winding is reconnected in delta through a changeover switch across the same supply
voltage as shown in Fig.
Since at starting instant, the stator winding are connected in star, so voltage across each phase
winding is reduced to 1/ √3 of line voltage and therefore starting current per phase become equal to

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
It is important and essential that all participants familiarize themselves and strictly follow all safety
precautions described in the safety regulations for electric machines experiments section before commencing
experiments.
OBJECTIVE:
➢ To study about the various methods of speed control of induction motor
SPEED CONTROL OF INDUCTION MOTORS:
Until the advent of modem solid-state drives, induction motors in general were not good machines for
applications requiring considerable speed control. The normal operating range of a typical induction motor
(design classes A, B, and C) is confined to less than 5 percent slip, and the speed variation over that range is
more or less directly proportional to the load on the shaft of the motor. Even if the slip could be made larger,
the efficiency of the motor would become very poor, since the rotor copper losses are directly proportional to
the slip on the motor.
There are really only two techniques by which the speed of an induction motor can be controlled.
One is to vary the synchronous speed, which is the speed of the stator and rotor magnetic fields, since the
rotor speed always remains near n sync. The other technique is to vary the slip of the motor for a given load.
Each of these approaches will be taken up in more detail.
The synchronous speed of an induction motor is given by:
120𝑓𝑠𝑒
𝑛𝑠𝑦𝑛𝑐 =
𝑝
So, the only ways in which the synchronous speed of the machine can be varied are (1) by changing
the electrical frequency and (2) by changing the number of poles on the machine. Slip control may be
accomplished by varying either the rotor resistance or the terminal voltage of the motor
Induction Motor Speed Control by Pole Changing:
There are two major approaches to changing the number of poles in an induction motor:
1. The method of consequent poles.
2. Multiple stator windings.
The method of consequent poles is quite an old method for speed control, having been originally
developed in 1897. It relies on the fact that the number of poles in the stator windings of an induction motor
can easily be changed by a factor of 2:1 with only simple changes in coil connections. Figure shows a simple
two-pole induction motor stator suitable for pole changing. Notice that the individual coils are of very short
pitch (60 to 90°). Fig shows phase a of these windings separately for more clarity of detail. Figure a show the
current flow in phase a of the stator windings at an instant of time during normal operation. Note that the
magnetic field leaves the stator in the upper phase group (a north pole) and enters the stator in the lower phase
group (a south pole). This winding is thus producing two stator magnetic poles.
Now suppose that the direction of current flow in the lower phase group on the stator is reversed. Then the
magnetic field will leave the stator in both the upper phase group and the lower phase group—each one will
be a north magnetic pole. The magnetic flux in this machine must return to the stator between the two phase
groups, producing a pair of consequent south magnetic poles. Notice that now the stator has four magnetic
poles—twice as many as before. The rotor in such a motor is of the cage design, since a cage rotor always has
as many poles induced in it as there are in the stator and can thus adapt when the number of stator poles
changes. When the motor is reconnected from two-pole to four-pole operation, the resulting maximum torque
of the induction motor can be the same as before half of its previous value or twice its previous value
depending on how the stator windings are rearranged. Fig shows the possible stator connections and their
effect on the torque-speed curve. The major disadvantage of the consequent-pole method of changing speed
is that the speeds must be in a ratio of 2:1. The traditional approach to overcoming this limitation was to
employ multiple stator windings with different numbers of poles and to energize only one set at a time. For
example, a motor might be wound with a four-pole and a six-pole set of stator windings, and its synchronous
speed on a 60-Hz system could be switched from 1800 to 1200 r/min simply by supplying power to the other
set of windings.
Speed Control by Changing the Line Frequency:
If the electrical frequency applied to the stator of an induction motor is changed, the rate of rotation of its
magnetic fields 𝑛𝑠𝑦𝑛𝑐 will change in direct proportion to the change in electrical frequency, and the no-load
point on the torque-speed characteristic curve will change with it. The synchronous speed ofthe motor at rated
conditions is known as the base speed. By using variable frequency control, it is possible to adjust the speed
of the motor either above or below base speed. A properly designed variable-frequency induction motor drive
can be very flexible. It can control the speed of an induction motor over a range from as little as 5 percent of
base speed up to about twice base speed. However, it is important to maintain certain voltage and torque limits
on the motor as the frequency is varied, to ensure safe operation. When running at speeds below the base
speed of the motor, it is necessary to reduce the terminal voltage applied to the stator for proper operation.
The terminal voltage applied to the stator should be decreased linearly with decreasing stator frequency. This
process is called derating. If it is not done, the steel in the core of the induction motor will saturate and
excessive magnetization currents will flow in the machine. To understand the necessity for derating, recall
that an induction motor is basically a rotating transformer. As with any transformer, the flux in the core of an
induction motor can be found from Faraday’s law:
𝑑𝜑
𝑉(𝑡) = −𝑁
𝑑𝑡
If a voltage v(f) = VM sin 𝑤𝑡 is applied to the core, the resulting flux Φ is
1
𝜑(𝑡) = ∫ 𝑉(𝑡)𝑑𝑡
𝑁𝑝
1
= 𝑁 ∫ 𝑉𝑀 sin 𝑤𝑡 𝑑𝑡
𝑝
𝑉𝑀
𝜑(𝑡) = − 𝑤𝑁 cos 𝑤𝑡
𝑝
When the voltage applied to an induction motor is varied linearly with frequency below the base
speed, the flux in the motor will remain approximately constant. Therefore, the maximum torque which the
motor can supply remains fairly high. However, the maximum power rating of the motor must be decreased
linearly with decreases in frequency to protect the stator circuit from overheating. The power supplied to a
three-phase induction motor is given by If the voltage VL is decreased, then the maximum power P must also
be decreased, or else the current flowing in the motor will become excessive, and the motor will overheat.
When the electrical frequency applied to the motor exceeds the rated frequency of the motor, the
stator voltage is held constant at the rated value. Although saturation considerations would permit the voltage
to be raised above the rated value under these circumstances, it is limited to the rated voltage to protect the
winding insulation of the motor. The higher the electrical frequency above base speed, the larger the
denominator of Equation becomes. Since the numerator term is held constant above rated frequency, the
resulting flux in the machine decreases and the maximum torque decreases with it. If the stator voltage is
varied linearly with frequency below base speed and is held constant at rated value above base speed, then
the resulting family of torque-speed characteristics is as shown in Figure. The rated speed for the motor shown
in Figure is 1800 r/min. In the past, the principal disadvantage of electrical frequency control as a method of
speed changing was that a dedicated generator or mechanical frequency changer was required to make it
operate. This problem has disappeared with the development of modem solid-state variable-frequency motor
drives. In fact, changing the line frequency with solid-state motor drives has become the method of choice for
induction motor speed control. Note that this method can be used with any induction motor, unlike the pole-
changing technique, which requires a motor with special stator windings.

Objective: To study the different parts of synchronous motor and their working.
Synchronous Motor:
Electrical motors are an electro-mechanical device that converts electrical energy to
mechanical energy. Based on the type of input we have classified it into single phase and 3 phase
motors. The most common type of 3 phase motors are synchronous motors and induction motors.
When three-phase electric conductors are placed in certain geometrical positions (i.e. in a certain
angle from one another) – an electrical field is generated. The rotating magnetic field rotates at a
certain speed known as the synchronous speed.
If an electromagnet is present in this rotating magnetic field, the electromagnet is magnetically
locked with this rotating magnetic field and rotates with the same speed of rotating field.This is
where the term synchronous motor comes from, as the speed of the rotor of the motor is the same
as the rotating magnetic field. It is a fixed speed motor because it has only one speed, which is
synchronous speed. This speed is synchronized with the supply frequency. The synchronous
speed is given by:
Ns = 120f/P
Where:
• N= The Synchronous Speed (in RPM – i.e. Rotations Per Minute)
• f = The Supply Frequency (in Hz)
• p = The number of Poles
Stator of Synchronous Motor
The main stationary part of the machine is stator. The stator consists of the following parts.
Stator Frame:
The stator frame is the outer part of the machine and is made up of cast iron. It protects the inner
parts of the machine.
Stator Core:
The stator core is made up of thin silicon laminations. It is insulated by a surface coating to
minimize hysteresis and eddy current losses. Its main purpose is to provide a path of low
reluctance for the magnetic lines of force and accommodate the stator windings.
Stator Winding:
The stator core has cuts on the inner periphery to accommodate the stator windings. The stator
windings could be either three-phase windings or single phase windings.
Enameled copper is used as the winding
material. In the case of 3 phase windings, the windings are distributed over several slots. This is
done to produce a sinusoidal distribution of EMF.
Rotor of Synchronous Motor:
The rotor is the moving part of the machine. Rotors are available in two types:
• Salient Pole Type
• Cylindrical Rotor Type
Salient pole Type Rotor:
The salient pole type rotor consists of poles projecting out from the rotor surface. It is made
up of steel laminations to reduce eddy current losses. A salient pole machine has a non-
uniform air gap. The gap is maximum between the poles and is minimum at the pole centers.
They are generally used for medium and low-speed operations as they have a large number of
poles. They contain damper windings which are used for starting the motor.
Cylindrical Rotor:
A cylindrical rotor is made from solid forgings of high-grade nickel chrome molybdenum steel
forgings of high-grade nickel chrome molybdenum steel. The poles are created by the current
flowing through the windings. They are used for high-speed applications as they have less
number of poles. They also produce less noise and windage losses as they have a uniform air
gap. DC supply is given to the rotor windings via slip-rings. Once the rotor windings are excited,
they act like poles.
Methods of Starting of Synchronous Motor:
2. Damper winding:
In this case, the synchronous motor is of salient pole type, additional
winding is placed in rotor pole face. Initially, when the rotor is not rotating, the relative speed
between damper winding and rotating air gap flux is large and an emf is induced in it which
produces the required starting torque. As speed approaches synchronous speed, emf and torque
are reduced and finally when magnetic locking takes place; torque also reduces to zero. Hence in
this case synchronous motor first runs as three phase induction motor using additional winding
and finally it is synchronized with the frequency.
Application of Synchronous Motors:
1. Synchronous motor having no load connected to its shaft is used for power
factor improvement. Owing to its characteristics to behave at any electrical power factor,
it is used in power system in situations where static capacitors are expensive.
2. Synchronous motor finds application where operating speed is less (around 500 rpm) and
high power is required. For power requirement from 35 kW to 2500 KW, the size, weight
and cost of the corresponding three phase induction motor is very high. Hence these
motors are preferably used. Ex- Reciprocating pump, compressor, rolling mills etc.

APPARATUS
• Synchronizing control panel
• DC shunt motor-Three phase synchronizing alternator couple set
• Tachometer
• Connecting leads/probes/jumper wires.
The synchronous circuit are classified as
• Dark lamp method
• Bright lamp method
• Bridge lamp revolving method
DARK LAMP METHOD
CIRCUIT DIAGRAM
PROCEDURE
1. The power CB is OFF.
2. There lamps are connected in above configuration.
3. As a result, the lamp simultaneously lights up and go out again in rhythm with the
frequency difference between mains and alternator.
4. By adjusting the alternator speed the required frequency equivalence can be produced.
5. It may prove necessary to adjust also the alternator voltage to that of the main by regulating
the exciter current. The double voltmeter is used to indicate this.
6. Now that the synchronization condition have been fulfilled. The power circuit breaker can
be switched ON. Where all the synchronization lamps go out and the alternator are
connected in parallel to the mains.
PROCEDURE
1. Power CB is OFF.
2. Modifying the circuit as to diagram and fulfill the three synchronization conditions.
3. As long as there is no frequency equivalence the light come of the synchronization inductor
a rotation in the counter direction means that the speed of the alternator is too low. The
power can be switched on where their lamp in the dark circuit configuration are out of the
raring light up equally brightly and the alternator is connected to the mains.
