Theory
Swinburnes test:
It is a simple indirect method in which losses are measured separately and
the efficiency at any desired load can be predetermined. This test applicable to
those machines in which flux is practically constant i.e. shunt and compound
wound machines. The no load power input to armature consist iron losses in core,
friction loss, wind age loss and armature copper loss. It is convenient and
economical because power required to test a large machine is small i.e. only no
load power. The effect of commutation are not considered or tested. The iron
losses remains constant is insignificant.
Calculations:
IL = No Load Current
If = Shunt Field current
Then, no load armature current Ia = (IL If)
Also let, V is the supply voltage. Therefore, No load power input = IL watts.
Let

In Swinburne's test no load power input is only required to supply the


losses. The losses occur in the machine mainly are: Iron losses in the core Friction
and windings losses Armature copper loss.
Department of EEE-SVECW

Networks and electrical technology lab manual

Since the no load mechanical output of the machine is zero in Swinburne's


test, the no load input power is only used to supply the losses.
The value of armature copper loss = (IL If)2 Ra
Here, Ra is the armature resistance.
Now, to get the constant losses we have to subtract the armature copper loss
from the no load power input.
Then, Constant losses WC = V IL - ( IL If)2 Ra
After calculating the no load constant losses now we can determine the
efficiency at any load.
Let, I is the load current at which we have to calculate the efficiency of the
machine.
Then, armature current (Ia) will be (I If), when the machine is motoring.
And Ia = (I + If), when the machine is generating.

The parameters of the equivalent circuit.


The voltage regulation and
Efficiency.

The power required during these two tests is equal to the appropriate power loss
occurring in the transformer.
Open-circuit (or) no-load test:
The circuit diagram for performing open circuit test on a single-phase transformer
is as shown in fig.1. In this diagram a voltmeter, wattmeter and an ammeter are
shown, which are connected on the low voltage side of the transformer. The high
voltage side is left open circuited. The rated frequency voltage applied to the
primary .i.e. low voltage side, is varied with the help of a variable ratio autotransformer. When the voltmeter reading is equal to the rated voltage of the low
voltage winding, all the three instrument readings are recorded. The purpose of
this test is to determine no-load loss or core loss and no-load current I 0 which is

is quite small 2 to 6% of rated current, the primary leakage impedance drop

is almost negligible. The applied voltageV1 is equal to the induced emf. V 11.the
input power given by the wattmeter reading consists of core loss and ohmic loss.
The exciting current being about 2 to 6% of the full-load current, the ohmic loss in
the primary Ie2.r1 varies from0.04% to 0.36% of the full-load primary ohmic loss.
In view of this, the ohmic loss during open-circuit test is negligible. Hence the
wattmeter reading can be taken as equal to transformer core loss.

transformer, to circulate rated current in the high voltage side. In a transformer, the
primary mmf. is almost equal to the secondary mmf., therefore, a rated current in
the high voltage side winding causes rated current to flow in the low voltage
winding. A primary voltage of 2 to 12% of its rated value is sufficient to circulate
rated currents in both primary and secondary windings. about half(1 to 6%) of the
applied voltage appears across the secondary leakage impedance. the core flux
induces the voltage across the exciting branch. the core flux is 1 to 6% of its rated
value. hence the core loss being proportional to the square of its value at rated
voltage. the wattmeter, in short-circuit test records the core loss and the ohmic loss
in both the windings. since the core loss has been provided to be almost negligible.
the wattmeter can be taken to register only the ohmic losses in both the windings.
at rated voltage, the exciting current is 2 to 6% of full-load current. when the
voltage across the exciting branch is 1 to 6% of rated voltage, the exciting current
may be 0.02% to 0..36% of its full-load current.
Voltage regulation of a transformer can be determined from the data obtained from
short-circuit-test. Data of both open circuit and short-circuit tests is necessary;

THEORY:
The regulation may be found by direct loading. The procedure is as follows:
Diagram the alternator is driven at synchronous speed and the terminal voltage is adjusted
to its rated value v. the load is varied until the wattmeter and ammeter indicate the rated
values at desired p.f. then the entire load is thrown off while the speed and field excitation
are kept constant. Hence regulation can be found from,
% regulation= (E0-V)/V *100
In case of large machines, direct loading becomes prohibitive. Some methods differ the noload voltage is found below:
(1) Synchronous Impedance (or) EMF method
(2) The ampere turn (or) MMF method
(3) Zero power factor (ZPF) method
All the methods require :(i) `armature resistance Ra
(ii) open circuit characteristics
(iii) Short circuit characteristics.

(1) Synchronous Impedance (or) EMF method:
In this, open circuit characteristics .is plotted from the given data. Similarly S.C.C is
drawn from SC test. It is a straight line passing through the origin. Consider a field current
(If), the OC voltage corresponding to this field current is E1. When winding is shortcircuited, the terminal voltage is zero. then whole voltage circulated the armature SC

(2) The ampere turn (or) MMF method:


This method also utilizes OC. & SC data in the sense that armature leakage reactance is
treated as an additional armature reaction. Now, field AT required to produce a voltage of v
on full-load is the vector sum of the following:
(i). field AT required to produce v on no-load. This can be found from OCC and (ii)
field AT required to overcome the demagnetizing effect of armature reaction on full-load.
(3) Zero power factor (ZPF) method:
This method is based on the separation of armature leakage reactance drop and the
armature reaction effects. It makes use of the first two methods to some extent. The
experimental data required is (i) no-load curve and (ii) full-load zero power factor curves
also called wattles load characteristic. It is the curve of terminal volts against excitation.
When armature is delivering full-load current at zero power factor. The reduction in

voltage due to armature reaction is found from above and (iii) voltage drop due to armature
leakage reactance XL is found from both. By combine these two, E0 can be calculated.
It should be noted that if we vector ally add to V the drop due to resistive and leakage
reactance (XL), we get E. if to E is further added. The drop due to armature reaction
(assume lag power factor.), then we get E0. The ZPF lagging curve can be obtained.

motor at practically ZPF (or) by loading the alternator with pure reactors (c) by connecting
the alternator to a 3-phase line with ammeters and watt meters connected for measuring
current, power and by so adjusting current with zero wattmeter reading.

Theory
The term speed control means intentional sped variation, carried out
manually or automatically. DC motors are most suitable for wide range speed
control and are therefore indispensible for many adjustable speed drives. The
speed of a motor is given by
Wm = (Vt-IaRa)/Ka
Where
Ka armature constant = PZ/2A and
is the flux per pole.
Hence it follows that, for a DC motor, there are basically three
methods of speed control and these are:
1. Variation of resistance in armature circuit
2. Variation of the field flux
3. Variation of armature terminal voltage.
Variation of the field flux: This method of speed control, also called as
flux weakening method or filed current control method gives speeds above
the base speed only. Base speed is nothing but the rated speed of the machine.
This is one of the simplest and economical methods and is, therefore
extensively used in modern electric drives. Under steady state running
conditions, if the field circuit resistance is increased, the field current and
Department of EEE-SVECW

Networks and electrical technology lab manual

hence the field flux are reduced. Since the rotor speed cannot change
suddenly due to inertia, a decrease in field current causes a reduction of
counter emf. As a result of it, more current flows through armature. The
percentage increase in armature current is much more than the percentage
decrease in the field current. In view of this, the electromagnetic torque is
increased and this being more than the load torque, the motor gets
accelerated. The disadvantages of this method are:
a. The armature may get over heated at higher speeds, because the
increased armature current results in more ohmic losses whereas cooling by
ventilation does not improve proportionally.
b. If the field flux is weakened considerably, the speed becomes very high
and due to these changes; the motor operation may become unstable.
Variation of armature terminal voltage:
If the voltage applied to the armature changes the speed changes
directly with it. Using this method, speeds below rated speeds are attained.
Procedure
1. Make the connections as per the circuit diagram.
2. Keep the field rheostat in minimum position and armature in maximum
position and close the DPST switch.
3. Bring the motor to rated speed using field rheostat.
4. At this point take a note of the voltmeter and tachometer readings.
5. Now start varying the armature rheostat in steps and for each step note
down the voltmeter and tachometer readings. Take 10 to 15 such readings and
bring back the armature rheostat to initial position.
6. Bring back the field rheostat to initial position. Using the armature rheostat
set the motor at rated speed.

Theory:
This is a direct loading test on motor. This is used for small motors only when
necessary. The motor is loaded directly by means of a belt and pulley arrangement. By
adjusting the tension of the belt, the load is adjusted to give the various values of
currents. The load is adjusted to get full load current. The power developed gets wasted
against the friction between belt and shaft. Due to the braking action of belt, this test is
called brake test. Hence in the case of shunt motor there is no drastic change in speed.
The Torque T = 9.81(S1 ~ S2) r N- M. where (S1 ~ S2) = the difference of spring
balance reading r = Break drum Radius P = Power developed. Hence directly the
efficiency = (Po/ Pi ) x 10
