DISCUSSION:

ONE OF THE PURPOSES OF WHY DISCUSSION IS NEEDED IS THAT

IT MAKES AN EASIER PROCESS THROUGH THE EXPERIMENT AND MORE

PRODUCTIVE OUTCOME, WHICH COULD HELP PEOPLE WHETHER

EVERYTHING ON THE EXPERIMENT IS RIGHT OR SOMETHING IS WRONG

AND COULD ALSO BE GUIDE OR WARNING.

IN OUR FIRST EXPERIMENT, THE IMPLEMENTATION OF

SYNCHRONOUS GENERATOR NO-LOAD OPERATION HAS BEEN

MADE.THIS EXPERIMENTSTUDIES THE CHARACTERISTICS OF EXCITED

SYNCHRONOUS MOTORS AND GENERATORS. SPECIFIC TESTS ARE RUN

TO DETERMINE EQUIVALENT CIRCUIT PARAMETERS, TORQUE, AND

POWER FACTOR CONTROL. THIS LAB SHOWS THAT SYSTEM DESIGN

CONSIDERATIONS MUST INCLUDE FREQUENCY, SPEED, POWER

FACTOR, AND VOLTAGE. ALSO ILLUSTRATED ARE IMPORTANT MACHINE

DESIGN PARAMETERS INCLUDING MAGNETIC CHARACTERISTICS AND

EFFICIENCY.

IN THIS EXPERIMENT WE WERE GIVEN TO BE ABLE TO

DETERMINE THE PHASESHIFT BETWEEN EACH VOLTAGE. SHOWN IN

FIGURE 1 IS THE CONFIGURATION THAT WE FOLLOWED IN ORDER TO

WE DETERMINE THE FREQUENCY OF EACH VOLTAGE.IN CONNECTING,

THE CIRCUITS BE FAMILIAR WITH US PRECISELY ITS SEEMS LIKE DC

MACHINE.WE FIRST CONSIDER TO SET THE EXCITER SWITCH TO THE

CURRENT POSITION AND THE EXCITER KNOB TO THREE QUARTERS OF

MAXIMUM.IN FIGURE 2 WE WILL VARY THE SPEED AND FIELD CURRENT

AND OBSERVED HOW THIS EFFECT THE NO LOAD OPERATION. IN

FIGURE 3 WE ALSO VARY THE SPEED OF THE SYNCHRONOUS

GENERATOR STEP BY STEP WHILE ALSO WE DETERMINED MANY OF

THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE THREE PHASE SYNCHRONOUS

GENERATORS.

IN THE FIRST RUN, WE WERE ABLE TO NOTICE HOW

VOLTAGE IS INCREASING AND HAS A PHASE DIFFERENCE OF 18.93. AS

WE OBSERVED THE FREQUENCE REMAINS 60 HZ AS WE CONTINUING

TO INCREASE RESISTOR FROM LOWER TO HIGHER VALUE. THE WE

RECORDED THE VALUE.

TABLE 1 SHOWS THE CHANGING THE EXCITATION ON THE GENERATOR

WILL CHANGE THE VOLTAGE AT THE TERMINALS BUT JUST A LITTLE. IT

HAS NOWHERE NEAR THE EFFECT THAT CHANGING THE EXCITATION

WOULD HAVE ON THE MACHINE WHEN IT IS NOT SYNCHRONIZED OR

CONNECTED TO THE SYSTEM.

TABLE 3: SHOWS THE FIELD CURRENT OF THE SYNCHRONOUS

GENERATOR HAS CONSTANT AT 0.49.WE ALSO VARY THE SPEED OF

THE SYNCHRONOUS GENETOR STEP BY STEPS.

OVERALL WE LEARNED TO DEMOSTRATE THE NO-LOAD

OPERATION OF A THREE PHASE SYNCHRONOUS GENERATOR USING

GENERATOR MODULE. WHICH ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO BEING AN

ELECTRICAL ENGINEER. THE VERY ESSENCE OF THE THIS EXPERIMENT

IS THAT WE ARE ABLE TO HAVE A REALISTIC VIEW OF THE THINGS

THAT WE DISCUSSED IN AC MACHINE LECTURE ABOUT SYNCHRONOUS

GENERATOR NO-LOAD OPERATION.

CONCLUSION:

ON THIS EXPERIMENT WE LEARN NEW DIFFERENT THINGS LIKE

THE FAMILIARIZATION OF SYNCHRONOUS MOTOR BY USING

MEASUREMENT OF CIRCUIT CURRENT AND VOLTAGES. WE SHOULD BE

ABLE TO FAMILIARIZE OURSELVES WITH THIS EXPERIMENT.IT CAN BE

CONCLUDED THAT THE INDUCED VOLTAGE ARE PROPORTIONAL TO

THE RATE OF CHANGE OF THE MAGNETIC FLUX LINKING THE STATOR

WINDINGS.

IN OTHER WORDS WE SAW THAT DECREASING THE

SYNCHRONOUS GENERATOR SPEED DRECREASES THE AMPLITUDE AND

FREQUENCY OF THE SINE-WAVE VOLTAGES.

THANKS BE TO GOD THAT WE ARE SUCCEED IN THIS

EXPERIMENT, WE ARE VERY HAPPY TO LEARN ABOUT THIS

EXPERIMENT.
