REGULATION OF THREE PHASE ALTERNATOR BY EMF AND MMF METHOD

AIM:
To predetermine the regulation of three phase alternator by EMF and MMF
method.

8 Connecting Wires _ _ 1 Set

THEORY:

The regulation of a 3-phase alternator may be predetermined by

conducting the Open Circuit (OC) and the Sort Circuit (SC) tests. The methods
employed for determination of regulation are EMF or synchronous impedance method,
MMF or Ampere Turns method and the ZPF or Potier triangle method. In this
experiment, the EMF and MMF methods are used. The OC and SC graphs are plotted
from the two tests. The synchronous impedance is found from the OC test. The
regulation is then determined at different power factors by calculations using vector
diagrams. The EMF method is also called pessimistic method as the value of regulation
obtained is much more than the actual value. The MMF method is also called optimistic
method as the value of regulation obtained is much less than the actual value. In the
MMF method the armature leakage reactance is treated as an additional armature
reaction. In both methods the OC and SC test data are utilized.

SEPERATION OF NO LOAD LOSSES THREE PHASE SQUIRREL CAGE INDUCTION MOTOR

AIM:

To separate the No load losses in three phase squirrel cage induction motor as core loss and
Mechanical loss

APPARATUS REQUIRED:

S.No Name of the Apparatus Range Type Quantity

1. Ammeter (0 – 10)A MI 2
2. Voltmeter (0 – 600)V MI 1
3. Wattmeter 600V/10A LPF 1
415V/
4. 3ф Autotransformer _ 1
(0- 470V)
5. Connecting Wires _ _ 1 Set

THEORY:

The no load losses are the constant losses which include core loss and friction and
Windage loss. The separation between the two can be carried out by the no load test
conducted from variable voltage, rated frequency supply. When the voltage is decreased below the
rated value, the core loss reduces as nearly square of voltage. The slip does not increase
significantly the friction and Windage loss almost remains constant.

The voltage is continuously decreased, till the machine slip suddenly begins to
increase and the motor tends to stall. At no load this takes place at a sufficiently reduced
voltage. The graph showing no load losses versus voltage is extrapolated to V =0 which gives
friction and Windage loss as iron or core loss is zero at zero voltage.

load and blocked rotor test.

THEORY:

An induction motor is simply an electric transformer whose magnetic circuit is

separated by an air gap into two relatively movable portions, one carrying the primary and
the other the secondary winding. Alternating current supplied to the primary winding induces
an opposing current in the secondary winding, when later is short circuited or closed through
an external impedance. Relative motion between the primary and secondary i.e., stator and
rotor is produced by the electromagnetic forces corresponding to the power thus transferred
across the air gap by induction.

NO LOAD TEST (OR) OPEN CIRCUIT TEST:

No load test is performed to determine the no load current, no load power factor,
Windage and friction losses, no load input and no load resistance and reactance. Since there is
no power output on no load, the power supplied to the stator furnishes its core loss and the
friction and wind age losses in the rotor.

BLOCKED ROTOR TEST (OR) SHORT CIRCUIT TEST:

It is also known as locked rotor or short circuit test. This test is used to find the short
circuit current with normal voltage applied to stator, power factor on short circuit, total
leakage reactance and resistance of the motor as referred to stator and full load copper loss.

NO LOAD AND BLOCKED ROTOR TEST OF SINGLE PHASE INDUCTION MOTOR

THEORY:

The equivalent circuit of a single phase induction motor can be developed by using
double field revolving theory. By using the equivalent circuit the performance of the single
phase induction motor can be obtained. The single phase induction motor can be visualized to
be made of single stator winding and two imaginary rotors. The developing torques of the
induction motor is forward torque and backward torque. When the single phase induction
motor is running in the direction of forward revolving field at a slip S, then the rotor currents
induced by the forward field has frequency sf. The rotor mmf rotates at slip speed with
respect to the rotor but at synchronous speed with respect to the stator. 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 has an
impedance of R2'/2s + jX2'/2.

NO LOAD TEST OR OPEN CIRCUIT TEST:

No load test is performed to determine the no load current, no load power factor, wind
age and friction losses, no load input and no load resistance and reactance. Since there is no
power output on no load, the power supplied to the stator furnishes its core loss and the
friction and wind age losses in the rotor.

BLOCKED ROTOR TEST OR SHORT CIRCUIT TEST:

It is also known as locked rotor or short circuit test. This test is used to find the short
circuit current with normal voltage applied to stator, power factor on short circuit, total
leakage reactance and resistance of the motor as referred to stator and full load copper loss.

3. Magnetizing component current (Im) = I0 SinФ0 amps
4. No load resistance R0 = V0 / Iw ohm
5. No load reactance X0 = V0 / Im ohm

THEORY:
In non salient pole alternators air gap length is constant and reactance is also
constant. Due to this the mmf of armature and field act upon the same magnetic circuit all the time
hence can be added vector ally. But in salient pole alternators the length of the air gap varies and
reluctance also varies. Hence the armature flux and field flux cannot vary sinusoid ally in the air
gap. So the reluctance of the magnetic circuit on which mmf act is different in case of salient pole
alternators. This can be explained by two reaction theory.
FORMULA USED:

1. Direct axis Reactance Xd = VMax / IMin, Ω

2. Quadrature axis Reactance Xq = VMin / IMax, Ω

3. Direct axis Impedance Zd = VMin / IMax, Ω

4. Quadrature axis Impedance Zq = VMax / IMin , Ω

MEASUREMENT OF NEGATIVE SEQUENCE AND ZERO SEQUENCE IMPEDANCE OF
ALTERNATOR

AIM:
Determination of negative sequence and zero sequence Impedance of a synchronous
generator.
APPARATUS REQUIRED:

THEORY:
When a synchronous generator is carrying an unbalanced load its
operation may be analyzed by symmetrical components. In a synchronous machine
the sequence current produce an armature reaction which is stationary with respect
to reactance and is stationary with respect to field poles. The component currents
therefore encounter exactly same as that by a balanced load as discussed. The
negative sequence is produced and armature reaction which rotates around armature
at synchronous speed in direction to that of field poles and therefore rotates part
the field poles at synchronous speed. Inducing current in the field damper winding
and rotor iron. The impendence encountered by the negative sequence is called the –
ve sequence impedance of the generator. The zero sequence current produce flux in
each phase but their combined armature reaction at the air gap is zero. The
impedance encountered by their currents is therefore different from that
encountered by +ve and –ve sequence components and is called zero sequence
impedance of generator.

Negative sequence:
The –ve sequence impedance may be found by applying balanced –ve
sequence voltage to the armature terminals. While the machine is drive by the
prime mover at its rated synchronous speed with the field winding short
circuited. The ratio of V/ph and Ia/ph gives –ve sequence Z/ph. The reading of the
wattmeter gives I2 R losses. This loss /ph divided by Iph required gives the –ve
sequence R/ph from the impedance and reactance/ph. –ve sequence can be
calculated. Another method of measuring –ve sequence reactance is found to be
connect the arm terminals. The machine is driven at synchronous speed and field
current adjusted until rated current flows in the phases shorted through armature
and current coil of wattmeter respectively
85
 86

Zero sequence:
The sequence impedance may be determined by the connecting the armature
windings of the three phases in series and then connecting them to the single
phase source of power. If the machine is driven at synchronous speed with field
winding shorted, then ZO=V/3I practically the same results will be obtained with rotor
stationary. If windings are connected in parallel, then

PROCEDURE

(2)Set the dimmer stat output to zero volts and switch on the supply.
(3) Gradually increase dimmer stat output and note the ammeter
reading for suitable voltage applied.
