THEORY:

The Scott-connection of transformers for the conversion of 3-phase to 2-phase a.c.
requires two transformers called main transformer and teaser transformer.

The main transformer has a 50% tap on its primary. The teaser transformer has
) 866 . 0 ( 2 / 3 tap on its primary.

Consider the connection diagram shown in fig. 3 (a). The primary of the main
transformer having N
1
turns is connected between the terminals CB of a 3-phase supply. If
the supply line voltage is V then from fig. 3 (b).


V
AB
=V
BC
=V
CA
=V
Voltage between A and D =V x ( 2 / 3 )

Let the number of turns between A and D be ( 2 / 3 ) x N1. This makes the
volts/turns same in the primaries of both the transformers. If the secondaries of the two
transformer units have the same turns, the two secondary voltages will be equal in magnitude
and in quadrature as seen from the vector diagram shown in fig. 3.1 (b).

For unity power factor balanced load (purely resistive load) as show, the phase
voltages and phase currents of the main and teaser transformer are as shown in fig 3 (c).
Thus for balanced 3 phase 3 wire a.c. supply, we get a 2 phase, 4 wire balanced output.

For getting 2-phase 3 wire supply, any two leads say E and G ca be joined.

THEORY:

In this experiment the 3-phase alternator is driven by the D.C. shunt motor at rated
speed. The field is excited by a variable d.c. voltage output drawn from a rectifier.
The regulation of the alternator is determined by (a) synchronous impedance and (b)
M.M.F method from the O.C.C. and S.C.C tests.

Open Circuit Test :

The open circuit characteristic (O.C.C.) or the magnetizing characteristic of the
alternator is obtained by plotting the variation of induced voltage E as the field current is
gradually increased. The shape of the O.C.C. is as shown in Fig. 5(b). This curve actually
shows a small voltage at zero field current due to the residual magnetism. But this is
neglected and not shown. In the initial stages when the field current is small O.C.C. is a
straight line since the field is unsaturated. With higher field currents E increases slowly and
finally reaches a fixed due to magnetic saturation.
S.C. Test :
In this the machine is run at constant speed and the armature terminal are short-
circuited. A reduced excitation is applied to the field. The S.C.C. is obtained by plotting
armature current I on the y-axis and the field current on the x-axis. This is characteristic is a
straight line as shown in fig. 5(b).
Regulation of alternator at a given load current I
a
and p.f. Cos is an index of the
drop of voltage with load. It is given by

% Regulation =((E-V)/V) x 100 -------- (1)
Where E is the induced voltage in the armature / phase.
V is the rated terminal voltage of the armature / phase.
The phasor diagram of the alternator is given in fig. 5 (c)

Suppose it is required to find the synchronous impedance and synchronous reactance
of the alternator at a load current of I

.
For the armature current I

Corresponding to Ia, find the field current required I

, find the induced voltage E from the O.C.C. then regulation at the
given load current and p.f. is given by
% regulation =(E V)/V) x 100
PROCEDURE:

- Make connections as per the circuit diagram for obtaining the O.C.C. or
magnetization curve. Keep the switch S is open.
- Start the D.C. motor by means of the 3-point starter and adjust the speed of the
set to the rated value.
- Switch on the rectifier and supply the field current to the field terminals of the
alternator.
- Starting with zero field current, gradually vary the field current and obtain the
corresponding reading of voltmeter connected across the armature. Continue
this till you get nearly a constant voltage in the armature.
- Plot the O.C.C. taking I
f
on the x-axis and E-phase on the y-axis. This will be
obtained as shown in fig 5(b).
- For obtaining he S.C.C. make connections as per the circuit diagram in fig
5(a). Replace all the meters with meters of new ranges.
- Start the set by means of the 3-pt starter of the d.c. motor and adjust speed to
the rated value by the field regulator.
- Close the switch S. Switch on the rectifier. Starting with zero field current,
gradually increase the field current and note the corresponding armature
current. Continue this till full load current flows through the armature.
- The d.c. resistance of the armature is found using the drop method. Allow
20% extra fro the skin effect and find the R
ac
.
- Calculate Xs the synchronous reactance of the armature at a given Ia and find
the regulation from equations (1) and (2) as explained in theory. Similarly
find the regulation using the m.m.f. method as per the procedure given in
theory.
- Draw the regulation vs load curve graphs at (a) 0.8 lag (b) unity and (c) 0.8
lead power factors both the above methods.


RESULT:


QUIZ:

1. How is armature reaction considered in the determination of regulation of alternator?
2. Why synchronous impedance is called fictitious impedance? Is it constant for all field
currents?

Theory :- The T/Fs are connected in parallel when the load on them is more than the
rating of individual t/fs . Several smaller units are operated in llle which share a common
load. Thus it is avoided that the total is supplied by single unit due to use of parallel
operation. The ll le operation is advantageous is the sense that the spare parts can be

THEORY :

The performance characteristics of the given 3 phase induction motor are obtained
from the circle diagram. The circle diagram is constructed from the No-Load and Blocked
rotor tests.
No-Load Test : In this test, supply is given to the stator of the motor through a 3-phase variac.
The variac serves as a device to start the motor and also to enable rated voltage to be applied
to the stator.
In the No-Load test, with the machine running at No-Load, rated voltage is applied to
the stator and readings of meters are taken. Let W
0
, I
0
and V
0
be the readings of wattmeter,
ammeter and voltmeter respectively. For the construction of circle diagram I

Blocked Rotor Test :

This test is similar to the S.C. test of Transformer. The rotor of the motor is blocked
by some means, and a reduced voltage (starting from zero) is applied to the stator till full-
load current flows through the stator. Readings of all the meters are noted.

Stator and Rotor copper Losses :

Measurement of stator and rotor resistances is done in the normal way. By measuring the
voltage across the sliprings, the turn ratio of the stator to rotor and the ratio of stator copper
loss to rotor copper loss at stand-still can be found cut as below.

to the stator. Allow the rotor to run at no-load for few minutes and note the
readings of all meters.
Blocked Rotor Test :
- Replace all meters with meters suitable for blocked rotor test as per the circuit
shown in fig. 4(a).

THEORY:

In the E.M.F. method of finding the voltage regulation of an alternator, armature
reaction m.m.f. F
a
is accounted by means of an equivalent armature reaction e.m.f. E
a
and
from this concept of X
s
is evolved. This is permissible only in case of Non-Salient pole
synchronous machine where the air gap is uniform.

In Salient pole synchronous machine the armature m.m.f. cannot be accounted by
introducing the equivalent reactance. This is because air gap is not uniform & the reluctance
among the polar or direct axis is considerably smaller than that along the inter polar or
quadrature axis.

According to two-reaction theory, the sinusoidal armature m.m.f. F
a

The difference between e.m.f. method & reaction theory method must be carefully
noted. The e.m.f. method introduces the concept of X

armature leakage & armature reaction fluxes. The two reaction theory introduces X
d

the S
d
accounts for the armature leakage flux & X

MEASUREMENT OF X
d
& X
q
:

The synchronous machine is driven by a separate prime mover at a speed slightly
different from synchronous speed. The field winding is left pen & positive sequence balance
voltages of reduced magnitude at rated frequency are applied across the armature terminals
under these conditions. The relative velocity between the field winding & rotating armature
m.m.f. waves are revolving in the same direction and this is the slip speed.

At one instant, when the peak of armature m.m.f. wave is inline with the field poles or
direct axis, the reluctance offered by the small air gap is minimum.

At this instant, the impressed terminal voltage/phase divided by the corresponding
I
a
/phase gives direct axis synchronous reactance X
d
.

After the armature of slip cycle, the peak of armature m.m.f. wave acts on the inter
poles or q-axis of magnetic circuit & the reluctance offered by long air gap is maximum. At
this instant the ratio of armature terminal voltage/phase to corresponding armature current
I
a
/phase gives quadrature axis synchronous reactance (X
q
).

THEORY :

The armature current of a synchronous motor changes with the change in field
current .If the field current is increased from a small value, the armature current Ia decreases
until the armature current becomes minimum. At this point the armature is operating at UPF
up to this the motor is operating at a lagging power factor. If the field current increased
further, the armature current increases again and the motor will operate at leading pf. When
this variation of Ia with If is plotted for various loads the resultant curves obtained are called
the V curves and since they resemble V in their shape.

A family of curves is obtained by plotting the power factor vs field current. These are
inverted v curves. The highest point on each of these curves indicates unity power factor .It is
noted that the field current for unity power factor at no load is less than field and for unity
power factor at full load.


PROCEDURE:

1. Make connections as per the circuit diagram.
2. The prime mover is, DC motor and by adjusting its field current the speed can be brought
to the synchronous machine rated speed.
3. The synchronous machine field is excited by varying the resistance is the field circuit of
synchronous machine the voltage can be adjusted to grid voltage.
4. Conditions for parallel operation are to be checked. Once they are satisfied, close three-
pole switch of the synchronous machine.
5. When bulbs are dark close the synchronous switch and open the dc motor supply.
6. Now synchronous machine will run as a motor and dc machine as a dc generator.
7. At no load armature current, field current and power factor readings are to be tabulated.
8. Connect the load and adjust the load current to 3A, 6A and 9A respectively.
9. Take the readings of armature current, field current, power factor readings and tabulate the
readings.
10. Reduce the load and open the synchronous motor 3pole switch and field switch
simultaneously.
11. Draw the V and inverted V curves.
