Lab 1 : Load test on DC shunt motor

Objective

To understand the load characteristics of dc shunt motors.

To understand the performance such as torque, speed, current and efficiency
of dc shunt
motors.

Introduction
Shunt DC motor works on direct current. In electrical terminology, a parallel
connection is termed shunt. In a shunt DC motor, the armature and field windings
are connected in parallel. This type of winding is called shunt winding and the motor
shunt DC motor. It has the fundamental components armature, field windings and
commutator which required for the operation of a motor. In a shunt DC motor, a
rotational torque is produced as a result of the interaction between the magnetic
field produced around the current carrying armature and the magnetic field
established around the field windings. Current is supplied from the stationary
housing to the rotating armature through commutator & brushes arrangement. As
the field windings are stationary, power is applied directly to it.

Lab 2 : Load test on 3-phase induction motor(Slip-ring / Phase

wound)
Objective

To understand the load characteristics of 3-phase slip ring induction motors.

To understand the performance such as torque, speed, current, power-factor,
slip and efficiency of 3-phase slip ring induction motor in loaded
configuration.

Introduction
Three phase induction motor type of motor does not require any starting device or
we can say they are self starting induction motor. This Motor consists of two major
parts which is rotor and stator. Stator of three phase induction motor is made up of
numbers of slots to construct a 3 phase winding circuit which is connected to 3
phase AC source. The three phase winding are arranged in such a manner in the
slots that they produce a rotating magnetic field after AC is given to them. While the
Rotor of three phase induction motor consists of cylindrical laminated core with
parallel slots that can carry conductors. Conductors are heavy copper or aluminum
bars which fits in each slots & they are short circuited by the end rings. The slots
are not exactly made parallel to the axis of the shaft but are slotted a little skewed
because this arrangement reduces magnetic humming noise & can avoid stalling of
motor. The stator of the motor consists of overlapping winding offset by an electrical
angle of 120. When the primary winding or the stator is connected to a 3 phase AC
source, it establishes a rotating magnetic field which rotates at the synchronous
speed.
