THEORY
This test needs two identical transformers. The primary windings of these transformers are
connected in parallel and supplied at rated voltage and frequency, while the two secondaries are
connected in phase opposition. Thus the voltage across the two secondaries is zero, when the
primary windings are energized. As such, this test is also called back to back test. In this test, iron
losses occur in the cores and full load copper losses occur in the windings of the two transformer.
Current flowing in the two secondaries is rated full load current of the transformer. Thus, heat run
test can be conducted on the transformer can be estimated. The current drawn by the primaries is
twice the no load current of each transformer. The wattmeter W1 connected in the circuit of the
primaries measures the total core losses of both the transformers.
Thus, iron losses of each transformer = 1/2 W0
Where, W0 is the reading of wattmeter, W1, when rated voltage is applied to the primaries
of the transformers.

Department of Electrical & Electronics Engineering
Similarly, wattmeter W2 connected in the secondary circuit measures the total full load
copper losses of the two transformers.
Hence, full load copper losses of each transformer = 1/2 Wc
Where, Wc is the reading wattmeter W2, when full load current is flowing in the secondary
circuit. A low voltage, hardly 8 to 10 percent of the rated value is applied across the secondaries
for full load current to flow.
(a) Efficiency at full load :
Let the output in KVA of each transformer be P0
Total losses of each transformer under full load operation = 1/2 W0 + 1/2 Wc
P0 X 1000 X cos φ
Percentage efficiency at full load, f = X 100
P0 X 1000 X cos φ + 1/2 W0 + 1/2 Wc
(b) Efficiency at half full load :
Power output of each transformer at half full load = 1/2 P0
Iron losses at half the full load = 1/2 W0 (constant)
Copper losses at half the full load = (1/2 )2 [1/2 Wc ] = 1/8 Wc
1/2 P0 X 1000 X cos φ
Thus, efficiency at half full load, 1/2f = X 100
1/2 P0 X 1000 X cos φ + 1/2 W0 + 1/8 Wc

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM:
PROCEDURE
1. Connect the circuit as per circuit diagram.
2. Ensure that switches S2 and S3 are open.
3. Energize the primaries by closing the switch S1.
4. Observe the reading of voltmeter V1, which should be zero for correct connection of the
secondaries. In case, the voltmeter reads twice the rated voltage of each transformer,
open the switch S1 and interchange the connections at the secondary terminals of one of
the transformer. Close the switch S1 again and verify that the voltmeter V1 now reads
zero. Important caution : Even if the voltmeter V1 reads zero at the first instance, it is
advisable to check the reading of Voltmeter V1 by interchanging the connections at the
secondary terminals of one of the transformer
5. Adjust the setting of the variac, to give nearly zero output voltage.
6. Replace the voltmeter V1, by a low range voltmeter.
7. Close the switch S3 and then S2.
8. Adjust the output voltage of the variac, so that the current flowing in the secondaries is
full load secondary current of each transformer.
9. Record the readings of all the instruments connected in the primary and secondary
circuit. Only one set of reading is sufficient to calculate the efficiency at different loads.
10. Switch off the supply to primary and secondary circuits.

TORQUE :
Mechanical loading is the most common type of method employed in laboratories.
A brake drum is coupled to the shaft of the motor and the load is applied by tightening the belt,
provided on the brake drum. The net force exerted at the brake drum in kg is obtained from the
readings S1 and S2 of the spring balances i.e.
Net force exerted, W = (S1 – S2) kg
Then, load torque, T = W X d/2 kg –m
= W X d/2 X 9.8 Nw-m
where, d- effective diameter of the brake drum in meters.
OUTPUT POWER, P0 :
The output power in watts developed by the motor is given by,
Output power, P0 = 𝟐 𝐍 𝐓
𝟔𝟎 watts
where, N is the speed of the motor in r.p.m.
INPUT POWER :
Input power is measured by the two wattmeters, properly connected in the circuit
i.e.
Input power = (W1 + W2) watts
Where, W1 and W2 are the readings of the two watttmeters.
INPUT POWER FACTOR :
Input power factor can also be calculated from the readings of two wattmeters for
balanced load. If φ is the power factor angle, then
tan φ = 3𝐖𝟏−𝐖𝟐
𝐖𝟏+𝐖𝟐
Knowing the power factor angle, φ, from the above, power factor, cos φ can be
calculated. It may be noted clearly at this stage, that the power factor of the induction motor is
very low at no load, hardly 0.1 to 0.25 lagging. As such, one of the wattmeter will record a
negative reading, till the power factor is less than 0.5, which may be measured by reversing the
connections of either the current coil or pressure coil of this wattmeter.

THEORY
To draw the circle diagram of a 3 phase induction motor, following data is essential.
No load current, I0 and its power factor angle, φ0
Short circuit current, Isc` corresponding to rated voltage and its power factor angle,
φsc
NO LOAD TEST:
To obtain no load current and its power factor angle, φ0, no load test is performed at
rated voltage and frequency. Let the readings of ammeter, voltmeter, and two wattmeters
connected in the circuit be, I0, V0, W01 and W02 respectively during no load test. Then,
tan φ = 3𝐖𝟏−𝐖𝟐
𝐖𝟏+𝐖𝟐
Hence, no load power factor angle, φ0, can be calculated from the readings of two
wattmeters. No load current, I0 has been directly measured by the ammeter.
BLOCK ROTOR TEST:
![Page 22: DEPARTMENT - KG Rkgr.ac.in/beta/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/E.M-II.pdf · Determination of X d and X q of a salient pole synchronous machine 9.

To obtain short circuit current and its power factor angle, block rotor test is
performed on the motor. In this test, rotor is not allowed to move (blocked either by tightening the
belt, in case provided or by hand) and reduced voltage (25 to 30 percent of the rated voltage) of
rated frequency is applied to the stator winding. This test is performed with rated current flowing
in the stator winding. Let the readings of ammeter, voltmeter and two wattmeters be, Isc, VSC,
WSC1 and WSC2 respectively under block rotor condition. Then,
tan φ = 3𝐖𝐬𝐜𝟏−𝐖𝐬𝐜𝟐
𝐖𝐬𝐜𝟏+𝐖𝐬𝐜𝟐
Thus, short circuit power factor angle, φsc can be calculated from the above
equation.
Short circuit current, Isx observed during the block-rotor test corresponds to reduced
applied voltage, VSC, which should be converted to rated voltage of the motor for plotting the
circle diagram. The relation between the short circuit current and the applied voltage is
approximately a straight line. Thus, short circuit current, IS C corresponding to rated voltage, V of
the motor is given by,
Short circuit current, Isc` = 𝐈𝐒𝐂
𝐕𝐒𝐂× 𝑽
It may be remembered, that the power factor of the power factor of the motor is
quite low at no load as well as under blocked rotor condition. Thus, one of the wattmeter
connected in the circuit will give negative reading in both the test, which may be recorded by
reversing the terminals of the pressure coil or the current coil.

THEORY
With constant mechanical load on the synchronous motor, the variation of field current
changes the armature current drawn by the motor and also its operating power factor. As such, the
behaviour of the synchronous motor is described below under three different modes of field
excitation.
1. Normal excitation :
The armature current is minimum at a particular value of field current, which is called the
normal field excitation. The operating power factor of the motor is unity at this excitation and thus
the motor is equivalent to a resistive type of load.
2. Under excitation :
When the field current is decreased gradually below the normal excitation, the armature
current increases and the operating power factor of the motor decreases. The power factor under
this condition is lagging. Thus, the synchronous motor draws a lagging current, when it is under
excited and is equivalent to an inductive load.
3. Over Excitation :
When the field current is increased gradually beyond the normal excitation, the armature
current again increases and the operating power factor decreases. However, the power factor is
leading under this condition. Hence, the synchronous motor draws a leading current, when it is
over excited and is equivalent to a capacitive load.
If the above variation of field current and the corresponding armature current are plotted
for a constant mechanical load, a curve of the shape of ‘V’ is obtained. Such a characteristic of
synchronous motor is commonly called as ‘V’ curve of the motor. The characteristic curve plotted
between input power factor and the field current for a constant mechanical load on the motor are
of the shape of inverted ‘V’ and are known as inverted ‘V’ curves.

of all the meters connected in the circuit.
6. Reduce the excitation in steps and note down the corresponding armature current and
reading of both the wattmeters. Excitation may be reduced, till the current in the armature
winding is of rated value. Under this condition, armature current should increase on
reducing the excitation .
7. Again, adjust the rheostat in the field circuit to normal excitation. Now increase the
excitation in steps and note-down the readings of all the meters at each setting of increased
excitation. Excitation may be increased, till the behaviour of the motor is normal. At large
excitation, the motor will try to fall out of step.

varying the field current of the generator.

THEORY
Direct-axis synchronous reactance and quadrature- axis synchronous reactance are the
steady state reactances of the synchronous machine. These reactances an be measured by
performing, open circuit, short-circuit tests and the slip test on a synchronous machine.
(i) Direct-axis synchronous reactances, Xd
The direct-axis synchronous reactance of synchronous machine in per unit is equal to the
ratio of field current, Ifsc at rated armature current from the short circuit test, to the field current, Ifo
at rated voltage on the air gap line i.e.
Direct-axis synchronous reactance, Xd = Ifsc
Ifo per unit
Thus direct-axis synchronous reactance can be found out by performing open circuit and
short circuit test on an alternator.
(ii) Quadrature-axis synchronous reactance, Xq by slip test :
For the slip test, the alternator should be driven at a speed, slightly less than the
synchronous speed, with its field circuit open. 3 phase balanced reduced voltage of rated
frequency is applied to armature (stator) terminals of the synchronous machine. Applied voltage is
to be adjusted, so that the current drawn by the stator winding is full load rated current. Under
these conditions of operation, the variation of the current drawn by the stator winding, voltage
across the stator winding and the voltage across the field winding. The wave shapes of stator
current and stator voltage clearly indicate that these are changing between minimum and
maximum values. When the crest of the stator mmf wave coincides with the direct axis of the
rotating field, the induced emf in the open field is zero, the voltage across the stator terminals will
be maximum and the current drawn by the stator winding is minimum. Thus approximate value of
direct-axis synchronous reactances, Xds is given by,
Emax = XdS
Imin

Department of Electrical & Electronics Engineering
When the crest of stator mmf wave coincides with the quadrature-axis of the rotating field, the
induced emf in the open circuit field is maximum, the voltage across the stator terminals will be
minimum and the current drawn by the stator winding is maximum. Hence, approximate value of
quadrature-axis synchronous reactance, Xqs is given by,
Xqs = Emin
Imax
For best result, these values are not taken as final values. The most accurate
method for determining the direct-axis synchronous reactances, Xd is the one, that has already
been described in (i) above. The most accurate value of quadrature-axis synchronous reactance,
Xq can now be found out using the above information i.e. Xds, Xqs and Xd.

Hence the accurate value of Xq can be found out by recording minimum and maximum
values of the above quantities. Accurate results can be obtained, if the osillograms are taken
during experimentation for stator current, stator voltage and injected voltage across the field.
It may be noted clearly that for synchronous machine, Xd is greater than Xq i.e. Xd > Xq.

12. Increase the field current of alternator in steps, till the rated full load short-circuit
current. Record the readings of ammeters in both the circuits at every step. 4 to 5
observations are sufficient, as short circuit characteristic is a straight line.
13. Decrease the field current of alternator to minimum and also decrease the speed of
dc motor by field rheostat of the motor.

preferably less than 4 percent.
6. Ensure that the setting of 3 phase variac is at zero position.
7. Switch on 3 phase ac supply to the stator winding of alternator.

9. Adjust the voltage applied to the stator winding, till the current in the stator winding is
approximately full load rated value.

winding and the induced voltage in the open field circuit will fluctuate from minimum
values to maximum values, which may be recorded by the meters included in the circuit.

THEORY:
Parallel operation of transformers is frequently necessary in the power system network,
which consist of a number of transformers installed at generating stations, substations etc. When
operating two or more transformers in parallel (on the primary as well as secondary sides), their
satisfactory performance require that the following condition must be satisfied.
(a) For single phase transformers
(i) The same polarity
(ii) The same voltage ratio.
(b) For three phase transformers
(i) The same polarity
(ii) Zero-relative phase displacement
(iii) Same phase sequence
(iv) Same voltage ratio.
In addition to the above essential requirements, the transformers to be operated in parallel
should have the following for better load sharing and operating power factor.
(i) Equal per unit impedances
(ii) Equal ratios of resistance to reactance.

transformers are connected in parallel.
3. The voltmeter connected in the secondary circuit of the transformers will read either
zero or twice the secondary terminal voltage of each transformer.

secondaries to be in parallel
(ii) In case, the voltmeter reads twice the secondary terminal voltage, then connect
a1 to a`2 and a2 to a`1 for parallel operation of the two transformers.

THEORY
Three phase to two phase conversion or vice versa is essential under the following
circumstances.
(i) To supply power to two phase electric furnaces
(ii) To supply power to two-phase apparatus from a 3-phase source
(iii) To interlink three phase system and two phase systems.
(iv) To supply power to three phase apparatus from a two phase source.
The common type of connection which can achieve the above conversion is normally called
scott-connection.
Transformer A -50 percent tapping and is called the main transformer.
Transformer B – 86.6 percent tapping and is called the teasure transformer. The phasor
diagram of voltages across the primaries and secondaries. The voltage across the primary, CO of
the teasure transformer will be 86.6 percent of the voltage across the primary AB of main
transformer. The neutral point of the three phase system will be on the teasure transformer, such
that the voltage between O and N is 28.8 percent of the applied voltage. Thus the neutral point
divided the teasure primary winding, CO in the ratio of 1:2.’

The voltages across the two secondaries a1 a2 and b1 b2 should be same in magnitude but in
phase quadrature, which may be verified experimentally by recording the voltage across the two
secondaries Va1a2, Vb1b2 and the voltage across a2 b2 with a1 and b1 connected together. The
voltage Va1a2 and Vb1b2 will be in phase quadrature, if the following relationship holds good
between the three voltages.
Va2b2 = V2a1a2 + V2
b1b2
The behaviour of the above circuit can be studied experimentally, under the following
different conditions of loading.
(i) Equal loading on the two secondaries at unity power factor :
If the two secondaries of main and teasure transformers carry equal currents at unity power
factor (resistive load), the current flowing in the primary windings on three phase side will also
will be equal and that too at unity power factor. This fact may be verified experimentally.
(ii) Equal loading on the two secondaries at 0-8 p.f. lagging :
Load the two secondaries with equal current but with inductive load at 0.8 p.f. lagging. Then
the currents on the primary side will also be balanced and that too at 0.8 p.f. lagging, a fact which
may be verified experimentally.
(iii) Unequal loading on the two secondaries with different power factors.
If both the current and power factor are different in the two secondaries of the transformer
used for scott-connection, then the current on the primary side will also be unbalanced, again a
fact which can be verified experimentally.
