Purpose of the Lab: This is a
laboratory course to be taken concurrently with Electrical Machinery course,
experiments illustrating theory covered in lecture course. Laboratory sessions
provide learning opportunities that should enable the student to do the
following upon completion of this course:
(1) Understand the structure
and the function of a single-phase transformer, and determine the transformer
polarity and calculate transformer regulation. (2) To learn through hands on
experience and demonstrate understanding of the function of Direct Current
Motor/generator, Synchronous Motor, and Electrodynamometer. (3) DC Shunt Motor,
Series Wound DC Motor, and DC separately excited shunt generator and plot
torque vs. speed characteristics and calculate the efficiency for these motors.
Equipment/Apparatus:
(a) Two Lab-Volt
(b) Lab-Volt LV-SIM Simulation software
