Experiment For IE

This lab report details an experiment to plot the magnetization characteristics of a DC machine. The experiment involves measuring the no-load voltage (E0) at different levels of field excitation current (If) while the machine is driven at a constant speed. The results are recorded in tables and plotted as a graph of E0 vs If to obtain the magnetization curve, which shows the relationship between field current and generated voltage without load. Analyzing the curve provides insights into the machine's performance under different excitation levels and saturation characteristics.

OBJECTIVE : Plot the magnetization characteristics of a DC machine.

INTRODUCTION:
Open circuit characteristic which is known as the no-load saturation or magnetic characteristic. These
characteristics portray the relationship between the current of the field (If) and the emf generated at no
load (E0) at a given constant speed. Open-circuit are quite useful for testing the performances of the
machines under various levels of the field excitation. They most necessarily capture the characteristics of
the machine when it is saturated. The field current, gradually increases and its corresponding voltage is
made to be recorded. The series or shunt generators which are in excited state, their winding of the field
is connected across the external supply and will be disconnected from the machine.

The O.C.C. curve is just the magnetization curve and it is practically similar for all type of generators.

THEORETICAL REVIEW: This experiment shows the electromotive force Eo against the excitation
current Ie. The resulting graph shows that for the same value of excitation current there are two
different values of electromotive force, one for the ascending and one for the descending curves.
Usually the medium value of Eo is considered. The area enclosed in the magnetization loop represents
the power losses for magnetic hysteresis (residual magnetism) in the armature iron.

MANUAL DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS

1. Set the excitation voltage PS4 and drive motor supply voltage PS1 = 0
2. Switch on the power supply and adjust PS1 to nominal motor voltage.
3. When the motor is up to speed gradually increase the excitation current from 0% to 100%
in 10% steps by adjusting PS4.
4. At each step enter in the worksheet table the values of voltage and excitation current
5. Repeat the above steps while decreasing the excitation current from 100% to 10%
6. Plot the graph
