EXPERIMENT NO 7 To Connect Start and Reverse Direction of IM and DC Shunt

1) The experiment aims to connect, start, and reverse the direction of rotation of a three-phase induction motor and DC shunt motor. 2) For the three-phase induction motor, the direction is reversed by interchanging any two of the supply terminals to the motor. 3) For the DC shunt motor, the direction is reversed by interchanging the connections of the armature winding. Both motors are started using starters to limit the starting current.

EXPERIMENT NO. 7.

AIM: To connect, start and reverse the direction of rotation of three-phase induction Motor.

APPARATUS REQUIRED:
S.NO. APPARATUS RANGE QUANTITY
REQUIRED
1. 3 ph induction motor 5hp,415V 1
2. Connecting Leads ----- As per requirements
3. DOL Starter 1
4. TPIC main switch 32 Amp 1
5. AC voltmeter 0-500V 1
6. AC Ammeter 0-20Amp 1

THEORY:
When motor is connected to a three-phase supply through a DOL Starter (Direct Online Starter) or a Star delta
Starter, then the motor should run in anticlock wise direction but/Many times motor runs clockwise. So, it is
desired to change its DOL. So, for the same we have to interchange any two supply terminal of the motor to
make its direction anti-clockwise. The starter’s main function is to protect the motor from overload condition
and it also provides easy ON-OFF the motor so it is necessary to use a starter. In this practical we have used a
DOL starter, which runs a three-phase 3hp motor, whose circuit diagram is as shown.

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM:

Fig. 7.a
PROCEDURE: Do as follows:
1. Make the connections as per circuit diagram-1
2. Now switch on the power supply.
3. The direction of rotation (DOR) should be noted when motors starts.
4. Now if the direction is clockwise or it is required to change the direction of rotation of motor then the
interchange any two phases as shown in diagram-3.
5. Now note the new DOR of motor.

PRECAUTIONS:
1. Make the connections as per circuit diagram.
2. Connections should be right & tight.
3. Note the direction of rotation carefully.
4. Do every procedure carefully.

RESULT: Now we have come to know how to change the DOR of any three phase induction motor by
interchanging any two supply terminals.
EXPERIMENT NO. 7.b

AIM: To connect, start and reverse the direction of rotation of DC shunt motor.

OBJECTIVE: To make the students understand that a shunt motor is started through a starter and its direction
can be reversed by interchanging the connections of armature winding.

APPARATUS REQUIRED:
1. 250 V DC supply.
2. One 250V dc shunt motor of capacity……KW.
3. One double pole single throw (DPST) switch.
4. Connecting leads.

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM:

Fig. 7.b (1)

Fig. 7.b (2)


THEORY: A dc motor draws heavy current at the start if it is started without starter because back emf is zero
at start:
I = V - EB/ RA and at start IS = V – 0/ RA

To limit the current at start a resistance is added in the armature circuit called starter;

IS = V/ RA + RS

However, the starting resistance is taken out of circuit gradually as the motor picks up speed and back emf (EB)
is built up.
The direction of rotation of a motor depends upon the direction of torque developed in it i.e.:

Hence, the direction of rotation of a dc motor can be reversed if the connections of armature winding are
reversed.

PROCEDURE:
1. Make the connections as per the circuit diagram shown in fig.21(a)
2. Get the connections checked by the teacher in charge.
3. Switch on the dc supply through DPST switch.
4. Start the motor with the help of a starter and note the direction of rotation of the motor.
5. Switch OFF the supply.
6. Change the connections as shown in fig.21(b) and switch ON the supply.
7. Start the motor with the help of starter and note the direction of rotation.
8. Switch OFF the supply.

RESULTS:
1. Direction of rotation of motor with the connections as shown in fig.21 (a) = ……….. (Say clockwise).
2. Direction of rotation of motor with the connections as shown in fig.21 (b) = ……….. (Say anticlockwise).
Thus, the direction of rotation is reversed by interchanging the connection of armature winding.
