EE 2101 Experiment 5 IIT Patna

1Φ Power Measurement
EE 2101 Measurement & Instrumentation Laboratory Duration: 2 hours

Objective: Measurement of power and power factor in a single-phase ac series inductive circuit
Equipment Needed:
Sl. No. Name Specification Quantity
1Φ auto
1 5KVA, (0-270)V 1 Nos.
transformer
2 Voltmeter (0-250)V, MI 1 Nos.
3 Watt-meter (0-500)W 1 Nos.
4 Ammeter (0-2)A, MI 1 Nos.
5 Connecting Wires PVC Insulated Copper As per required

Circuit Diagram:

Theory:
In R-L series AC circuit a resistor of resistance R ohm, and Inductor of inductance L henry are connected across single
phase ac supply of V volts as shown in above figure.
Active Power consumed by the Inductive load is given by:
P=VICosϕ watt
Power factor (Cosϕ)= P/VI
Reactive Power consumed is given by:
Q= VISinϕ VAR
where, V is supplied voltage in volts and I is current flowing through the circuit elements in Amp. Thus, by using above
formula the reactive power consumed by the load and power factor can be determined.

Procedure:
1. Connect all the instruments as per circuit diagram given above.
2. Before switch on the main power supply make sure that single-phase auto transformer knob is at zero position.
3. Now slowly increase the supply voltage to the circuit after giving supply to the single-phase auto-transformer.
4. Take all the corresponding readings of the connected instruments in the circuit as per observation table.
5. Now, calculate power factor Cosɸ and reactive power as per formula given.

Observation Table:
