Troubleshooting Hints IV
LABORATORY PRACTICE

SAFETY RULES
1. SAFETY is of paramount importance in the Electrical Engineering Laboratories.
2. Electricity NEVER EXECUSES careless persons. So, exercise enough care and attention in
handling electrical equipment and follow safety practices in the laboratory. (Electricity is a good
servant but a bad master).
3. Avoid direct contact with any voltage source and power line voltages. (Otherwise, any such contact
may subject you to electrical shock)
4. Wear rubber-soled shoes. (To insulate you from earth so that even if you accidentally contact a live
point, current will not flow through your body to earth and hence you will be protected from electrical
shock)
5. Wear laboratory-coat and avoid loose clothing. (Loose clothing may get caught on an
equipment/instrument and this may lead to an accident particularly if the equipment happens to be a
rotating machine)
6. Girl students should have their hair tucked under their coat or have it in a knot.
7. Do not wear any metallic rings, bangles, bracelets, wristwatches and neck chains. (When you move
your hand/body, such conducting items may create a short circuit or may touch a live point and
thereby subject you to Electrical shock)
8. Be certain that your hands are dry and that you are not standing on wet floor. (Wet parts of the body
reduce the contact resistance thereby increasing the severity of the shock)
9. Ensure that the power is OFF before you start connecting up the circuit. (Otherwise you will be
touching the live parts in the circuit).
10. Get your circuit diagram approved by the staff member and connect up the circuit strictly as per the
approved circuit diagram.
11. Check power chords for any sign of damage and be certain that the chords use safety plugs and do
not defeat the safety feature of these plugs by using ungrounded plugs.
12. When using connection leads, check for any insulation damage in the leads and avoid such
defective leads.
13. Do not defeat any safety devices such as fuse or circuit breaker by shorting across it. Safety
devices protect YOU and your equipment.
14. Switch on the power to your circuit and equipment only after getting them checked up
and approved by the staff member.

15. Take the measurement with one hand in your pocket. (To avoid shock in case you accidentally
touch two points at different potentials with your two hands)
16. Do not make any change in the connection without the approval of the staff member.
17. In case you notice any abnormal condition in your circuit (like insulation heating up, resistor
heating up etc), switch off the power to your circuit immediately and inform the staff member.
18. Keep hot soldering iron in the holder when not in use.
19. After completing the experiment show your readings to the staff member and switch off the power
to your circuit after getting approval from the staff member.
20. Determine the correct rating of the fuse/s to be connected in the circuit after
understanding correctly the type of the experiment to be performed: no-load test or full-load test, the
maximum current expected in the circuit and accordingly use that fuse-rating.(While an over-rated fuse
will damage the equipment and other instruments like ammeters and watt-meters in case of over load,
an under-rated fuse may not allow one even to start the experiment)
21. Moving iron ammeters and current coils of wattmeters are not so delicate and hence these can
stand short time overload due to high starting current. Moving iron meters are cheaper and more
rugged compared to moving coil meters. Moving iron meters can be used for both a.c. and d.c.
measurement. Moving coil instruments are however more sensitive and more accurate as compared to
their moving iron counterparts and these can be used for d.c. measurements only. Good features of
moving coil instruments are not of much consequence for you as other sources of errors in the
experiments are many times more than those caused by these meters.
22. Some students have been found to damage meters by mishandling in the following ways:
i. Keeping unnecessary material like books, labrecords, unused meters etc. causing meters
to fall down the table.
ii. Putting pressure on the meter (especially glass) while making connections or while talking
or listening somebody.
STUDENTS ARE STRICTLY WARNED THAT FULL COST OF THE METER WILL BE
RECOVERED FROM THE INDIVIDUAL WHO HAS DAMAGED IT IN SUCH A MANNER.
Copy these rules in your Lab Record. Observe these yourself

and help your friends to observe.

I have read and understand these rules and procedures. I agree to abide by these rules and
procedures at all times while using these facilities. I understand that failure to follow these rules and
procedures will result in my immediate dismissal from the laboratory and additional disciplinary action
may be taken.

GUIDELINES FOR LABORATORY NOTEBOOK
The laboratory notebook is a record of all work pertaining to the experiment. This record should be
sufficiently complete so that you or anyone else of similar technical background can duplicate the
experiment and data by simply following your laboratory notebook. Record everything directly into the
notebook during the experiment. Do not use scratch paper for recording data. Do not trust your memory to fill in
the details at a later time.
Organization in your notebook is important. Descriptive headings should be used to separate and identify the
various parts of the experiment. Record data in chronological order. A neat, organized and complete record of an
experiment is just as important as the experimental work.
1. Heading:
The experiment identification (number) should be at the top of each page.Your name and date should be at
the top of the first page of each day's experimental work.
2. Object:
A brief but complete statement of what you intend to find out or verify in the experiment should be at the
beginning of each experiment
3. Diagram:
A circuit diagram should be drawn and labeled so that the actual experiment circuitry could be easily
duplicated at any time in the future. Be especially careful to record all circuit changes made during the
experiment.
4. Equipment List:
List those items of equipment which have a direct effect on the accuracy of the data. It may be necessary
later to locate specific items of equipment for rechecks if discrepancies develop in the results.
5. Procedure:
In general, lengthy explanations of procedures are unnecessary. Be brief. Short commentaries alongside
the corresponding data may be used. Keep in mind the fact that the experiment must be reproducible from
the information given in your notebook.
6. Data:
Think carefully about what data is required and prepare suitable data tables. Record instrument readings
directly. Do not use calculated results in place of direct data; however, calculated results may be
recorded in the same table with the direct data. Data tables should be clearly identified and each data column
labeled and headed by the proper units of measure.
7. Calculations:
Not always necessary but equations and sample calculations are often given to illustrate the treatment of
the experimental data in obtaining the results.
8. Graphs:
Graphs are used to present large amounts of data in a concise visual form. Data to be presented in
graphical form should be plotted in the laboratory so that any questionable data points can be checked
while the experiment is still set up. The grid lines in the notebook can be used for most graphs. If special
graph paper is required, affix the graph permanently into the notebook. Give all graphs a short
descriptive title. Label and scale the axes. Use units of measure. Label each curve if more than one
on a graph.

DEVI ELECTRONICS
9. Results:
The results should be presented in a form which makes the interpretation easy. Large amounts of numerical
results are generally presented in graphical form. Tables are generally used for small amounts of results.
Theoretical and experimental results should be on the same graph or arrange in the same table in a way for
easy correlation of these results.
10. Conclusion:
This is your interpretation of the results of the experiment as an engineer. Be brief and specific. Give
reasons for important discrepancies.
TROUBLE SHOOTING HINTS
1. Be Sure that the power is turned ON
2. Be sure the ground connections are common
3. Be sure the circuit you build is identical to your circuit diagram (Do a node by node check)
4. Be sure that the supply voltages are correct
5. Be sure that the equipment is set up correctly and you are measuring the correct parameters
6. If steps 1 through 5 are correct then you probably have used a component with the wrong value or one
that doesn’t work. It is also possible that the equipment does not work (although this is not probable) or
the protoboard you are using may have some unwanted paths between nodes. To find your problem you
must trace through the voltages in your circuit node by node and compare the signal you expect to have.
Then if they are different use your engineering judgment to decide what is causing the different or ask
your lab assistant.

Statement of Reciprocity Theorem:
In any branch of a network, the current due to a single source of voltage(V) elsewhere in the network is
equal to the current through the branch in which the source was originally placed when the source is
placed in the branch in which the current (I)was originally obtained.
Theory:
In a linear, bilateral, single source network if a voltage at any point in the network produces a current at
some other point in the network, then the same voltage at the other point produces the same current at
the first point.
The ratio of response to excitation is same. Reciprocity theorem is applicable for single voltage
and single current source networks only.
Voltage V1 across AA1 produces current I1 at BB1. Now if the positions of the source and
responses are interchanged, by connecting the voltage source across BB1, the resultant current I2 will

DEVI ELECTRONICS
be at terminals AA1. According to reciprocity theorem, the ratio of response to excitation is same in
both the cases.
i.e. I1 / V1 = I2 / V2
The location of the voltage source and the through current may be interchanged with out change
in current. However, the polarity of the voltage source should have the identicality with the direction of
branch current in each position.
According to this theorem if the source voltage and zero resistance ammeter are changed, the
magnitude of the current through the ammeter will be same, no matter how completed the network. In
other words, in a linear passive network, supply voltage V & current I are mutually transferable. The
ratio of V and I is called the transfer resistance.
The limitation of this theorem is that it is only applicable to single source networks and not in
multisource network. More over the network should not have any time varying element.

TITLE: MEASUREMENT OF ACTIVE POWER CONSUMED BY 3-Ф
BALANCED STAR AND DELTA LOAD
Aim: To measure active power and power in a balanced 3-Ф circuit using two single
phase wattmeter’s.
Apparatus required:
Sl.No Name of the Equipment Range Type quantity

1 3-Ф power supply 415 v , --
50 Hz
2 3-Ф Auto transformer 415v , 0-460v 1 No
50Hz
3 ammeter 0-20 A MI 1 No
4 voltmeter 0-600v MI 1 No
5 Wattmeter 0-10A, UPF,MI 2 No.
6 3-Ф variable load ---- ----- 1 No.
7 Connecting wires Required
Theory:
Total power consumed by 3-Ф balanced load can be measured by using two watmeters.
The wattmeter’s consists of two coils namely pressure coil(PC) and current coil(CC).

DEVI ELECTRONICS
The current coils are connected with any two of the lines say R and B. the pressure coils of the two
wattmeters are connected between that line and the second line.i.e. Y line.
Considering a balanced 3-Ф load at a PF cosФ lagging, the three line currents IR, IY & IB will have
the same magnitude and each will be lagging by angle Ф its corresponding voltage.
Assuming a Y connected system we have IL=Iph and VL=√3 Vph. Thus we have IR=IY=IB=Iph. Similarly,
for the voltages, VR = VY = VB = Vph.
We know that the line voltages VRY= VR-VY, and line Voltage V BY=VB-VY. By phasor method
we can determine line voltage VRY VBY as shown in fig. The line VRY is seen to be leading VR by 30o
and line voltage VBY seen to be lagging VB by 30o. Thus the phase angle between the line voltage VRY
and line current IR is 30o + Ф . Similarly, the phase angle between the line voltage VBY and line current
IB is 30o+Ф. Therefore, the power in 2 wattmeters is given by,
W1=VRY*IR*COS (30o + Ф) = √ 3 Vph Iph COS (30o + Ф).
W2=VBY*IB*COS (30o - Ф) = √ 3 Vph Iph COS (30o - Ф).
The addition of two powers gives
W1 + W2 = √ 3 Vph Iph COS (30o + Ф) + √ 3 Vph Iph COS (30o - Ф).
= 3 Vph Iph COS Ф.
For ‘Y’ load:
Vph = VL / √3 , Iph = IL
W1 + W2 = 3 (VL / √3) IL COS Ф = √3 VL IL COS Ф
For ‘∆’ load:
Vph = VL, Iph = IL / √3
W1 + W2 = 3 VL ( IL / √3) COS Ф = √3 VL IL COS Ф
Power factor
W1 = COS (30o + Ф)
W2 COS (30o - Ф)
W1 – W2 = COS (30o + Ф) - COS (30o - Ф)
W1 + W2 COS (30o + Ф) + COS (30o - Ф)
= 2 SIN30o SIN Ф = TAN 30oTAN Ф

DEVI ELECTRONICS
PROCEDURE:
1) Make the connections as shown in figure.

2) Keep the three phase auto transformer at its zero position.
3) Keep the three phase variable load so as to have maximum impedance.
4) Switch ON the 3- Ф supply mains.
5) Increase the voltage supplied to the circuit by changing the position of variac so that all the meters
give readable deflection.
6) Note down the readings of all meters.
7) Change the supply voltage and repeat the step 5 and 6 for at least 5 times.
8) If changing the supply voltage does not give sufficient number of readings the 3-Ф load can also
be changed to take different readings.
9) Decrease the voltage supplied to the circuit autotransformer.
10) Switch OFF the supply.
Precautions:
1. All the connections should be tight.

2. The readings in ammeters should not exceed the current ratings of wattmeters.
3. During the experiment one of the wattmeters may give give negative deflection. In this case the
connections of either the current coil or the pressure coil of the wattmeter should be reversed,
the wattmeter will give positive deflection. The reading of that wattmeter should now be
recorded with negative sign.

PSPICE
INTRODUCTION
The acronym PSPICE stands for - Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis.
SPICE is a general purpose circuit diagram that simulates electronics circuits. Spice can
perform various analyses of electronics circuits namely operating point of transistor, a time domain
response, a small signal frequency response etc. It is a versatile program.
It contains certain models for common circuit elements, active as well as passive and is capable of
simulating most electronic circuits.
The algorithms of spice are general in nature but are robust and powerful for simulating
electrical and electronics circuits. The input syntax for spice is a free format style, it does not require
that data be entered in fixed columns locations. Spice assumes reasonable default values for
unspecified circuit parameters. In addition, it performs considerable amount of error checking to ensure
that a circuit has been entered correctly.
A circuit is described by statements that are stored in a file called circuit file. It is normally
typed from the keyboard. The circuit file is read by Pspice simulator. Each statement is self contained
and independent, the statements do not interact with each other.
The circuit file contains the circuit details of components and elements, the information about
thee sources and the command for what to calculate and what to provide as output.
The circuit file is the input file to the Spice program which after executing the commands, produces the
results in another file called the output file.
Types of analysis : PSpice allows various types of analysis
DC Analysis: It is used for circuits with time –invariant sources. It calculates all node voltages and
branch currents over a range of values.
.DC --- DC sweep of an input voltage / current source over a range of values
.OP --- DC operating point to obtain all node voltages
Transient analysis: It is used for circuits with time variant sources. It calculates all node voltages and
branch currents over a time interval, and their instantaneous values are the outputs.
.TRAN --- circuit behaviour in response to time varying sources.

DEVI ELECTRONICS
AC analysis: It is used for small signal analysis of circuits with sources of variable frequencies. It
calculates all node voltages and branch currents over a range of frequencies.
.AC --- circuit over arrange of source frequencies.
Circuit description:
A circuit must be specified in terms of elements names, element values, nodes, variable parameters
and sources.
For a circuit that is to be simulated for calculating all node voltages and currents, the user has to
show the required:
1) How to describe this circuit to spice.

2) How to specify the type of analysis to be performed
3) How to define the required output variables.
Element values:
The element values are written in standard floating point notation with optional scale and unit suffixes.
There are two types of suffixes: scale suffix , unit suffix.
RECOGNISED SCALE SUFFIXES:
N=1E-9, U =1E-6, M=1E-3, K=1E3, 1MEG=1E6,
RECOGNISED SCALE SUFFIXES:
V=volt, A=amp, HZ=hertz, OHM=ohm, H= henry, F= farad, DEG=degree
NODES:
The location of the element is identified by the node numbers. Each element is connected between two
nodes. Node numbers are assigned in the circuit. Node 0 ids predefined as ground.
The node numbers to which an element is connected are specified after the name of an element.
Format for describing passive elements:
< element name > < positive node > < negative node > < value >
Symbols of circuit elements and sources;
C----------capacitor
D----------Diode

DEVI ELECTRONICS
I------------Independent cuurent source
L-----------Inductor
R-----------Resistor
V----------Independent Voltage source
Format for describing source elements :
< source name > < positive node > < negative node > < source model >
The model for a simple dc source is : DC < value>
Ex: VS 1 0 DC 20V
Output variables:
To print or plot output voltages or currents spice permits certain types.
V(4,0) – voltage of node 4 w.r.t to node 0 i.e, ground.
Spice can give the current of a voltage source as an output by dummy voltage source of 0V
VX 3 0 DC 0V ; measures current through node 3 element.
