TABULAR COLOUMN:
PROCEDURE
1) Connect the circuit as per circuit diagram.
2) Close the DPST switch keeping the SPST switch in closed condition and field
rheostat in minimum position..
3) Start the motor by using the 3-point starter and open the SPST switch.
4) By using the field rheostat bring the motor to rated speed.
5) Note down the readings of voltmeter, ammeters at noload condition.
6) Bring the rheostat to minimum position and open the DPST switch
TO FIND ARMATURE RESISTANCE(RA):
1) Connect the circuit per the circuit diagram
2) Keep the rheostat in maximum position.
3) Now excite the motor terminals by 30V supply by closing DPST switch.
By varying the rheostat & motor down the readings of Ammeter and voltmeter.
MODEL CALCULATIONS:-
For motor:
IL= Ia+If
Constant losses = Pc = VILo Iao2Ra
Input = VIL
Cu losses = Ia2 Ra
Total losses = Constant losses + cu losses
%Efficiency( ) = (Output/Input)*100
Output = input-total losses
For generator:-
Ia= IL+If
Constant losses = Pc = VILo Iao2Ra
Output = VIL
Cu losses = Ia2 Ra
Total losses = Constant losses + cu losses
%Efficiency( ) = (Output/Input)*100
Input = Output + total losses

AIM:
To conduct the brake test on a given D.C shunt motor and to determine its performance
characteristics.
APPARATUS REQUIRED:
PROCEDURE
2. Keep the field rheostat in minimum position and studs S1 and S2 at 0 position. Close
the DPST switch and start the motor using 3-point starter.
3. By using the field rheostat bring the motor to the rated speed.
7. Repeat the steps 6 & 7 until the ammeter reads the full load current.
8. Decrease the load gradually and keep the rheostat in minimum position.
PRECAUTIONS:
1. Initially 3-point starter should be kept at OFF position and later it must be varied
slowly and uniformly from OFF to ON position.
2. The field rheostat must be kept at minimum position.
3. Pour the cold water in the motor drum frequently..
4. The motor should be started without load.

Exp 4
APPARATUS:
PROCEDURE:
1. Connect the circuit as per the circuit diagram
2. Initially there is no load on the motor
3. Close the TPST switch.
4. Bring the motor to the rated voltage by using the 3- auto transformer.
5. Measure no load voltage, current, speed and power
6. Apply the load by tightening the brake drum measure the values of voltage, current ,
. wattmeter,speedand spring values.
7. Repeat the above step until the meter reads the rated current.
8. Now remove the load gradually and bring the auto transformer to the minimum
. position
9. Now open the TPST switch.
PRECAUTIONS:
1. While starting the motor the load should not be there on the drum
2. The applied load on the brake drum does not exceed its rated value
3. The readings should be noted without parallelex errors
4. Always the drum should be kept cool by pouring the cold water in the brake
drum
