Electrical Machines Laboratory

Transformers: Short circuits and open circuits test, experimental determination of circuit parameters, efficiency and regulation measurements from load test, measurement and observation of harmonics in three phase connections. DC Machines: Measurement of circuit parameter and performance characteristics of dc motors and generators (separately excited, shunt, series, compound). Induction Machines: Open circuit and short circuit tests, load tests, circuit parameter and efficiency measurements.  Synchronous Machines: Open circuit performance measurements, short circuit tests, load and synchronization tests. Observations and measurements of hysteresis loops. Simple motor drive tests with solid-state converters.
