The Electrical Engineering Laboratory is equipped with latest hardware-simulators wherein candidates
can make different connections and conduct experiments related to the modules described below.
The facilities are designed not only to safely withstand inadvertent human errors of the students but
also to simulate typical faults to help the candidates get a hands-on experience of the effect of these
faults and drill them in developing resolute and correct reactions.
Single Phase Transformers : to conduct a) Polarity test; b) Paralleling test; c) Series connection test;
Parallel connection to identify/correct wrong wiring, if any; etc
Three Phase Transformers Parallel Connection : a) Sharing by current by transformers; b) Measuring power drawn by each transformer; c) Connecting energy meter and calibrating; etc
Three Phase Transformers : (Primary Winding, Secondary Winding, Tertiary Winding and Zigzag Winding): a) Star/Star Connection, to measure primary secondary voltages/currents simultaneously;
Delta/Star Connection, to measure line current and phase current; c) Star/Delta Connection, to measure circulating current in delta winding (simulate a wrong connection)
DC Shunt Motor : Connect variable speed drive, a) measuring speed; voltage and current; b) measuring armature voltage and current on load; c) measuring speed on load; d) measuring speed during ‘field weakening’; e) determining load-speed characteristics
Power Transmission Line Trainer : a) Assembling the trainer kit; b) Studying Ferranti effect & calculating the charging current; c) Determination of transmission line constants (A, B, C, & D) by (i) knowing component values and (ii) 2-port experimental method; d) Verification of R, L, C component values from the four transmission line parameters (i.e., A, B, C,D) using Pi model; e) Conducting laboratory load test and calculation/measurement of regulation, efficiency & power factor; f) Capacitive VAR compensation; g) Identifying symmetric & asymmetric faults
AC Motor : a) DOL starter; b) Star/delta starter; c) Forward / reverse phase sequencing; d) Adjustment of overload relay
Measuring Instruments : a) IR values (MΩ) of electrical equipment; b) Winding resistance (mΩ);
