Teacher Notes - Steve
There are 4 practicals (assessed).
For practicals, All of the practicals will require a lab set up.
List of the equipment which is required for this course practical is as follows:
- DC Machine
- Induction Machine
- Variable DC Power Supply
- Variable AC Power Supply (3-Phase)
- Single-Phase Transformer
- Single-Phase Autotransformer (Single-Phase Variac)
- Cathode Ray Oscilloscope (CRO)
- D.C. Voltmeter
- D.C. Ammeter
- Tachometer
- Torquemeter
- A.C. Ammeter
- A.C. Voltmeter
- Wattmeters
- Load Resistance in kW Size
- Multimeter
- MATLAB/SIMULINK
You may use Power Analyser instead of (A.C. Ammeter and A.C. Voltmeter and Wattmeter)
The equipment which will be used for each experiment can be accessed form the equipment list.
Please make sure to let the students know about the safety measures and procedures in accordance with UniSA Rules for Using Laboratories.

Aim
To obtain the no-load characteristics of a dc generator.
Aim
To obtain the speed and armature current of a DC machine using MATLAB/SIMULINK. This manual outlines the creation of a simulated Separately Excited DC Machine using SIMULINK, and discusses the way to solve the dynamic equations of dc machine numerically.
Aim
To perform open circuit and short circuit tests on a transformer to obtain model parameters for an equivalent circuit model.
Aim
To perform no-load (or light run) and blocked rotor tests on a squirrel cage induction machine to determine the parameters of its equivalent circuit.
Please ensure to organise the facility for running practicals in labs.
