Maintenance of Electrical Equipment (22625)
Preface
The primary focus of any engineering laboratory/ field work in the technical education
system is to develop the much needed industry relevant competencies and skills. With this
in view, MSBTE embarked on this innovative ‘I’ Scheme curricula for engineering diploma
programmes with outcome-based education as the focus and accordingly, relatively large
amount of time is allotted for the practical work. This displays the great importance of
laboratory work making each teacher; instructor and student to realize that every minute of
the laboratory time need to be effectively utilized to develop these outcomes, rather than
doing other mundane activities. Therefore, for the successful implementation of this
outcome-based curriculum, every practical has been designed to serve as a ‘vehicle’ to
develop this industry identified competency in every student. The practical skills are
difficult to develop through ‘chalk and duster’ activity in the classroom situation.
Accordingly, the ‘I’ scheme laboratory manual development team designed the practicals to
focus on the outcomes, rather than the traditional age old practice of conducting practicals
to ‘verify the theory’ (which may become a byproduct along the way).
This laboratory manual is designed to help all stakeholders, especially the students, teachers
and instructors to develop in the student the pre-determined outcomes. It is expected from
each student that at least a day in advance, they have to thoroughly read through the
concerned practical procedure that they will do the next day and understand the minimum
theoretical background associated with the practical. Every practical in this manual begins
by identifying the competency, industry relevant skills, course outcomes and practical
outcomes which serve as a key focal point for doing the practical. The students will then
become aware about the skills they will achieve through procedure shown there and
necessary precautions to be taken, which will help them to apply in solving real-world
problems in their professional life.
This manual also provides guidelines to teachers and instructors to effectively facilitate
student-centered lab activities through each practical exercise by arranging and managing
necessary resources in order that the students follow the procedures and precautions
systematically ensuring the achievement of outcomes in the students.
The electrical diploma holder has to work in industry as technical person in middle level
management. He has to work as production, maintenance, testing engineer in various
industries like power generation, transmission, distribution, traction etc. and has to deal with
different electrical measurement. While performing above task he has to measure different
electrical and electronic parameters with testing, therefore he/she must require the skills for
these measurements and broad idea of different meters and equipments.
Although all care has been taken to check for mistakes in this laboratory manual, yet it is
impossible to claim perfection especially as this is the first edition. Any such errors and
suggestions for improvement can be brought to our notice and are highly welcome.

Experiment No. 2 : To perform no load and blocked rotor test on

three phase induction motor to determine the
equivalent circuit parameters.
I Practical Significance
No Load test is performed to obtain magnetizing parameters in induction motor’s
equivalent circuit. A block rotor test is performed to calculate leakage reactance and
winding resistance in induction machine motor’s circuit.
II Relevant Program Outcomes (POs)

PSO1: Electrical Equipment- Maintain various types of rotating and static electrical
equipment.

• Measure electrical quantities
• Connect the machines as per relevant circuits


• To perform no load test and block rotor test on given three phase squirrel cage
induction motor and determine equivalent circuit parameters.

No Load Test
It is a type of Routine test that gives information about core loss or iron loss, friction
and windage losses, magnetizing current, no load power factor and parameters of
magnetizing branch of equivalent circuit i.e. I0, Iµ, IW, R0, X0.
If the motor is run at rated voltage and frequency without any mechanical load, it will
draw power necessary to supply the no load losses. The no load current will have two
components. The active component and the magnetizing component, the former being
very small as the no load losses are small. The power factor at no load is therefore
very low. The no load power factor is always less than 0.5 and hence at no load one of
the wattmeter at input side reads negative.


Blocked Rotor Test

The stator is supplied with a low voltage of rated frequency just sufficient to circulate
rated current through the stator with the rotor blocked and short circuited. The power
input, current and the voltage applied are noted down. The power input during the
blocked rotor test is wholly consumed in the stator and rotor copper losses. The core
loss is low because the applied voltage is only a small percentage of the normal
voltage. Again since the rotor is at stand still the mechanical losses are absent. Hence
the blocked rotor input can be taken as approximately equal to the copper losses.

Experiment No. 3 : For the motor tested in practical at S. no. 2 plot

the circle diagram and judge its performance
The circle diagram of an induction motor is very useful to study its performance under
all operating conditions. We get information about its power output, power factor,
torque, slip, speed, copper loss, efficiency, starting and maximum quantities etc.

equipment.

• Connect the machines as per relevant circuits


• For the motor tested in practical at S. no. 2 plot the circle diagram and judge its
performance

The circle diagram is the graphical representation of the performance of the electrical
machine drawn in terms of the locus of the machines input voltage and current.
Equivalent circuit for rotor of Induction motor is series R-L circuit with variable load
resistance, so locus of rotor current for changing load is circle. As motor current is
vector sum of constant no load current and rotor current referred to stator, locus of
motor current is also circle with changing load which is shifted by no load current as
shown in diagram.


Circle diagram is locus of end of motor current vector when Induction motor is tested
at various loads.

Experiment No. 06 : Perform the phasing out and polarity tests on

the three phase transformer.
Phasing out test is a type test carried out on transformer as per IS 2026 (Part-IV) to
identify the primary and secondary winding terminals belonging to the same phase of a
three phase transformer.
Polarity test is must for transformers when parallel operation is done. Because while
doing parallel operation, if you connect terminals of opposite polarity, it will result in
a dead short - circuit. So, to connect the same polarity windings together both in
primary and secondary, polarity test is done.

PO2: Discipline knowledge: Apply Electrical engineering knowledge to solve broad
PO4: Engineering Tool: Apply relevant Electrical technologies and tools with an
equipment.

The practical is expected to help the student to attain the following industry identified
• Select various meters
• Connect Circuits.

• Maintain single phase and three phase transformers.

• Perform the phasing out and polarity tests on the three phase transformer

Phasing out Test
Phasing out is required only in case of three phase transformer to identify primary and
secondary winding terminals belonging to the same phase. A small direct current is
circulated in one of the primary winding and a galvanometer is connected across one of
the secondary winding and remaining primary and secondary windings are short-
circuited. A momentary noticeable deflection in the galvanometer on making and
breaking of primary current confirms that this secondary winding corresponds to the
primary chosen. The test is repeated for other windings.
Terminal marking:
It is the marking of corresponding terminals of H.V. and L.V. sides of a single phase
and three phase transformer. High voltage terminals are always marked with upper


case letters while low voltage terminals are marked with lower case letters. For a 3
phase transformer viewed from H.V. side, the arrangement of both sets of terminals
shall be in alphabetical order from left to right. If neutral is provided, it should be on
extreme left.
Types of polarity:
1. Additive polarity 2. Subtractive polarity
Polarity test: It is essential to know the relative polarity of primary and secondary
terminals, at any instant for making correct connections, when the two transformers
are to be connected in parallel to share the load on the system.
Fig a) A.C Test Fig b) D.C Test
Both A.C. and D.C methods can be used for detecting the polarities of the induced
e.m.fs. The dot method is used to indicate the polarities. The transformer is connected
to a low voltage A.C. source with the connection made as shown in the fig.(a). A
supply voltage Vs is applied to the primary and the readings of the voltmeters V1, V2
and V3 are noted.
• If V3 readsV1−V2 then assumed dot locations are correct (for the connection
shown). The beginning and end of the primary and secondary may then be marked
by A1−A2 and a1−a2 respectively.
• If the voltage rises from A1 to A2 in the primary, at that instant it does so from a1 to
a2 in the secondary.
Fig.(b) shows the D.C method of testing the polarity. When the switch S is closed if
the pointer of voltmeter shows momentary deflection (kick) towards positive reading
the assumed polarity is correct. If the pointer shows a kick towards negative side
(below zero), the assumed polarity is wrong.

• Maintain single phase and three phase transformers

• Perform the open circuit and short circuit tests on the single phase transformer and
determine its performance (regulation and efficiency).

Open Circuit test (O.C. Test)
It is used to estimate iron losses, transformation ratio and parameters of magnetizing
branch of equivalent circuit. It is determined by applying rated voltage to the low
voltage
winding and keeping the high voltage winding open.
Short Circuit test (S.C. Test)

It is to estimate copper losses and parameters of equivalent circuit of a transformer by
applying low voltage to primary winding, just sufficient to circulate rated full load


current or the required load current in the secondary winding, keeping low voltage
winding short circuited.

Experiment No. 08 : To perform open circuits and short circuit test on three
phase transformer and determine its performance
(efficiency and regulation).
Open circuit and short circuit test are conducted on three phase transformer as a
routine test as per IS 2026 to assess the performance characteristics of three phase
transformer without actually loading it.
Open circuits test is no load test performed to find R0, X0 of equivalent circuit of a
transformer. Core loss of a transformer can be found with this test.
Short circuit test also called as load loss test is carried out to find impedance voltage;
load losses of transformer with rated current on secondary side the input power
represents total load loss. This is measured and adjusted to reference temp.
From results of both these tests we can find efficiency and regulation of transformer.

equipment.



• Perform the open circuit and short circuit tests on the three phase transformer and
determine its performance (regulation and efficiency).

In open circuit test carried out on a three phase transformer, generally L.V. winding is
connected to supply and H.V.is left open because sometimes it may be difficult to
manage H.V. voltage in laboratories. In industry for obtaining more accurate reading
of core losses under such condition, a rectifier type voltmeter measuring average value
of voltage but dial recording root-mean-square value and in addition voltmeter
measuring root-mean-square voltage are used.


In Short Circuit test, the equivalent impedance, the equivalent resistance and
equivalent reactance of transformer referred to measuring side can be determined. If
full load current is circulated through transformer winding full load copper loss is also
determined. Generally HV winding is connected to variable voltage supply source and
LV winding is short circuited. Reading of wattmeter indicates full load copper loss.
The voltage applied under this condition is called impedance voltage.

Experiment No. 9 : Back to Back test on two identical single phase

Transformers
Sumpner's test or back to back test on transformers is another method for
determining transformer efficiency, voltage regulation and heating under loaded
conditions. Short circuit and open circuit tests on transformer can give us parameters
of equivalent circuit of transformer, but they cannot help us in finding the heating
information. Unlike O.C. and S.C. tests, actual loading is simulated in Sumpner's test.
Thus the Sumpner's test gives more accurate results of regulation and efficiency than
O.C. and S.C. tests.

the results to solve broad-based Electrical engineering problems.
equipment.



• Perform back to back test on two identical single phase transformers and determine
their efficiencies and regulations.

Back to back test is a method to find out transformer efficiency, voltage regulation and
temperature rise under loaded conditions. This test is also called as Sumpner’s test. It
is regenerative test and hence economical and very useful. This test can be employed
only when two identical transformers are available. Back to back test, the two primary
windings of the identical transformers are connected in parallel across the supply and
the two secondaries are connected in series with their polarities in opposition.
Wattmeter, voltmeter and ammeter are connected at primary side and at secondary
side. If primaries are energized then the voltage across the two secondaries will be
zero since the emfs in them will cancel each other due to being in phase opposition.
The power input to the two transformers at no-load is indicated by the wattmeter on
the primary side. This power is, equal-to the iron losses of the two transformers as


their secondary currents are absent. An auto-transformer is connected in series with the
two secondaries. A small voltage is injected in the secondary circuit from a separate ac
source. It will circulate a current in the secondary side since the secondary’s are in
opposition, the secondary current will cause by transformer action primary side
currents in opposite directions. Thus the total current in the primary local circuit of the
windings is zero. The reading of wattmeter on primary is not affected and it will
indicate only the iron losses of the two transformers. The auto-transformer is adjusted
till the full load current flows in the secondary side of the transformer. At full load
current the wattmeter on the secondary side indicates the full load copper losses of the
two transformers as their winding resistances are in series.

3. Switch ON the supply and check the correctness of polarities of the two
transformers by measuring voltage across switch , if voltage gets zero then close
switch ‘s’.
4. Note the reading of V1, I1 and W1.
5. Now increase voltage of auxiliary transformer gradually so that full load current
flows through secondary windings.
6. Note down V2, I2and W2. While doing so, the values shown by V1, I1 and W1
should not deviate from their earlier readings.

Experiment No. 13 : Conduct the dielectric strength test on transformer oil

(Sample 1)
Transformer oil is used for insulation and cooling purpose in transformers and other
electrical equipment, needs to be tested periodically to check its dielectric strength.
This is because it tends to deteriorate over time because of the environmental
condition.


equipment.


• Maintain insulation systems of electrical equipment.

• Conduct the dielectric strength test on transformer oil (sample 1).
Breakdown voltage of transformer oil is also known as the dielectric strength of

transformer. Transformer oil, a type of insulating and cooling oil used
in transformers and other electrical equipment, needs to be tested periodically to
ensure that it is still fit for purpose. This is because it tends to deteriorate over time.
Testing consists of measuring breakdown voltage and other physical and
chemical properties of samples of the oil, either in a laboratory or using portable test
equipment on site.
To assess the insulating property of dielectric transformer oil, a sample of the
transformer oil is taken and its breakdown voltage is measured. The lower the
resulting breakdown voltage, the poorer the quality of the transformer oil. The
transformer oil is filled in the vessel of the testing device. Two standard-compliant test
electrodes with a typical clearance of 2.5 mm are surrounded by the dielectric oil.



Sr Name of Resource Suggested Broad Specification Quantity
No.
60 kV, Motorized
1 Oil Test Kit 1
Input supply – 230 Volt, 50 Hz
1. Before using transformer oil breakdown voltage tester, the tester shell should be
reliably grounded.
2. Check the distance between the electrodes
3. When collecting transformer oil and oil samples wipe the sampling valve and
slowly
open it. First flush the test cup 2-3 times and then take the oil sample.
4. When placing or removing the oil cup, it should be done under the condition of
power off.
5 Transformer oil needs to be static in the cup 5 to 10min, to eliminate air bubbles.
X Procedure
1. Adjust the electrodes in the test cup for the required gap and lock them in the
position with the help of locking nuts provided.
2. Fill 4/5th of the cup with fresh oil tested and place the cup on the HV transformer
bushing.
3. Close the top cover of the box. Door open lamp will switch OFF. Switch ON the
unit mains ON and (H.T OFF) lamp will glow.
4. Press (H.T ON) push button, (H.T ON) lamp will glow and (H.T OFF) lamp will
be OFF. The voltage will increase automatically and voltmeter will read the output
voltage. In case of breakdown of the oil H.V will be disconnected, (H.T OFF)
lamp will glow and (H.T ON) lamp will be switched OFF.
5. Note down the voltage reading at which breakdown has occurred, this reading will
have to be taken within 30 seconds of breakdown.
6. Repeat the test sequence after the transformer oil test is completed.
(Typically three repetitions depending on the standards)
7. Calculate the mean value of breakdown voltage.

Experiment No. 14 : Conduct the dielectric strength test on transformer oil

(Sample 2)
Transformer oil is used for insulation and cooling purpose in transformers and other
electrical equipment, needs to be tested periodically to check its dielectric strength.
This is because it tends to deteriorate over time because of the environmental
condition.

equipment.



• Conduct the dielectric strength test on transformer oil (sample 2).

Breakdown voltage of transformer oil is also known as the dielectric strength of
transformer. Transformer oil, a type of insulating and cooling oil used
in transformers and other electrical equipment, needs to be tested periodically to
ensure that it is still fit for purpose. This is because it tends to deteriorate over time.
Testing consists of measuring breakdown voltage and
other physical and chemical properties of samples of the oil, either in a laboratory or
using portable test equipment on site.
To assess the insulating property of dielectric transformer oil, a sample of the
transformer oil is taken and its breakdown voltage is measured. The lower the
resulting breakdown voltage, the poorer the quality of the transformer oil. The
transformer oil is filled in the vessel of the testing device. Two standard-compliant test
electrodes with a typical clearance of 2.5 mm are surrounded by the dielectric oil.

1. Before using transformer oil breakdown voltage tester, the tester shell should be
reliably grounded.
2. Check the distance between the electrodes
3. When collecting transformer oil and oil samples wipe the sampling valve and
slowly
open it. First flush the test cup 2-3 times and then take the oil sample.
4. When placing or removing the oil cup, it should be done under the condition of
power off.
5. Transformer oil needs to be static in the cup 5 to 10min, to eliminate air bubbles.
X Procedure
1. Adjust the electrodes in the test cup for the required gap and lock them in the
position with the help of locking nuts provided.
2. Fill 4/5th of the cup with used oil tested and place the cup on the HV transformer
bushing.
3. Close the top cover of the box. Door open lamp will switch OFF. Switch ON the
unit mains ON and (H.T OFF) lamp will glow.
4. Press (H.T ON) push button, (H.T ON) lamp will glow and (H.T OFF) lamp will
be OFF. The voltage will increase automatically and voltmeter will read the output
voltage. In case of breakdown of the oil H.V will be disconnected, (H.T OFF)
lamp will glow and (H.T ON) lamp will be switched OFF.
5. Note down the voltage reading at which breakdown has occurred, this reading will
have to be taken within 30 seconds of breakdown.
6. Repeat the test sequence after the transformer oil test is completed.
