Course overview

Electrical Machines-1 Laboratory is to expose the undergraduate students to the concepts

of DC Machines and Transformers. This course includes performance characteristics and testing
of DC motors, DC generators and Transformers. The objective of this course is to supplement the
theory with suitable practical experiments and demonstrate basic testing techniques. The lab
experiments supported the theory studied in the course DC Machines and Transformers.

Course relevance
A thorough understanding of DC machines and transformers are inevitable for electrical
engineering students and this thought led to the emphasis of electrical machines lab in the
curriculum. Rapid changes have occurred in power technology over the past few decades and the
need of basic understanding of motors and generators now is very important.
