 General Instructions to students for EEE Lab courses

 Be punctual to the lab class.

 Attend the laboratory classes wearing the prescribed uniform and shoes.

 Avoid wearing any metallic rings, straps or bangles as they are likely to prove dangerous at
times.

 Girls should put their plait inside their overcoat

 Boys students should tuck in their uniform to avoid the loose cloth getting into contact with
rotating machines.

 Acquire a good knowledge of the surrounding of your worktable. Know where the various
live points are situated in your table.

 In case of any unwanted things happening, immediately switch off the mains in the
worktable.

 This must be done when there is a power break during the experiment being carried out.

 Before entering into the lab class, you must be well prepared for the experiment that you
are going to do on that day.

 Get the circuit diagram approved.

 Prepare the list of equipments and components required for the experiment and get the
indent approved.

 Make connections as per the approved circuit diagram and get the same verified.
After getting the approval only supply must be switched on.

 Get the reading verified. Then inform the technician so that supply to the worktable can be
switched off.

 You must get the observation note corrected within two days from the date of completion
of experiment. Write the answer for all the discussion questions in the observation note. If
not, marks for concerned observation will be proportionately reduced.

 Submit the record note book for the experiment completed in the next class.

 If you miss any practical class due to unavoidable reasons, intimate the staff in charge and
do the missed experiment in the repetition class.

 Such of those students who fail to put in a minimum of 75% attendance in the laboratory
class will run the risk of not being allowed for the University Practical Examination.

1.6 PROCEDURE:
1. Switch ON the mains supply to the firing circuit. Observe the trigger outputs by varying firing
angle potentiometer and by operating On/OFF and SCR/TRIAC selector switch. Make sure the
firing pulses are proper before connecting to the power circuit.
2. Make the connections as per the circuit diagram.
3. Connect firing pulses from the firing circuit to the corresponding SCRs/TRIAC in the power
circuit.
4. Switch ON the step down transformer supply (MCB) and now switch ON the trigger pulses by
operating ON/OFF switch in the firing circuit.
5. Observe the output voltage waveform across load using oscilloscope.
6. Note down the input voltage, firing angle and output voltage readings in the TABULAR
FORMS.
7. Draw the waveforms in the graph at 0, 45, 90, 135 and 180 Deg. firing angles.
