PARALLEL OPERATION OF TWO SINGLE PHASE TRANSFORMERS
AIM: Parallel operation of two dissimilar (2 KVA, 3 KVA) single phase transformers and
determination of load sharing and analytical verification given the short circuit test details.
EQUIPMENTS REQUIRED:
PROCEDURE :
a) Make connections as per circuit diagram; keep the Load switch (DPST) and SPST(S1) switch
open.
b) First, Perform polarity test on each of the units and note down terminals with the same
polarity.
c) Switch ON the main supply, see the voltmeter reading of V connected across SPST switch, if
this reading double the secondary voltage of both the transformers then switch OFF main
supply and interchange the connections of secondary of any transformers.
d) If it reads zero which confirms that two transformers are connected correctly and parallel
then switch SPST(S1)can be closed, this way the polarity can be checked.(since wrong
polarity will short circuit the transformer if operated in parallel).
e) Also, confirm that no load voltages of both the transformers match in magnitude.
(It is important to perform both these tests before attempting the parallel operation).
f) As we are not applied load on the Transformers, the ammeters shows zero readings.
g) Start applying the load on transformers, then T/F-1 and T/F-2 starts drawing the
corresponding currents as per their ratings.
h) Note down the corresponding current readings I1 , I2 & IL .
i) As we increase the load the corresponding values of currents I1 , I2 & IL increases.
j) Repeat the procedure for 4 to 6 readings by applying load stepwise.
k) Once the readings are noted down switch off the loads gradually, open SPST switch and
switch OFF the main supply.
l)
a) Connections are made as shown in the circuit diagram for SC test for each Transformer.
b) Keeping the auto transformer at zero output position close the supply switch.
c) Vary the auto transformer till the ammeter reads the rated full-load current of the
Transformer under test.
d) Note down the ammeter, voltmeter and wattmeter readings.
e) Bring the auto transformer to zero output position and open the supply switch.
f) Tabulate the readings, disconnect the windings.
(Note : Impedance calculating should be in (a+jb) rectangular form and load sharing shall be
reported in the tabular column in a+jb form.)

SYNCHRONIZATION OF ALTERNATOR WITH SUPPLY MAINS BY BRIGHT LAMP METHOD
AIM: To study the synchronization of alternator with infinite bus bar by bright lamp method.
APPARATUS REQUIRED:
CIRCUIT DIAGRAM:
THEORY:
1. As the load increases beyond the total capacity of connected generators, additional units are
paralleled to reach the demand. Similarly if demand decrease, some units are removed from
service. This enables the units to operate at or close to their full load ratings & thereby the
efficiency of generation is maximum.
2. Synchronization of alternator. Synchronization of alternator means connecting
an alternator into grid in parallel with many other alternators that is in a live system of
constant voltage and constant frequency. ... It is also said that the alternator is connected to
infinite bus-bar.
3. A stationary alternator is never connected to live bus-bars, because it will result in short
circuit in the stator winding (since there is no generated emf yet). Before connecting an
alternator into grid, following conditions must be satisfied:
4. Equal voltage: The terminal voltage of incoming alternator must be equal to the bus-bar
voltage.
5. Similar frequency: The frequency of generated voltage must be equal to the frequency of
the bus-bar voltage.
6. Phase sequence: The phase sequence of the three phases of alternator must be similar to
that of the grid or bus-bars.
7. Phase angle: The phase angle between the generated voltage and the voltage of grid must be
zero.
8. The first condition of voltage equality can be satisfied by a voltmeter. To satisfy the
conditions of equal frequency and identical phases, one of the following two methods can be
used:
(i) Synchronization using incandescent lamp
a) Bright Lamp method.
b) Dark lamp method.
c) Two bright and one dark method.
(ii) Synchronization using synchroscope.
9. Case-I:
A) Let us see the case where the phase sequence of the incoming machine is in reverse to
that of the running machine:
i) Even if the generators A & B are running at exactly the same speed, the voltage
across the lamps, namely RR’, YY’, BB’ vary independently.
ii) With the result that the lamps attain brightness and die down in rotation and we
can conclude that the machine can’t be synchronized.
Case-II:
B) Let us see the case where the phase sequence of the incoming machine is the same as that
of the running machine :
i) If the voltage of each system reach their maximum in the order RYBR and R’Y’B’R’
respectively, then the voltages are of similar phase sequence.
ii) The voltages across the lamps are now of equal magnitude at any instant, and are
thus all dark (or) all bright together.
iii) It is clear that the alternators are in perfect synchronism when the lamps are
simultaneously dark.
iv) Thus the new synchronized alternator can be connected to infinite bus bar.
PROCEDURE:
1. Make the connection as per the circuit diagram.
2. Before starting the experiment, the potential divider (rheostat) in the alternator field circuit
set maximum position and field regulator rheostat of motor circuit is set minimum resistance
position.
3. Switch ON the supply and close the DPST switch. The DC motor is started by moving starter
handle.
4. Adjust the field rheostat of DC motor to attain rated speed (equal to synchronous speed of
alternator)
5. Increase excitation current of incoming alternator gradually until we get terminal voltage is
equal to the bus bar voltage (supply mains voltage) by decreasing the field resistance and it
is confirmed by voltmeter connected across supply mains and incoming alternator.
6. Connect the Lamps across the incoming alternator and supply mains (infinite bus bar)
phases such as
A1 (R) is connected to B2 (Y1) ,
B1 (Y) is connected to C2 (B1) and
C1 (B) is connected to A2 (R1).
7. Observe if all the three lamps get bright and dark together, this means that the phase
sequence is correct.
8. Then close the synchronizing switch in the middle of the bright period.

LOAD TEST ON SINGLE PHASE TRANSFORMER
AIM : To determine the efficiency and voltage regulation of a single Phase Transformer by
Direct applying of different loads on secondary side of transformer.
APPARATUS REQUIRED:
THEORY:
A Transformer is a static device which transfers the electrical energy from one circuit to
another circuit with changes in voltages and current but without any change in the frequency.
When the secondary is loaded the secondary current I2 is setup. The magnitude and
phase of I2 with respect to V2 is determined by the characteristics of the load. The secondary
current sets up its own mmf and hence its own flux ф2 which is in opposition to main primary
flux ф which is due to I0 the secondary ampere turns N2*I2 are known as demagnetizing
ampere turns .The opposing secondary flux I2 weakens the primary flux Φ momentary. Hence
primary back Emf E1 tends to be reduced. For a movement V1 gain the upper hand over E1 and
hence causes more current to flow in primary.
Let the additional primary current be I21 .It is known as load component of primary
current. This current is anti phase with I21 the additional primary mmf N1*I2 sets up its own
flux Φ21 which is in opposite to Φ2 and is equal to its magnitude. Hence the two cancel each
other out. So the magnetic effects of secondary current I2 are immediately neutralized by the
additional primary current I21.Hence whatever the load conditions be, the net flux passing
through core is approximately the same as no-load.
PROCEDURE:
1) Connect the circuit diagram such that the supply on LV side and load on HV side as
shown the figure.
2) Gradually increase the voltage using auto-transformer till the voltmeter reads the rated
voltage 230V, on LV side and also record the voltage on HV side.
3) Maintain the voltage V1 to be constant for all loads.
4) Switch on the load switches one by one record the ammeter, voltmeter and wattmeter’s
readings.
5) After noting the values, gradually decrease the load and set the Auto-Transformer zero
voltage position and Switch off the supply.
