    This document outlines the procedure for conducting a field's test on two similar DC series machines to determine their efficiency curves. It describes connecting the motor and generator together mechanically and electrically, applying a variable load to the generator by adjusting a rheostat, and measuring voltages, currents, speeds, and power to calculate the efficiencies of both machines at different loads. Key steps include connecting the field windings in series, running the machines at the same speed, varying the generator load, and recording measurements in a table to plot efficiency curves for the motor and generator.

    FIELDS TEST ON DC SERIES MACHINE


    AIM: To conduct Fields Test of two similar machines and draw efficiency curves. APPARATUS: S.No 1 2 3 4 5 Name of the Equipment Ammeter Ammeter Voltmeter Rheostat Tachometer Range 0 20A 0 10A 0 -300V 13.6 /20A 0- 10,000rpm Wire wound Digital Type M.C M.C M.C Qty. 1No 1No. 3Nos 1No. 1No.

    THEORY:This test is applicable to two similar series motors. Series motors which are mainly used for traction work are easily available impairs In this method two identical coupled machines mechanically and electrically coupled are required. This test gives efficiency of both machines, M acting as motor drives machineG as a generator. The series field of both M & G are connected in series with motor armature in order that the load is not thrown off accidentally the generator armature is connected to load directly with out any switch.. One machine runs normally as a motor and drives generator whose output is wasted in a variable load resistance. Iron and friction losses of two machines are made equal (i) by joining the series field winding of the generator in the motor armature circuit so that both machines are equally excited and (ii) by running them at equal speed PROCEDURE:1. Connect the circuit as shown in figure. 2. By closing the DPST switch apply 220V D.C Supply 3. Adjust the motor rheostat such that motor attains rated speed. 4. Vary the load resistance and note down voltmeter or ammeter reading. 5. Load resistance is varied until the motor current reaches its full load.

    Precautions:1. 2. 3. 4. RESULT:The field test on two similar machines is conducted and also efficiency curves are drawn for both generator & motor. The motor should must be started with any load. Motor rheostat should be kept in maximum resistance position. Both motor and generator should be coupled before starting the system. Readings should be taken with out parallax error.
