    This document describes an experiment to conduct a slip test on a 3-phase salient pole synchronous motor to determine the direct axis synchronous reactance (Xd) and quadrature axis synchronous reactance (Xq). The experiment involves connecting the motor to a 3-phase AC supply through a variac and DC motor. By noting the maximum and minimum currents and voltages while slowly varying the speed, the Xd and Xq values can be calculated from the synchronous impedances using standard formulas. Precautions are given to avoid errors and sample viva questions are provided at the end.

    The passage discusses conducting a slip test on a salient pole synchronous motor to determine its direct axis reactance (Xd) and quadrature axis reactance (Xq).

    The aim of the experiment is to conduct a slip test and determine Xd and Xq of a salient-pole synchronous machine.

    The steps involve making connections as per the circuit diagram, running the alternator near synchronous speed with AC supply off, increasing variac output voltage, noting maximum and minimum currents and voltages when oscillations are slow and wide.

    PROCEDURE:

    1. Make the connections as per the circuit diagram.


    2. Run the alternator through the DC Motor at near synchronous speed, keeping the AC supply off.
    3. Keeping the variac output voltage at minimum, connect the AC supply to the variac.
    4. Note that the field winding is to be kept open throughout.
    5. Increase the variac output voltage so that a reasonable current passes through the armature.
    6. If the directions of rotation of the rotor and stator fields are the same, then a slight adjustment of
    speed causes significant oscillation of the armature current. Else reverse the direction of rotation of
    motor.
    7. When the ammeter shows slow but wide oscillations note Imax and Imin and the corresponding
    voltages Vmin and Vmax and calculate Xd and Xq.

    CALULATIONS:

    Direct Axis Synchronous Impedance Zd = Maximum Voltage per phase/ Minimum Current per phase
    Quadrature Axis Synchronous Impedance Zq=Minimum Voltage per phase/ Maximum Current per Phase

    Direct Axis Synchronous Reactance Xd = (Zd2-Ra2)0.5


    Quadrature Axis Synchronous Reactance Xq= (Zq2-Ra2)0.5
