Eqs.1.3 and 1.5 show that we can find the power and power factor in an a.c.
circuits by using 3- single phase ammeters, instead of a wattmeter.
CALCULATION:For each set of observation calculate the power consumed (Eq 1.5) and the
power factor (Eq 1.3). Next take the average of all the set of calculation for
cos i.e., power factor; and P i.e., power consumed in the load.
RESULT:The power factor of the circuit and the power consumed in circuit should be
recorded here.
PRECAUTIONS:- Following precautions should be taken care of while
performing this
experiment.
OBJECTIVE: To measure the amplitude & phase angle in the series R-L circuit By 3 voltmeter
method .
PROCEDURE :
Connect the circuit as shown in the diagram.
Adjust the rheostat for maximum resistance and the auto transformer to the position of
zero-output voltage
Connect the potentiometer dial type or rectangular type.
switch on the supply.
Adjust the voltage across the circuit to about 0-230 V.
Note down the value of current and voltage & power factor.
Adjust the rheostat for several settings and repeat step 3.
Compare the values of phase angle as obtained from the meter readings and from the
phasor diagrams. (From the phasor diagrams compute cos and as given in the last two
columns of the table). Draw phasor diagrams showing VR, VL, Vs, & I for different sets
of readings.
