Winding Resistance in AC Machines Experiment

The document outlines an experiment to measure the winding resistance of the stator and rotor of an AC alternator. It details the components required, the procedure for measuring resistance, and the calculations needed to determine average resistance values at room temperature and at a conventional temperature of 75°C. Typical results for the stator and field resistance are provided as 0.3 Ω and 0.433 Ω, respectively.

Procedure

 Assemble the stator of the alternating current machine completed with ring rotor and
brushes. Follow the circuit shown in the previous electrical diagram 1(armature
resistance).
 Set the dc power supply for a direct voltage 0-8V.
 Set on the measurement module DL 10060 the voltmeter and ammeter for direct
current measurements and observe the polarity (+ at red terminal).
 Activate the supply module and supply the armature circuit with the current values
shown in the table and for each one of them measure the voltage at the stator terminal,
by carrying out in sequence the measurements between the terminal pairs.
 After having recorded the room temperature, write the measured values in the table.

position “on”).
 Set on the measurement module DL 10060 the voltmeter and ammeter for direct
current measurements and observe the polarity (+ at red terminal).
 Activate the supply module and supply the armature circuit with the current values
shown in the table and for each one of them measure the voltage at the stator terminal,
by carrying out in sequence the measurements between the terminal pairs.
