DC Machines Lab Manual

The document describes experiments to characterize the performance of various DC machines, including generators and motors. It provides the apparatus used, which includes voltmeters, ammeters, rheostats, and the machines under test. The aims are to draw internal and external characteristics of a compound generator, determine efficiency of identical DC shunt machines, plot open circuit characteristics of a separately excited DC generator, and conduct load tests on DC series and shunt motors to determine their performance characteristics. Diagrams of circuit connections are also mentioned.

THEORY:-
The method of adding the series field flux with the shunt field flux is known as
compounding. According to method of compounding the compound generators are
classified into two categories.
i) Cumulatively compounding generator.
ii) Differential compounding generator.
In cumulative compounding generator the flux produced by the series field winding
must be right direction with the shunt field flux. ie the series field flux in phase
with the shunt field flux. But in the case of differential compounding generator the
flux produced by the series field winding is in such a direction that it should oppose
