STUDY OF SYMBOLSAIM:

To study the various symbols used in electric circuits.

COMPONENT CIRCUIT SYMBOL DESCRIPTION

WIRE CONNECTIONS

Wire To pass current very easily from one partof a circuit to another.

Wires joined

A 'blob' should be drawn where wires areconnected (joined), but it is sometimesomitted. Wires connected at 'crossroads'should be staggered slightly to form two T-junctions, as shown on the right.

Wires not joined

In complex diagrams it is often necessaryto draw wires crossing even though theyare not connected. I prefer the 'bridge'symbol shown on the right because thesimple crossing on the left may be misreadas a join where you have forgotten to add a'blob'!

POWER SUPPLIES

Cell

Supplies electrical energy.The larger terminal (on the left) is positive(+).A single cell is often called a battery, butstrictly a battery is two or more cells joinedtogether.

Battery

Supplies electrical energy. A battery ismore than one cell. The larger terminal (onthe left) is positive (+). The smallerterminal (on the right) is negative (-).

DC supplySupplies electrical energy.DC = Direct Current, always flowing inone direction.

AC supplySupplies electrical energy.AC = Alternating Current, continuallychanging direction.

FuseA safety device which will 'blow' (melt) ifthe current flowing through it exceeds aspecified value.

Page 4: Engineering Practices Lab

Transformer

Two coils of wire linked by an iron core.Transformers are used to step up (increase)and step down (decrease) AC voltages.Energy is transferred between the coils bythe magnetic field in the core. There is noelectrical connection between the coils.

Earth(Ground)

A connection to earth. For many electroniccircuits this is the 0V (zero volts) of thepower supply, but for mains electricity andsome radio circuits it really means theearth. It is also known as ground.

OUTPUT DEVICES: LAMPS, HEATER, MOTOR, etc.

Lamp (lighting)

A transducer which converts electricalenergy to light. This symbol is used for alamp providing illumination, for example acar headlamp or torch bulb.

Lamp (indicator)

A transducer which converts electricalenergy to light. This symbol is used for alamp which is an indicator, for example awarning light on a car dashboard.

Heater A transducer which converts electricalenergy to heat.

Motor A transducer which converts electricalenergy to kinetic energy (motion).

Bell A transducer which converts electricalenergy to sound.

Buzzer A transducer which converts electricalenergy to sound.

Inductor(Coil, Solenoid)

A coil of wire which creates a magneticfield when current passes through it. It mayhave an iron core inside the coil. It can beused as a transducer converting electricalenergy to mechanical energy by pulling onsomething.

Switches

Push Switch(push-to-make)

A push switch allows current to flow onlywhen the button is pressed. This is theswitch used to operate a doorbell.

Page 5: Engineering Practices Lab

3

Push-to-BreakSwitch

This type of push switch is normally closed(on), it is open (off) only when the buttonis pressed.

On-Off Switch(SPSTS)

SPSTS = Single Pole Single ThrowSwitch. An on-off switch allows current toflow only when it is in the closed (on)position.

2-way Switch(SPDTS)

SPDTS = Single Pole Double ThrowSwitch. A 2-way changeover switch directsthe flow of current to one of two routesaccording to its position. Some SPDTswitches have a central off position and aredescribed as 'on-off-on'.

Dual On-OffSwitch

(DPSTS)

DPST = Double Pole, Single ThrowSwitch. A dual on-off switch which isoften used to switch mains electricitybecause it can isolate both the live andneutral connections.

Reversing Switch(DPDTS)

DPDT = Double Pole, Double ThrowSwitch. This switch can be wired up as areversing switch for a motor. Some DPDTswitches have a central off position.

Relay

An electrically operated switch, forexample a 9V battery circuit connected tothe coil can switch a 230V AC mainscircuit.NO = Normally Open, COM = Common,NC = Normally Closed.

Resistors

Resistor A resistor restricts the flow of current, forexample to limit the current passingthrough an LED. A resistor is used with acapacitor in a timing circuit.Some publications still use the old resistorsymbol:

Variable Resistor(Rheostat)

This type of variable resistor with 2contacts (a rheostat) is usually used tocontrol current. Examples include:adjusting lamp brightness, adjusting motorspeed, and adjusting the rate of flow ofcharge into a capacitor in a timing circuit.

Page 6: Engineering Practices Lab

4

Variable Resistor(Potentiometer)

This type of variable resistor with 3contacts (a potentiometer) is usually usedto control voltage. It can be used like thisas a transducer converting position (angleof the control spindle) to an electricalsignal.

Variable Resistor(Preset)

This type of variable resistor (a preset) isoperated with a small screwdriver orsimilar tool. It is designed to be set whenthe circuit is made and then left withoutfurther adjustment. Presets are cheaperthan normal variable resistors so they areoften used in projects to reduce the cost.

CAPACITORS

Capacitor

A capacitor stores electric charge. Acapacitor is used with a resistor in a timingcircuit. It can also be used as a filter, toblock DC signals but pass AC signals.

Capacitorpolarized

A capacitor stores electric charge. Thistype must be connected the correct wayround. A capacitor is used with a resistor ina timing circuit. It can also be used as afilter, to block DC signals but pass ACsignals.

CONDUCTOR:

Any pure metal which offers low resistance to the passage of electric current

is called a conductor. The current is taken from one place to the other by means of

a conductor. Copper is used as a conductor in majority of applications.

INSULATION CONVERING:

It is the covering which bounds the current flow in a definite path. The

insulation of the cable must be strong enough because a leakage current will start

giving electrical shocks and cause fire.

PROTECTIVE COVERING:

It protects the insulation covering against any mechanical injury.

3. Choke

4. Fluorescent materials

5. Filaments

The inside surface of the fluorescent tube is coated with a thin layer of fluorescent

material in the form of powder. The tube also contains low pressure argon gas and

one or two drops of mercury. The two filaments are coated with electron emissive

material. The starter (initially in closed position) puts the filaments directly across

the supply mains at the time of starting, there by initiating emission of electrons.

After 1 or 2 seconds the starter switch gets opened. The interruption of current

makes the choke to act like ballast providing a voltage impulse across the

filaments. Due to this, ionization of argon takes place. Mercury vapour arc

provides a conducting path between the filaments. The starter used may be of

thermal starter or glow starter whose function is to complete the circuit initially for

preheating the filaments (to initiate emission of electrons) and then to open the

circuit for high voltage across choke for initiating ionization.

PROCEDURE:

First the layout diagram of the electrical circuit is made.

The connections are made as per the wiring diagram.

The output is verified.

RESULT:

Thus the fluorescent lamp circuit connection was given and studied.

THEORY:

A wattmeter is an instrument specially designed to measure average power

consumed by a load. It has two coils:A current coil that measures the current and a

voltage coil that measures the voltage. The wattmeter takes into account the phase

shift, if there is any between the current sensed by its current coil and the voltage

sensed by its voltage coil. If the voltage drop across as measured the voltage coil is

Vm cos(ωt + Ф) A, then the average power P measured by the wattmeter in watts is

½ Vm Im Cos Ф,where Ф = is the power factor angle. The voltage coil of the

wattmeter, its reading will be 0.707 Vm.

Power in Watts = Voltage in Volts x Current in Amperes

True Energy in KWh = No. of Revolution / Energy Meter Constant

% Error = True Energy – Actual Energy x 100Actual Energy

THEORY:

An induction type meter is commonly used. It consists of two magnets, the

upper and lower magnets. The upper magnet carries a pressure coil, which is made

up of a thin wire and has large number of turns. This coil has to be connected in

parallel with the supply. The lower magnet carries the current coil which is made

Page 28: Engineering Practices Lab

26

Page 29: Engineering Practices Lab

27

up of a thick wire and has only few turns. This coil is to be connected in series with

the load. An aluminum disc mounted on the spindle is placed between the upper

and lower magnets. The disc can rotate freely between the magnets. Another

permanent magnet called as brake magnet is used for providing breaking torque

on the aluminium disc.

The power consumed is measured in terms of number rotations of the disc.

For example 1800 revolutions of the disc means 1 KWH power consumed by the

load connected to the energy meter.

PRECAUTIONS:

Single phase variac should be kept at minimum position, during starting

period.

No load should be connected when the DPSTS is closed or opened.

PROCEDURE:

The connections are made as per the circuit diagram.

Rated Voltage is set in the voltmeter, by gradually varying the single phase

variac.

Resistive load is switch ON.

Load is gradually increased and the ammeter, voltmeter & Energy meter

readings are noted.

RESULT:

Thus the Energy consumed by a single phase resistive load was measured.

STUDY OF MEASUREMENT OF RESISTANCE USING COLOR CODING

AIM:

To study the measurement of value of resistance using color coding

REFERENCE:

1. Engineering Practices Laboratory by V. Ramesh Babu – VRB Publishers.

2. Engineering Practice by M.S. Kumar – D D Publications.

MATERIALS REQUIRED:

1. Resistors

2. Multimeter

THEORY:

A resistor is a passive component. It introduces resistance in the circuit.

Resistance is basic property of conducting material and is given by

R = ρL/ A

Where,

ρ - Specified resistivity.

L - Length of the material.

A - Area of cross section of material.

We have a number of type of resistors such as carbon composition, metal

film, carbon film wire wound and variable resistors.

In our laboratory carbon resistors are used. For resistance of the order of

mega ohms, we use powdered carbon mixed with a suitable building material in

the proper proportion. Carbon resistors are quite cheap, but the value of resistance

may be easily affected by atmospheric changes and is also susceptible to high

tolerance.

IDENTIFICATION MARKING OF RESISTORS

Universally recognized approaches have been established to identify the

electrical values. Two such markings are

(i) Colour code.

(ii) Alpha numeric code.

Normally in our laboratories low wattage general purpose resistors are

used. In this colour coding method is used to identify the value of the resistance.

In our colour coding method the value of the resistance is coded on the

resistor using three or four colour bands. The first two colour band gives the first

two significant digital values. The third band gives the value of multiplier. Fourth

band gives the tolerance value.

RESULT:

Thus the value of resistor using colour coding was studied and measured.

THEORY:

The Cathode Ray Oscilloscope is an extremely useful and versatile as laboratory

instrument for studying wave shapes of alternating currents and voltages as well as for

measurement of voltage, current and frequency. It generates the electron a high velocity,

deflects the beam to create the image and contains a phosphor beam, to screen where the

electron beam becomes visible. For accomplishing these tasks various electrical signals and

voltages are required, which are provided by the power supply circuit of the oscilloscope.

Low voltage supply is required for the heater of the electron gun for generation of electron

beam and high voltage is required for cathode ray tube to accelerate the beam. Normal

voltage supply is required for other control circuits of the oscilloscope. Electron beam

deflects in two directions horizontal on X axis and vertical on Y axis.

For measurement of direct voltage, firstly the spot is centered on the screen without

applying signal any voltage to the deflection plates. Then direst voltage to be measured is

applied between a pair of depletion plates and deflection of the spot is observed on the

screen. The magnitude of the deflection multiplied is the deflection factor gives the value of

direct voltage applied.

In case of measurement alternating voltage of sinusoidal waveform it is applied between a

pair of deflection plates and the length of the straight line is measured. Knowing be

determined the deflection sensitivity the peak to peak value of applied ac voltage can be

determined.

PROCEDURE:

1. The circuit connections are given as per the circuit diagram.

2. The sinusoidal voltage is applied with the help of AFO.

3. Readings are taken for different magnitudes and frequencies.

RESULT:

Thus the Peak – Peak Magnitude of the voltage, RMS Value of the Voltage, Time

Period, Frequency are measured with help up CRO.

c. NOT gate:

A NOT gate is the physical realization of the complementation

operation. It is an electronic circuit which generates an output signal

which is the reverse of the input signal. A NOT gate is also known as

an inverter because it inverts the input.

d. NAND gate:

A NAND gate is a complemented AND gate. The output of the NAND

gate will be ‘0’ if all the input signals are ‘1’ and will be ‘1’ if any one of

the input signal is ‘0’.

e. NOR gate:

A NOR gate is a complemented OR gate. The output of the OR gate

will be ‘1’ if all the inputs are ‘0’ and will be ‘0’ if any one of the input

signal is ‘1’.

f. EX-OR gate:

An Ex-OR gate performs the following Boolean function,

A B = ( A . B’ ) + ( A’ . B )

It is similar to OR gate but excludes the combination of both A and B

being equal to one. The exclusive OR is a function that give an output

signal ‘0’ when the two input signals are equal either ‘0’ or ‘1’.

PROCEDURE:

Connections are given as per the circuit diagram

THEORY:

Half wave rectifier converts alternating voltage into unidirectional

pulsating voltage. The half wave rectifier circuit using a diode with a load

resistance R. The diode is connected in series with the secondary of the

transformer and the load resistance R, the primary of the transformer is being

connected to the supply mains. The AC voltage across the secondary winding

changes polarities after every half cycle. During the positive half cycles of the

input AC voltage i.e. when upper end of the secondary winding is positive

with respect to its lower end, the diode is forward biased and therefore

current conducts. During the negative half cycles of the input AC voltage i.e.

when lower end of the secondary winding is positive with respect to its upper

end, the diode is reverse biased and does not conduct. Thus for the negative

half cycles no power is delivered to the load. Since only one half cycles of the

input wave is converted as output, it is called as Half Wave Rectifier.

In Full Wave Rectifier the diode D2 and D4 will conduct during

the positive half of the input signal and during the negative half cycle of the

input signal the diode D1 andD3 conducts. Hence both the half cycles are

converted into output and the efficiency is high compared with the half wave

rectifier.

PROCEDURE:

1. Circuit connections were given as per the circuit diagram.

2. Input waveform’s magnitude and frequency was measured with the

help of CRO.

3. Supply is switched ON and the output waveform was obtained in the

CRO.

4. Output waveform’s magnitude and time period was measured.

5. Graphs were plotted for Half wave and Full wave rectifier outputs.

RESULT:

Thus the output of Half wave and Full wave rectifiers were obtained

and the curves were plotted.

MEASUREMENT OF RESISTANCE TO EARTH OF ELECTRICAL

EQUIPMENT

AIM:

To measure the resistance to earth / insulation resistance of the order of

mega ohms.

REFERENCE:

1. Engineering Practices Laboratory by V. Ramesh Babu – VRB Publishers.

2. Engineering Practice by M.S. Kumar – D D Publications.

THEORY:

Megger is the equipment used in this experiment. It is an instrument

for testing the insulation resistance of the order of mega ohms.

PRINCIPLE:

A megger consists of an EMF source and a Voltmeter. The voltmeter

scale is calibrated in ohms. In measurement, the EMF of the self contained

source should be equal that of the source used in calibration. The deflection of

the moving system depends on the ratio of the currents in the coils and is

independent of the applied voltage. The value of unknown resistance can be

found directly from the scale of the instrument. Figure shows the detailed

diagram of a megger. It consists of hand driven dc generator and ohmmeter, a

small permanent magnet. Hand driven dc generator generates a EMF about

500V. The permanent dc meter has two moving coils. First one is deflecting

coil and another one controlling coil. The deflecting coil is connected to the

generator through a resistor R. The torque due to the two coils opposes each

other. It consists of three terminals E, L and G.

OPERATION:

When the terminals are open circuited, no current flows through the

deflecting coil. The torque due to the controlling coil moves the pointer to one

end of the scale. When the terminals are short circuited, the torque due to the

controlling coil and the pointer is deflected to the other end of the scale, i.e.

zero mark. In between the two extreme positions the scale is calibrated to

indicate the value of unknown resistance directly. The unknown insulation

resistance is connected across E and L terminals. The effective insulation

resistance is the combination of insulation volume resistance and surface

leakage resistance. The guard wire terminal makes the surface leakage current

to by pass the instrument hence only insulation resistance is measured.

RESULT:

Thus the resistance to earth / insulation resistance of the order of mega

ohms can be measured.
