Procedure:
1. Install the required modules in the experimental frame. Construct the circuit in accordance with the circuit diagram in Figure (1) and the connection diagram in Figure
(2). The single-phase transformer is connected to a purely resistive load.
2. Sequentially turn on the 3-P current limit protection switch and three-phase power
supply modules
3. Record the rms voltage, current, real power, and power factor values from digital
ACA, ACV, and power analysis meters for each of switch positions of the resistive load
module in Table (1).

curve I2 .
8. Repeat the procedure with inductive load and fill the Table (2),
9. Repeat the procedure with inductive load and fill the Table (3).
Question(s):
Explain the main features you have learned from the experiments. Additionally, plot
graphs of efficiency and regulation to the base of primary current. Discuss on the
graphics obtained from the tests and comment on the results in your report.
Supplementary Information: Calculate the power factor, secondary real/reactive power,
