THEORY:
Alternator is a machine, which converts mechanical energy to electrical energy.
Regulation of an Alternator can be calculated by synchronous impedance
method. In OC test the terminals of the alternator are kept opened and a
voltmeter is connected. Keeping speed constant, a relation b/w field current &
open circuit voltage are obtained. In SC test, the terminals are short circuited
with a suitable ammeter & a relation b/w field current & short circuit Current
are obtained.
Voltage regulation:
It is defined as the rise in terminal voltage of an isolated Machine when
full load is thrown off w.r.t voltage on the full load, when speed &
excitation remaining constant.
Now,
Syn.Impedance (ZS) = OC voltage / SC Current

9. Now connect ( R, B, Y, N) and Field (F1, F2) the Generator to the respective
terminals on the panel in circuit diagram.
10. Switch ON the single phase AC supply and Move the MCB /DP in
upward direction i.e. ON position.
OC test:
1) Move the handle of 3 point starter to left side now the DC motor run
with synchronous speed.
2) Now Switch Sw1 is open position.
3) Now keeping the field current at zero, note the induced emf in
armature duo to residual Magnetism.
4) Now increase the DC Excitation Voltage by moving the Excitation Voltage
control knob towards clockwise direction slowly and observe that there
will be rise in AC Voltmeter (V2).
SC test:
1) Now short terminal R, Y and B Given on the front panel.
2) Now short Sw1 terminals.
3) Move the handle of 3 point starter to Right side now the DC motor run
with synchronous speed.
4) Now increase the DC Excitation Voltage by moving the Excitation Voltage
control knob towards clockwise direction slowly and observe that there
will be rise in AC Ammeter (A2).
