EXPERIMENT PROCEDURE
5.1

EXERCISE 1 : CONTROL CIRCUIT

5.1.1

Connect the control circuit as shown in Figure 1(a)

or 1(b).

5.1.2

This circuit become to single phase. Take the

incoming supply from 1 to 3 phase line (either R or
Y or B).

5.1.3

Connect this circuit line back to the neutral (N) by

using black cable.

5.1.4

Test this circuit with power supply to make

operation of controlling circuit.

5.1.5

See the operation of this control circuit.
