EXPERIMENT 1
Introduction :
In an electrical distribution system the electrical power source are generated at far distances,
transmitted and utilized by consumers of industrial, commercial and domestic. It is unavoidable
that the supply voltage varies according to the loads connected by the consumers. The voltage
variations are usually subjected to time and day, where peak and low demands affecting the
supply voltage levels. On the other hands other disturbances are observed due to power quality
issues. Nevertheless, at any time it is the act that the utility or power provider has to regulate the
voltage to be around 5% of the nominal value at consumer side. Many strategies being
implemented to fulfill the objective which one of it is by using autotransformer.
This lab experiment is to study the effect of load variation and disturbances with respect to the
supply voltage as the real concept in normal distribution system using lab scale autotransformer
module. The student will be grouped in three and to discuss their own experiment procedure
guided by lab facilitator to fulfill the following objectives.
Objectives :
Be aware !!! The provided lab equipments and accessories have their rated handling capacity
limitation. Be alert. Do not exceed the limits.
2) Multimeters -2 units
* Do ensure and double-check the connection is correct for ammeter and voltmeter measurement.
b) Discuss in detail on procedure and steps to characterize the autotransformer using available
load banks. (20 marks)
i- Results data. (10 marks)
ii- Results graph with comments. (15 marks)
c) Based on result and graph trend you obtained in (b), discuss and suggest the transition strategy
between the taps such that the 5% regulations is achieved. (10 marks)
d) Both utility and consumer side are capable of introducing power quality issues per stated in
Appendix 1. Using Tektronix Oscilloscope, simulate and screenshot three of these power
quality figures that you understood. (15 marks)
g) Proofread and organize your report format. List down your name, matrix number, program and
serial number of the module used in the lab. (5 marks)
