    This document describes a procedure to conduct a slip test on a 3-phase salient pole alternator to determine its regulation through vector diagrams. Key steps include: 1) Connecting the alternator to a motor and adjusting the motor speed to just below synchronous speed. 2) Applying voltage to the alternator armature and recording maximum/minimum voltage and current values. 3) Drawing vector diagrams to determine direct and quadrature axis impedances based on the recorded values. 4) Calculating percentage regulation using the no-load voltage and formulas provided.

    8. REGULATION OF 3-PHASE SALIENT POLE ALTERNATOR BY SLIP TEST

    AIM:
    To conduct a slip test on 3-Ф salient pole alternator and pre-determine the regulation
    through vector diagram.

    APPARATUS REQUIRED:

    S.no Name of Apparatus Range Type Quantity


    1 Ammeter (0-5)A MI 1
    (0-1)A MC 1
    2 Voltmeter (0-150)V MI 1
    (0-5)V MC 1
    3 Rheostat 250 Ω /1.5A 1
    4 Tachometer Digital 1
    5 TPST Switch 1
    6 Connecting Wires As reqd.

    FUSE RATING:

    (a)For Motor- 125% of rated current


    = 125% of 17A=21.25A=25A

    (b)For Alternator- 125% of rated current


    =125% of 4A= 5A

    PRECAUTIONS:

    1. The motor field rheostat should be kept in minimum.


    2. The direction of the rotation due to prime mover and the alternator on the motor
    should be the same.
    3. Initially all the switches are kept open.
    PROCEDURE:

    1. Note down the name plate details of motor and alternator.


    2. Connections are made as per the circuit diagram.
    3. Give the supply by closing the DPST switch.
    4. Using the three point starter, start the motor to run at the synchronous speed by
    varying the motor field rheostat at the same time check whether the alternator field
    has been opened or not.
    5. Apply 20% to 30% of the rated voltage to the armature of the alternator by adjusting
    the autotransformer.
    6. To obtain the slip and the maximum oscillation of pointers the speed is reduced
    slightly lesser than the synchronous speed.
    7. Maximum current, minimum current, maximum voltage and minimum voltage are
    noted.
    8. Find out the direct and quadrature axis impedances.

    PROCEDURE TO DRAW THE VECTOR DIAGRAM:

    1. Draw the line OA that represents the rated voltage V.


    2. Draw the line OB vector to represent the rated current I, which makes an angle Φ (it
    may lag/lead/in phase) with the voltage.
    3. Draw the line AC vector to represent IRa drop, which is parallel to OB vector.
    4. Draw the perpendicular line CD to the line AC (IRa drop) that represents IXq drop.
    5. Draw the line from the origin through the point D, which represents the no load
    voltage (Eo).
    6. Draw the pole axis through origin, which should be perpendicular to vector OD.
    7. Draw a perpendicular line to the pole axis from the same point E which should pass
    through the point B [where vector OE represents Direct Axis Current (Id) and Vector
    EB represents Quadrature Axis Current (Iq)].
    8. Find out the reactive voltage drops IdXd and IqXq.
    9. Draw a parallel line (ie perpendicular to Id) to OD vector from the point C, with the
    magnitude of the drop IdXd (Line CF).
    10. Draw a parallel line (ie perpendicular to Iq) to OE vector from the point F, with the
    magnitude of the drop IqXq (Line FG).
    11. Let the point at where the IqXq drop meets the OD line be G. here the vector OG
    represents the no load voltage (Eo).
    12. Find out the voltage regulation by using the suitable formula.

    FORMULAE USED:

    1. Rac=1.6Rac Ω

    2. Zd = Vmax/Imin Ω

    3. Zq = Vmin/Imax Ω

    4. Xd = √Zd2 – Rd2 Ω

    5. Xq = √Zq2 – Rd2 Ω

    6. Id = Ia sinФ amps

    7. Iq = Ia cos Ф amps

    8. %Reg = (Eo-V/V)*100

    Where,

    Zd = direct axis impedance in Ω


    Zq = quadrate axis impedance in Ω
    Xd = direct axis reactance in Ω
    Xq = quadrate axis reactance in Ω
    Id = direct axis current in amps
    Ia = quadrate axis current in amps
