Exp. 1 - An Introduction To Magnetic Circuits

This document describes an electrical engineering laboratory experiment on measuring power in three-phase circuits. The objectives are to determine power consumed using 2-wattmeter and 3-wattmeter methods for star and delta connections under balanced and unbalanced loads. Students will also construct phasor diagrams for unbalanced loads and understand how active, reactive power and power factor are measured using wattmeters. The lab has equipment for balanced and unbalanced three-phase loads at rated line and phase voltages, as well as a three-phase autotransformer. Students will construct circuits and conduct experiments to collect data, draw phasor diagrams, and compute active and reactive powers.
