Experiment 1: Synchro:Transmitter and Transformer

The document reports on experiments conducted with a synchro transmitter and transformer. In the first experiment, the output of the transmitter was measured by connecting equipment and setting oscilloscope controls. The electrical zero of the transmitter was then determined. The next experiment measured the output of the transformer by connecting circuits and observing waveforms on the oscilloscope while rotating the transmitter. Subsequent experiments recorded transformer output over 360 degrees of rotation and directly drove a synchro positioning system. Observations noted the sinusoidal amplitude variation of the transmitter output and 60 degree phase differences. The smallest detectable change was 50. After one rotation, the transmitter shaft position differed from its starting point.

Experiment 1:
Synchro:Transmitter and transformer
Aim:
To study the basic operation of a synchro system. And to know how a synchro
transmitter and transformer can be interconnected to generate an error signal.
Method used for performing objectives :

The first experiment we did was to measure the output of the transmitter. Steps
performed to get required output of the transmitter are as follows:
● First connect the equipments as shown in the figure below.

● Then set the oscilloscope Y1 and Y2 controls to 5/div.


● Then set the timebase to 50ms/div.
● Set the speed control on the ST150T ‘off’.
Now turn down the drive control so that the dial stops rotating and then manually
turn it until the Y2 trace shows zero. Record S2-S1 peak voltage.
In the next experiment we determined the electrical zero of the transmitter.
Firstly, arbitrarily define zero position and check the dial, if it is properly set for
this position. In the ST150T the null chosen is one of the two readings that
appeared between S1 and S2.
To test for the correct null use the same procedure as in the above experiment,
connecting S2 to Y2 and S1 to 0V. Now to differentiate between the 0 and 180
degree null, we can rotate the dial a small amount clockwise and observe the
waveform, it will be either phase leading or phase lagging and accordingly 0
degree and 180 degree null can be determined. And then set it at degree.

Now the next experiment was to measure the output of the transformer. To do this
first connect the circuit as follows:

Now, set the controls on the oscilloscope, Y1 as 5V/div, Y2 as 2V/div and


Timebase to 2ms/div. And set the speed control knob on the ST150T to ‘off’. Now
switch on. And set the transmitter to rotate at about 1 revolution per second and
observe the input(Y1) and output (Y2) waveforms on the oscilloscope.
Now stop the transmitter drive motor and reset the synchro rotors so that both dials
are set to 0 degree. Then manually turn the knob in 20 degree increments over the
360 degree range. And record the results.

And the last experiment was to directly drive a synchro positioning system.
To perform this do the suitable connections, like removing the link between R2 and
0V in the ST150R. And connect the R1 and R2 on the ST150T to R1 and R2 on the
ST150R.
Now set the ST150T dial to zero (the electrical null). Then manually move the
ST150R dial away from its rest position by small angle of 5 degree. And observe
how the the two rotors are realign themselves.

Observation Table:
Observations:
In Part 1, S2 trace a 50 Hz. A.C. output varying in amplitude over a revolution to
form a sinusoidal envelope.
In part 1 all S1-S2,S2-S3 and S3-S4 have a phase difference of 60 respectively.
The smallest change of 5​0​ in rotor can’t be detect by transmitter.
After a complete rotation of rotor.We observe that the position of transmitter shaft
is different than the previous position.
Ideas:
We can use an external DC motor for getting the voltage output for different
configuration of S​1​ ,S​2​ and S​3 .​
At electrical zero the motor will stop.We can get the phase by graph between
position and speed of motor.
