Lab 04 Emi 145

This lab document outlines an experiment measuring single-phase power using two different methods - the three voltmeter method and the three ammeter method. The student constructs circuits using a resistor and inductor load, takes voltage and current measurements using the different methods, and calculates the real power across the load. Analysis of the results shows that real power decreases with increasing resistance, and the student learns how to use multiple meters to determine voltage, current, resistance, and power in a circuit.

Lab # 4 Measurement of single-phase power different


methods

Objective
1. To measure single phase power by three voltmeters method.
2. To measure single phase power by three ammeters method.

Pre-Lab Task(s)

What do you understand by Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL)? Write a small description.

Gustav Kirchhoff’s Current Law is one of the fundamental laws used for circuit analysis. His current
law states that for a parallel path the total current entering a circuits junction is exactly equal to the
total current leaving the same junction. This is because it has no other place to go as no charge is lost.
In-Lab

Task 01:

Circuit Diagram:

On analyzing the given circuit in Figure 4.1 (three voltmeters method), it is observed that the
two elements, resistor and inductor, are connected in series which implies that same amount of
LAB 04
current is passing through each element. The voltage drop in the inductor leads the supply
current whereas voltage drop in the resistor is in phase with the supply current. Moreover, we
know that, the sum of voltage drops in the loop must be equal to the supply voltage (KVL).

3. 3.3 5.6 2.73 2.88 2.6

Average value of real power across load via three voltmeters method = 3.157mW.

TASK 02
Circuit Diagram:

On analyzing the given circuit in Figure 4.2 (three ammeters method), it is observed that there are two
paths available to the flowing current. This means that the current is divided among two branches one of
which is purely resistive and the other is inductive. The current passing through the resistive branch is in
phase with the supply current whereas that passing through inductive branch lags the supply current by
some angle which is less than 90o. Moreover, we know that, the sum of currents leaving a node must
equal the current entering the node (KCL).

Discussion And Conclusion:


Discussion:
In this lab we discuss how to measure single-phase power by the three-voltmeter method.
To measure single phase power by three ammeters method. In this lab, we make a circuit which
is given in Figure 4.1 and 4.2 in the breadboard. Secondly, we break the circuit and connect the
ammeter for measuring current. Repeat this step for three resistor keeping load same. Thirdly,
we find the real power using formula. For voltage place circuit parallel to the resistor, load etc.

Figure 4.4: it is for 4.2. Figure 4.3: it is for 4.1.


The above both graph shows that if we increase the resistance the real power decreased. To
reach 2.2 the graph increases suddenly due to some problems.
LAB 04
Conclusion:
In this lab, we have found the value of unknown resistance and capacitance by using DMM. I
learned the way of using three voltmeters to find the value of voltage and current. I also learned
how to find the unknown resistance through which we find real power by using the voltages and
currents. After that, we calculated the average power for both circuits.
