2. Set of resistor, capacitor and inductor (125mH, 550Ω, 3000 turns, 44SWG)
3. ExpEyes Junior model with software installed on PC

Theory: ExpEYES Junior is interfaced and powered by the USB port of the computer.
For connecting external signals, it has several Input/Output terminals, arranged on both
sides. It can monitor and control the voltages at these terminals. In order to measure other
parameters (like temp erature, pressure etc.), we need to convert them in to electrical
signals by using appropriate sensor elements.

The external voltages connected to expEYES must be within the allowed limits. Inputs
A1 and A2 must be within 5 volts range and Inputs IN1 and IN2 must be in 0 to 5V
range. Exceeding these limits slightly will flash an error message. If the program stops
responding, exit and re-connect the USB to reset the device. Larger voltages wil l result
in permanent damage. To measure higher voltages, scale them down using resistive
potential divider networks.

Specifications:
1. External Input/Outputs terminals
a. Programmable Voltage Source (PVS) : Can be set, from software, to any value in
the 0 to +5V range.
b. Resolution : 12 bits, implies a minimum voltage step of around 1.25 millivolts.
c. Analog Inputs (A1 & A2) :Can measure voltage within the 5 volts range. The
resolution of ADC used is 12 bits. Voltage at these terminals can be displayed as a
function of time, giving the functionality of a low frequency oscilloscope. The
maximum sampling rate is 250,000 per second. Both have an input impedance of
10MΩ.
d. 0-5V Analog inputs (IN1 and IN2)
e. Resistive sensor input (SEN) : for use of sensors like LDR, photo transistor,
thermistor
f. Digital Inputs: (IN1 and IN2) Anything lower than 1V is logic 0 and anything

Theory :-
Linear Network:- A network is said to be linear if current is linearly related to voltage
as per Ohm’s law.
Bilateral network:- In a bilateral network, the voltage and current relation is the same
for the current flowing in either direction.
Using the above definition, Superposition theorem can be stated as
In a network containing more than one source, the resulted current in any branch
is the algebraic sum of the currents that would be produced by each source, acting alone,
all other sources of e.m.f. being replaced by their respective internal resistances.

 Basic Electrical & Electronics l S.P.I.T

Fig.1.3 Consider 15V & 9V source

Case 1:- According to superposition theorem, each source acts independently. Consider
source V1=15V acting independently. At this time, other sources must be replaced by
internal resistances. But as internal resistances of V2= 9V is not given, i.e., it is assumed
to be zero, V2 must be replaced by short circuit. Using any of the techniques, obtain the
current through resistance R3, i.e. current due to source V1 alone.

Case2:- Now, consider source V2 alone, with V1 replaced by a short circuit, to obtain the
current through R3. The corresponding circuit is shown in Fig.b. Obtain current through
R3 due to V2 alone by using any of the techniques such as mesh analysis, node analysis
and source transformation.

Case 3:- According to superposition theorem, the resultant current through resistance R3
is the sum of the currents through R3 produced by each source acting independently.

Procedure :- 1) Connect the circuit as shown in the figure.

2) Apply voltage V1=15V and remove voltage V2 and short the path.
3) Note down the current reading through R3 due to voltage source
V1=15V.
4) Now remove V1 and replace it by short path. Connect V2=9V and
measure the current through R3 due to V2=9V.
5) Again connect both the supply V1=15V and V2=9V and measure the
current through R3.
6) Find the theoretical reading of current through R3 using superposition
theorem and verify it with the practical reading.
7) Repeat the procedure by changing the voltage V1 and V2.

Theory:-
A 3phase supply contains three times i.e. 3 lines of supply where all three phase
voltages with a phase difference of 120o are available to supply a three phase load.

HALF WAVE & FULL WAVE RECTIFIER

Aim :-
To study half wave and full wave rectifier circuit with and without capacitor filter.

Apparaturus & Components :- C.R.O.

Center tap transformer:-
Diodes:-
Capacitors:-
Resistors:-
Theory :-
Half wave Rectifier:- When the switch(S1) is open the circuit acts as a half wave
rectifier (HWR). During the positive half cycle of input ac voltage ‘A’ becomes positive
w.r.t ‘B’which makes the diode (D1) forward biased & hence it conducts current. During
the negative half cycle the diode is reversed biased and no current flows in the circuit.
Therefore, current flows through diode only during the half cycle. Hence dc current is
obtained across load.
Full wave Rectifier:- When the switch(S1) is closed the circuit acts as a full
wave rectifier (FWR). During the positive half cycle of the secondary voltage diode
(D1) forward biased & diode (D2) become reverse biased. Therefore D1 conducts and D2
does not conduct. During the negative half cycle D2 is forward biased & D1 is reverse
biased. The load current flows in Both half cycles of ac voltage and in the same direction
through the load resistance. Hence we get the rectified output across the load.
Circuit operation with filter:- In capacitor filter, capacitor is connected in
parallel with load R. During positive half cycle, diode D1 is forward biased & D2 is
reverse biased. Therefore current flows in D1 charging the capacitor to maximum value
say V. Since capacitor and load resistance are in parallel, voltage across capacitor will
appear as output Voltage. Now the capacitor C starts discharging through load resistance
RL. At the same time another diode gets forward biased & starts conducting. The
capacitor C again starts charging and quickly gets charged Through.The forward biased

diode having small forward resistance. The time required by the capacitor to change to
peak value is quite small & diode current again reduces zero.

RLC series and parallel circuit

Aim
:- To study the Resonance phenomena of Series and parallel RLC circuit.

Apparatus :-
Variable resistors
Inductor
Capacitor
Signal Generator
Milliammeters.

Theory :- Series RLC circuit

In an RLC series circuit impedance is given by Z = √(R2 + (XL - XC))

The frequency at which the reactive part in the impedance becomes zero is called
resonant frequency. So at resonance

XL = XC or Z = R
2 л f0 L = 1/(2 л f0C)
f0 =1/(2 л√LC)

At resonance current is maximum where as impedance ‘Z’ is minimum. Bandwidth

of circuit is given by band of frequencies which lies between the two points at which the current
is 1/√2 times the current at resonant frequency.
Parallel RLC circuit:
In a parallel RLC circuit when the voltage and total current are in phase at a
particular frequency then parallel circuit is said to be at resonance. The frequency at which the
parallel resonance occurs is called resonant frequency. In the circuit , current drawn by inductive
branch is IL = V/ZL where ZL = R + jXL and current drawn by capacitive branch IC = V/XC
where XC = 1/(2 л f C) IL lags voltage ‘V’ by angle ΦL

Page
29
 Basic Electrical & Electronics l S.P.I.T

VC/XC =( V/ZL).(XL/ZL) =( VXL)/ZL2

ZL2 = XL . XC
R2 + (2 л f0 L)2 =( 2 л f0 L) . (1/2 л f0 C)
(2 л f0 L)2 = (L/C) – R2
f0 = (1/2 л )√((1/LC)-(R2/L2))
Now if R is very small as compared to L and C then (R2/L2) << (1/LC) and f0 = 1/(2 л √LC)
At parallel resonance current is minimum while total impedance of circuit is maximum.

Procedure :-
1) Connect the Series RLC circuit as shown in figure 1.
2) Make sure that the milliammeter is in series with the circuit.
3) Keep the values fixed of R, L and C.
4) Keep varying frequency of the input signal from zero onwards
5) Measure frequency ‘f’ and current ‘I’ in mA.
6) Tabulate readings and draw graphs.
7) Repeat the above procedure for Parallel RLC circuit.

3 phase power measurement using 2 wattmeter method

Aim
:- To measure power in a 3 phase circuit using two wattmeter method.

Apparatus
:- Two wattmeter:-
Ammeters:-
Lamp loads
Voltmeter(DMM)

Theory :-
If the 3 phase load is balanced or even ubalanced, the power in the load can
be found by two wattmeter method. Let VR, VY & VB be rms value of phase voltages and
IR, IY & IB be the rms value of phase currents. Assume the load to be inductive & hence
phase currents will lag respective phase voltages by some phase angle as in fig. below.

Current through wattmeter W1 = IR. Potential Difference (P.D) across voltage coil of W1
= VRB = VR -VB. Angle between the current through the current coil & the voltage across
the pressure (voltage) coil is (30- ф).
Reading of W1 = IR VRB cos (30 - ф). Similarly, if current through wattmeter W2 = IY
Potential Difference (P.D) across voltage coil of W2 = VYB = VY -VB
From the phasor diagram, phase difference between VYB & IY = 30 + ф
Reading of W2 = IY VYB cos (30 + ф). Since load is balanced therefore VYB = VRB = VYR =
VL (Line voltage) & IR = IY = IB = IL (Line current). W1= VL IL cos (30 - ф),

Page
35
 Basic Electrical & Electronics l S.P.I.T

W2= VL IL cos (30 + ф)

W1+W2 = VL IL cos (30 - ф) + VL IL cos (30 + ф)
= VL IL [cos 30 cos ф + sin 30 sin ф + cos 30 cos ф - sin 30 sin ф]
= VL IL [2 cos 30 cos ф]
=3 VL IL cos ф
W1+W2 = Total power in 3 phase load
Note: For resistive load ф = 0, therefore cos ф = 1

Procedure : 1) Connect the circuit as shown in the circuit diagram.

2) Adjust the 3-ф transformer voltage to 200volts.
3) Vary the lamp load in 3 phases.
4) Measure VR, VY, VB, IR, IY & IB .
5) Take 3 to 4 such readings

Aim :- To carry out open circuit & short circuit test in a single phase transformer and
find percentage efficiency, percentage regulation and equivalent circuit.

Apparaturus & components required :-

Single Φ transformer:-
Variable AC source:-
AC wattmeter:-
Voltmeters:-

Theory :-
A transformer is a device used to change voltages and currents of AC electric
power. In the simplest version it consists of two windings wrapped around a magnetic
core; windings are not electrically connected, but they are coupled by the magnetic field,
as it shown in Figure. When one winding is connected to the AC electric power, the
electric current is generated. This winding is called the primary winding. The primary
current produces the magnetic field and the magnetic flux links the second winding,
called the secondary winding. The AC flux through the secondary winding produces an
AC voltage, so that if some impedance is connected to the terminals, an AC electric
current is supplied.

Page

 Basic Electrical & Electronics l S.P.I.T

TRANSFORMER

OPEN CIRCUIT TEST

It determines the iron loss & No load current (IO). One winding is left open and
another
winding of transformers connected to voltage supply. Flux is set up in the core depends
upon the applied voltage & iron loss occurs. IO is very small and Cu loss is negligible in
primary and absent in secondary. The wattmeter readings give us the iron losses. In order
to simplify calculation voltage, current and impedance are either primary or secondary IO
is no load current. RO and XO are resistance and reactance of circuit.

SHORT CIRCUIT TEST

This test determines Cu loss & short circuit current (ISC) which offers the least
impedance (ZSC) & RSC. In this one winding is short circuited and another winding
connected to very low voltage supply. The wattmeter readings give us the copper losses.
The applied voltage is very less so flux set up is very less since iron loss will be
negligible and the current flowing through short circuited winding and hence the rated or
full load current through the wattmeter which represents copper losses.

Procedure :-
A: Open circuit test
1) Make connections as per the circuit diagram of Figure.
2) Adjust the autotransformer to the values specified in the Table and record Io,
V1 and Wi for each voltage step.
3) Set the autotransformer to zero position. Turn the power off.
4) Remove the connections for the circuit.
B: Short circuit test
1) Make connections as per the circuit diagram of Figure. A short wire can be
used for the short circuit connection of the S1 and S2 terminals.
2) Make sure that the 1-Ф variable autotransformer (VARIAC) is kept in ZERO
Position initially.

Page

 Basic Electrical & Electronics l S.P.I.T

3) Turn the power on. Slowly vary the 1-Ф autotransformer (VARIAC) to obtain
the current close enough to the calculated values. Large current variations
should be avoided.
4) Record V1, Isc and Psc for each “% of rated I1current” step calculated.
5) Set the autotransformer to zero position. Turn the power off.
6) Remove the connections for the circuit.

LOAD TEST ON A SINGLE PHASE TRANSFORMER

Aim: - To determine the transformer efficiency curve by direct loading of the

transformer.

Apparaturus & components required:-

AC Supply:-
Transformer:-
Ammeters:-
Autotransformer:-
Wattmeter:-
DVM:-
lamp load:-
Theory:-
Transformer is a device used predominantly for two purposes:-.
a) Change the voltage level in AC circuit.
b) Obtain electrical isolation between two circuits.
Construction:
Physically, a basic transformer is made up of a ferromagnetic core and
copper windings on it. Core is made up of stacked Cold Rolled Grain Oriented (CRGO)
steel plates. This material increases the permeability of the flux path, thereby reducing
the leakage flux as well as the hysteresis losses. The stacking of plates helps reduce
the eddy current losses. Each of the plate is called a stamping. Each one is coated with
varnish on either side to insulate it from the adjacent stampings. Also, the stamping
width is varied across the cross section to make it resemble as closely as possible
to a circle. For a given area, circle has the smallest possible perimeter (circumference).
Economically, this makes a big impact in larger transformers where a considerable chunk
of money is spent in copper windings.

Page
46
 Basic Electrical & Electronics l S.P.I.T

Efficiency :

Efficiency of a device is calculated as the ratio of the output power to the input
power. When calculated in percentage, it is known as percentage efficiency. This ratio is
obviously less than 1, but for transformers, it is of the order of 0.95 to 0.99 (at the rated
load). In other words, the transformer is a highly efficient device. A way of determining
the output is to calculate the input and subtract losses from it. The transformer being a
static device, has no moving parts in it. This leaves only two avenues for losses to take
place, the magnetic circuit and the electric circuit. In the magnetic part( core ), the losses
that take place are eddy current losses and hysteresis losses. These losses are independent
of the load and remain constant. The eddy current losses are reduced by using stamped
cores and the hysteresis losses are reduced by using better materials. These losses
together are known as core loss. In addition to this, whenever a current flows in one or
both the windings, there is an associated I2R loss. This loss is as evident completely
dependent on the load known as copper loss.
Regulation :
The output voltage changes with the load current. This variation is termed as
voltage regulation. This takes place because of the drop across the transformer winding
resistances and leakage reactance. The drop across the resistance increases with the load
current. On the other hand, increases in load increases the leakage reactance. The leakage
reactance is nothing but a circuit representation of such a flux. Percentage regulation is
calculated as the ratio of change in voltage from no load to the value to the no load value.
There is a circular former placed on the stacked core, in order to insulate the core
from the windings. The copper windings are wrapped over the former. Most of the
transformers have two windings, though there can be either one or more than two. The
two windings are called primary and secondary. The primary winding is connected to the
AC supply and load is connected to the secondary winding. Although the two windings
are shown on two separate limbs, practically, the windings are not segregated as such.
Both of them are wound on each of the limb, in order to reduce leakage flux. The copper
windings have paper insulator all along their length.

Operation :
The transformer action is based on two mutually coupled coils, with a changing
magnetic flux linking them. Simplistically speaking, primary winding is energized from
an AC voltage source. This voltage causes a current to flow in it. This current produces a
flux in the ferromagnetic core on which it is wound. This flux is also alternating in nature
because of the current. This alternating flux also links with the secondary winding
because they share a common magnetic path. This changing flux induces an emf in the
secondary coil. The magnitude is governed by Farady’s Law and direction by Lenz’s
Law. The voltage across the coil depends on the number of turns in the secondary
winding.

Procedure:
1) Connect the circuit as shown in the diagram.
2) Increase the input voltage to the transformer rated primary voltage.
3) Vary the lamp load in step from no load to the full load value.
4) Take the readings of the input wattmeter (W), load current (IL) and load
voltage (V2). (Minimum 10 readings).
5) Calculate efficiency and regulation.
6) Plot percentage efficiency and regulation v/s load current.

MAXIMUM POWER TRANSFER THEOREM

Aim: To experimentally verify the maximum power transfer theorem.

Apparatus:
DC Voltage source:-
Ammeter:-
DVM:-
Resistor:-
Breadboard.
Theory:
The power in load resistance is given by I2R, where I is the current trough the
resistance R. Also any complex circuit can be reduced to its equivalent Thevenin’s
circuit. The maximum power transfer theorem states that the power transferred to the load
is maximum when the value of the load resistance is equal to the internal resistance of the
source.In other words, the power dissipated in any resistor in a given resistive network
will be maximum when the rest of the network is replaced by its Thevenin’s equivalent
and the value of the load resistance is equal to the Thevenin’s resistance.
The general Expression for the power in the load resistor is

Hence the maximum power is transferred to the load when the load
resistance value is equal to the internal resistance of the Thevenized
circuit.

Procedure:-
1) Connect the voltage sources and the milliammeter as shown in the circuit.
2) Keep the voltages such that the maximum current does not go beyond the
range of the milliammeter ( i.e. resistance minimum).
3) Vary the load resistance from minimum to maximum.
4) Note the corresponding load current (IL) and voltage across the load VL.
5) Calculate the value of load resistance by taking the ratio of VL to IL.
6) Calculate the power dissipated in the load resistance as VL IL.
7) Plot the graph of P L v/s R L.

Verification of Kirchhoff’s voltage and current law using given network

Aim:- To verify the Kirchhoff’s current and voltage law.

Apparatus:-
Powersupply:-
Ammeter:-
DMM
Bread board

Theory:
The following are the important terms should know before defining Kirchoff’s law.
1] Active element:- A active element is one that supplies electrical energy to the circuit.
2] Passive element:- A passive element is one that receives electrical energy, then
converts it into heat (resistance) or stores in electrical field
(capacitance) or magnetic field (inductor). For example resistance
3] Node:- A node of network is an equi potential surface at which two or more circuit
elements are joined.
4] Junction :- A junction is that point in a network where three on more circuit elements
are joined. Remember, all junctions are the nodes but all the nodes are not
junctions.
5] Branch:- A branch is the part of a network lying between two junction points.
6] Loop :- A loop is any closed path of a network.
7] Mesh:- A mesh is the most elementary form of a loop and cannot be further divided
into other loops.

Using the above definition we can define Kirchoff’s law. Kirchoff’s law is divided into
two parts one is related with current and other related with voltage and E.M.F.

A] Kirchoff’s current law:- It states that the algebraic sum of currents meeting at a
junction or node in an electric circuit is zero.

B] Kirchoff’s Voltage law:- It states that in any closed circuit or mesh, the algebraic sum
of the electromotive forces and the voltage drops is equal to zero.

B] Kirchoff’s voltage law:-

1] Connect the circuit as shown in the figure for Kirchoff’s current law.
2] Keep the voltage source V1 and V2 at 5V and 10V respectively.

Aim :- To plot CE characteristics of Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT BC547)

Apparatus:-

BJT (547)
Resistances

Theory :- In Common Emitter (C.E) configuration, input is applied between the

base – emitter and output is taken across collector – emitter. Here emitter
of the transistor is common to both input and output, hence the name
common emitter configuration. The most important characteristics of
transistor in any configuration are input and output characteristics.
A. Input Characteristics :-
It is the curve between input current IB and input voltage VBE at constant
collector emitter voltage VCE. The input characteristic resembles a forward
biased diode curve. After cut in voltage the IB increases rapidly with small
increase in VBE. It means that dynamic input resistance is small in CE
configuration. It is the ratio of change in VBE to the resulting change in
base current at constant collector emitter voltage. It is given by ΔVBE / ΔIB
B. Output Characteristics:-
This characteristic shows relation between collector current IC and
collector voltage for various values of base current. The change in
collector emitter voltage causes small change in the collector current for
the constant base current, which defines the dynamic resistance and is
given as ΔVCE / ΔIC at constant IB. The output characteristic of common

Page
61
Basic Electrical & Electronics l S.P.I.T

emitter configuration consists of three regions: Active, Saturation and

Cut-off.
Active region: In this region base-emitter junction is forward biased and base-
collector junction is reversed biased. The curves are approximately
horizontal in this region.
Saturation region: In this region both the junctions are forward biased.
Cut-off: In this region, both the junctions are reverse biased. When the base
current is made equal to zero, the collector current is reverse
leakage current ICEO.
The region below IB = 0 is the called the cutoff region.

Procedure :
A. Input Characteristics
1. Make the circuit connection as shown in the circuit diagram.
2. Set the voltage VCE = 5 V and vary IB with the help of VBB and
measure VBE.
3. Set the voltage VCE = 10 V and vary IB with the help of VBB and
measure VBE.
4. Plot graph of IB v/s VBE.

B. Output Characteristics
1. Keep IB constant say 20 μA, vary VCE and note down the
collector current IC.
2. Now keep IB = 40 μA, vary VCE and note down the collector
Current IC.
3. Plot graph of IB v/s VCE.

V-I Characteristics of Diode

Aim :- To plot V-I characteristics of Diode.

Apparatus:-
Power supply
Ammeters
Voltmeter
Resistances
Theory:-
Semiconductors, like Silicon or Germanium, are elements having
resistivity that in intermediate between a conductor and an insulator. They inherently
have four electrons in the valence band which helps them to form covalent bonds with
four neighboring silicon atoms. Hence, at absolute zero, the material behaves like an
insulator. At room temperature, few of these electrons absorb enough energy to break
away from the nucleus and serve as conduction electrons. The conduction properties
can also be easily changed by changing the doping (adding different elements to) the
semiconductor. Addition of a pentavalent impurity such as Phosphorus, N – type dopant
, gives an additional electron after the four silicon bonds are satisfied. Similarly, a
trivalent impurity such as Boron, P-type dopant, creates an absence of electron, a hole.
The entire semiconductor material is a single crystal, with one region dopes to be P-type
, with excess holes , and the adjacent region to be N- type , with excess electrons . This
creates a metallurgical junction between the p and n regions. The contact to the p region
is called the anode and that of the n region is called cathode.
Equilibrium P – N junction :-
A large density gradient in both hole and electron concentrations occur at this junction.
Initially, then, there is a diffusion of holes from the p region to the n region and diffusion
of electrons from n region to the p region. The flow of holes from p region uncovers
negatively charged acceptor ions, and the flow of electrons uncovers positively charged
donor ions. This action creates a charge separation which sets up an electric field
oriented in the direction from the positive to the negative charge. This sets up an electric

Page
67
 Basic Electrical & Electronics l S.P.I.T

field in such a direction as to oppose the movement of electrons and holes eventually.
The region surrounding the junction which contains immobile charges is called the
“space charge” or “depletion” region. The electric field creates a potential difference
across the region, which is called the built-in potential barrier. This is about 0.7 V for a Si
diode at room temperature.
Reverse Biased P-N junction :
A voltage source with its positive terminal connected to the n region and negative
terminal connected to the p region reverse biases the P-N junction. This increased
electric filed holds back the holes in the p region and electrons in the n region and
hence, there is no current flow. The electric field and the width of the space-charge
region increases. There is also a decrease in junction capacitance associated due to
increase in the width. Thus, the reverse bias region is characterized by neglible current
(due to minority carriers) even on the application of a very high voltage across the
terminals, the limit being decided by reverse breakdown voltage of the diode.
Forward Biased P-N junction :
Application of a positive voltage to the p region and negative voltage to the n region
creates an additional electric field in the space charge region. But this time the field
opposes the space – charge E-field. This disturbs the balance between diffusion and E-
field force. Hence majority carriers from the p region diffuse over to the n side and
electrons from n side move over to the p side of the junction. This process continues as
long as the voltage is applied. Thus, in the forward bias mode, the diode carries a large
current.
Procedure:-

1) Connect the diode in the forward bias mode.

2) Connect a current limiting resistor in series with the diode.
3) Make the connection for milliammeter. (Check the polarity before making the
connections.)
4) Slowly increase the voltage applied, and measure the current (I) through the
diode and the voltage across the diode (VD). Take more than 10 readings.
5) Plot the graph of VD v/s I.
6) Calculate the static and dynamic resistance of the diode.

How to read Resistor Color Codes

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

The mnemonic
B. B. ROY Great Britain Very Good Wife
Black is also easy to remember as zero because of the nothingness common
to both.
(Please don't add or change the mnemonic - it will only get reverted -admin)

Page
73
Basic Electrical & Electronics l S.P.I.T

How to read the code

First find the tolerance band, it will typically be gold ( 5%) and
sometimes silver (10%).

Starting from the other end, identify the first band - write down the
number associated with that color; in this case Blue is 6.

Now 'read' the next color, here it is red so write down a '2' next to the
six. (you should have '62' so far.)

Now read the third or 'multiplier exponent' band and write down that
as the number of zeros.

In this example it is two so we get '6200' or '6,200'. If the 'multiplier

exponent' band is Black (for zero) don't write any zeros down.

If the 'multiplier exponent' band is Gold move the decimal point one to
the left. If the 'multiplier exponent' band is Silver move the decimal point
two places to the left. If the resistor has one more band past the tolerance
band it is a quality band.

Read the number as the '% Failure rate per 1000 hour' This is rated
assuming full wattage being applied to the resistors. (To get better failure
rates, resistors are typically specified to have twice the needed wattage
dissipation that the circuit produces). Some resistors use this band for
temco information. 1% resistors have three bands to read digits to the left
of the multiplier. They have a different temperature coefficient in order to
provide the 1% tolerance.

At 1% the temperature coefficient starts to become an important

factor. at +/-200 ppm a change in temperature of 25 Deg C causes a
value change of up to 1%
