A. Objective
In this lab, our goal is to learn more about Open circuit and Short Circuit tests on the
Synchronous Generators. Our aim is to precisely measure generator parameters while observing
how changes in field current affect terminal voltage across different loads.
B. Theory/Introduction
Synchronous generators operate at a fixed speed to produce voltage. They rely on prime
movers like diesel engines or turbines. The rotor's field coil induced voltage in the stator's
armature coils. Key parameters include the relationship between field current and flux,
synchronous reactance, and armature resistance.
The Open Circuit Characteristic (OCC) shows how armature voltage varies with field
excitation when the generator runs at its set speed. It illustrates the relationship between air-gap
flux and field excitation.
Similarly, the Short Circuit Characteristic (SCC) describes armature and field currents
under short circuit conditions. It's a useful measure of the generator's performance.
Using the OCC and SCC data, the synchronous reactance at rated voltage is

E. Questions
1.
Plot the open circuit characteristics using the data you recorded in Table 6-3. Based on
this curve:
Figure 2: FIELD CURRENT vs TERMINAL VOLTAGE (DECREASING FIELD
CURRENT)
Figure 3: FIELD CURRENT vs TERMINAL VOLTAGE (INCREASING FIELD
CURRENT)
a.
Is this curve linear (straight line) or nonlinear? Why?

The curve is nonlinear in nature because it describes a hysteresis curve as it
saturates
b. When the field current is zero the terminal voltage is not zero. Why?
The field current is 0 when the terminal voltage is not I believe due to the induced
voltage
2.
Plot the short circuit characteristics using the data you recorded in Table 6-4. Is this curve
linear or nonlinear? Why?
Figure 4: Field current vs short circuit Stator current
It is linear because the armature current has a linear relationship with the field current
therefore it will give us a linear curve.
3.
Using equation 6-1, calculate the synchronous reactance of the AC generator for each
value of I
f
in Table 6-4. This will require data from Tables 6-3 and 6-4.

Using the data from the previous item, plot the armature current, terminal voltage, and
the synchronous reactance of the generator vs. the field current. Do this on a single plot,
with three different vertical scales - one for current, one for voltage, and one for
reactance.

for the resistive load using the data you recorded in Table 6-5. How
should the field current be changed to keep the terminal voltage constant when the load is
increasing? Why?

Calculate the power factor for each lagging load. Record your values in a table similar to
Table 6-7.

8.
Plot I
a
versus I
f
for the lagging load using the data you recorded in Table 6-6. In this case
the load resistance is constant (R=220 Ohm). Therefore, the active power is fixed, yet for
each inductance value there is a different reactive power demand. How should the field
current be changed to keep the voltage constant when the reactive power is increasing?
Why?

In this lab, our objective was to delve into Open Circuit and Short Circuit tests on
Synchronous Generators. It was a successful experiment as we did not encounter
problems and the values from our results are pretty accurate.
