Question
the last two calculation of this lab have me stumped. after inserting the wattmeter what calculations would you use to prove the values of the inductor and resistor. Basically I need help with step 5 to the end of the lab
Explanation / Answer
You are basically testing the transformer in this lab.You are conducting open circuit test and Short circuit test.
In the case of open circuit test.We are neglecting the effect of Ls and Rs as compared to Lp and Rp.(For more on that read any standard textbook)
I will help you in looking at the calculations.
First of all the resistance of ammeter is negligible.So there will be no voltage drop across it.Secondly the Voltmeter has very high resistance,so it will draw very negligible current.
Now considering all the above points.
The Voltmeter is effectively in parallel with Rp and Lp.(Rs and Ls neglected).
So the voltage across them will be 6.43 (RMS).
The wattmeter is reading 3.982 mW.Now the active power consumed will be equal to (Vrms measured)^2/Rp .
Therefore 6.43^2/Rp=3.982mW which gives us Rp =10.382kOhms.
Now for getting Lo,we need to know what is Xp.
The current drawn by Rp will be Vrms/Rp.=Irp
The Current Dewan by Xp will be Vrms/Xp=Ixp
There phasor sum(magnitude =square root of (Irp^2+Ixp^2)).
This magnitude will be equal to Current measured by Ammeter(As voltmeter draws no current).
So Ixp^2=Iammeter^2-Irp^2
Irp=Vrms/Rp=6.43/10.382kOhms
Which gives us Irp=0.619mA.
Therefore square root of (0.824^2-0.619^2)=0.543mA
Hence Ixp=0.543mA
Therefore Xp=Vrms/0.543mA=6.43/0.543mA
Which gives us Xp=11.822kohms
Therefore 2*?*f*L=11.822kohms
Which gives us L=31.35H
So we get our valurs of Rp and Xp but the are slightly more than the values given in ckt.But the inaccuracy is justified by the ease in obtaining the values with minimal error.
Similarly for Short circuit test you have got a Voltage of 1.609 and you know current (5.819mA)through the Rs and Xs.You know what is the power consumed(6.773mW). Use I^2R to get value of R.(200.0250)
You can also get the Value of Z by V/I i.e (1.609/5.819mA)=276.5079Ohms.
Use Z^2-R^2 to get X^2.Then find Ls using 2 *?*fLs=X
