Magnetization of Separately Excited DC Generator

This document provides the procedure to obtain the magnetization characteristics of a separately excited DC generator. The experiment involves connecting a DC motor and generator setup and varying the field current of the generator while measuring the output voltage. Readings of field current and generated voltage are recorded in a table as the field resistance is decreased from maximum to the point where the voltage reaches 120% of rated value. A graph is then plotted and used to determine the critical field resistance at rated speed.

Procedure:
1. Connect the circuit as shown in the circuit diagram.
2. Keep the switch S1 in open position.
3. Keep the field rheostat of the motor at its minimum position and the
Armature rheostat of the motor, field rheostat of the generator should be
at their maximum position.
4. To start the motor, close DPST switch and move the starting arm of the 3-
point starter slowly in clockwise direction.
5. Then bring the motor-generator set to its rated speed (1500 RPM) by first
decreasing the armature resistance and then by increasing the field
resistance of the motor.
6. Now note the generated voltage (i.e. Residual voltage) and the
corresponding field current at S1 in open position.
7. Now close switch S1 and by slowly decreasing the resistance connected in
series with the field winding of generator, note down the output voltage
and the corresponding field current of the generator until the generated
voltage becomes 120% of its rated value.
