Electrical Machines Lab

Electrical Machine laboratory conducted for 2nd and 3rd years Under Graduates: In this course students perform some basics experiments on Transformers, DC machines, Inductions motors and Synchronous machines. The Electrical Machines Laboratory supports teaching research and consultancy work on Electrical machines and drives. Through hands-on experiments with real machines, students gain practical experience on transformers and various types of machine drives. The laboratory can also be used for project work related to electrical machines and energy conversion.

The four main purpose of an electrical machines laboratory are:

To provide the student with practical knowledge of handling the electrical machines.
To correlate the theoretical classroom treatment with actual machine characteristics.
To demonstrate the most suitable testing techniques
To educate engineer researchers and to conduct research in all aspects of electrical and electromechanical energy conversion.
