EE6352 ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING AND INSTRUMENTATION UNIT I DC MACHINES 1.1 Three Phase Circuits, A Review Polyphase System Circuit or system in which AC sources operate at the same frequency but different phases are known as polyphase. Two Phase System A generator consists of two coils placed perpendicular to each other. The voltage generated by one lags the other by 90. Three Phase System A generator consists of three coils placed 120 apart. The voltage generated are equal in magnitude but, out of phase by 120. Three phase is the most economical polyphase system. Importance of Three Phase System Uniform power transmission and less vibration of three phase machines. The instantaneous power in a 3 system can be constant (not pulsating). High power motors prefer a steady torque especially one created by a rotating magnetic field. Three phase system is more economical than the single phase. The amount of wire required for a three phase system is less than required for an equivalent single phase system. Three Phase Generation Fig. 1.1 Three phase generator Working The generator consists of a rotating magnet (rotor) surrounded by a stationary winding (stator). SCE 1 ECE EE6352 ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING AND INSTRUMENTATION Three separate windings or coils with terminals a-a’, b-b’, and c-c’ are physically placed 120 apart around the stator. As the rotor rotates, its magnetic field cuts the flux from the three coils and induces voltages in the coils. The induced voltage have equal magnitude but out of phase by 120.

  • A Common Instrumentation Course for Electronics/Electrical and Other Majors
    Session Number 3159 A Common Instrumentation Course for Electronics/Electrical and Other Majors Midturi, Swaminadham Professor, Department of Engineering Technology Donaghey College of Information Science and Systems Engineering The University of Arkansas at Little Rock Little Rock, AR 72204 – 1099 Email: [email protected] Abstract The design and contents of instrumentation courses in four-year colleges often reflect the stature of current instrumentation technology, background of the instructor, and the specific instrumentation need of an engineering industry. The syllabus in the instrumentation course, therefore, is largely shaped by individual taste and need and lacks cohesiveness in instruction to appeal to a large spectrum of engineering disciplines. This paper provides an insight into the design of course contents and instructional approach for an instrumentation course to meet the need of a large spectrum of engineering and technology disciplines. Difficulties encountered in developing a cohesive and integrated course, faculty experiences in classroom and laboratory, student evaluations of the instructors, and course are described. The course that we envisioned captures emerging trends in electronics, mechanics, manufacturing, process, and other industry applications with emphasis on analog and digital electronics, microprocessor interface, specifications of data acquisition board for automated data acquisition and analysis, and graphical display of measured data. Issues related to the design of experiments, statistical representation of data, curve fit, identification of critical design parameters of an instrument, and robust design of an instrument are covered. This course- offer recommends a common lecture but different laboratory and project assignments to benefit electronics and mechanical engineering technology majors. Team teaching experiences, mental and technical preparedness of the course instructor, scope and nature of laboratory assignments, and student learning preferences are described in this paper.

INTRODUCTION: Instrumentation is the science of automated measurement and control, or can be defined as the sci- ence that applies and develops techniques for measuring and controls of equipment and industrial processes. Process control has a broad concept and may be applied to any automated systems such as, a complex robot or to a common process control system as a pneumatic valve controlling the flow of water, oil or steam in a pipe. A basic instrument consists of three elements: Sensor or Input Device Signal Processor Receiver or Output Device To measure a quantity, usually is transmitted a signal representing the required quantity to an indi- cating or computing device where either human or automated action takes place. If the controlling action is automated, the computer sends a signal to a final controlling device which then influences the quantity being measured.
