INSTRUCTIONS TO THE CANDIDATE
SAFETY:
You are doing experiments in Power Electronics lab with high voltage and
high current electric power. It may cause even a fatal or loss of energy of your
body system. To avoid this please keep in mind the followings

In case of any wrong observations, you have to SWITCH OFF the power
supply related with it.
You have to tuck in your shirts or wear an overcoat.
You have to wear shoes compulsorily and stand on mats made by
insulating materials to electrically isolate your body from the earth.

ATTENDANCE:
If you absent for a lab class then you have lost several things to learn.
Laboratory should be treated as temple, which will decide your life. So dont fail
to make your presence with your record notebook having completed
experiments, observation with completed experiments, days experiment
particulars with required knowledge about it and stationeries.

MAKING CONNECTIONS:
Get circuit diagram approval from your staff in charge.
Go to the respective worktable and start to give connection as per the
circuit diagram from source side.
Make series circuit connections before the parallel circuits like voltmeter
connections.
Before switch on the power, get circuit connection approval from the staff
in charge.

DOING EXPERIMENT:
Start the experiment in the presence of an instructor / staff in-charge and
do the same by proper procedure.
If staff permits you then precede your experiment.

OBSERVATION:
Before take the wave forms calibrate the CRO.
Note all the required readings in their respective tables.
Note all the wave forms from the CRO.

CALCULATION:
Calculate the required quantities by suitable formulae and tabulate them
with units.
Draw the necessary graphs and write the result with reference.
Get verification of observation and calculation from your staff in charge.

RECORD:

4
Shows the performance of equipment and yourself. It will be very useful
for future reference. So keep it as follows.
Write neatly; as they have to be preserved enter the readings in the record
notebook those have been written in your observation.
Units should be written for all quantities.
Draw necessary graphs and complete the record before coming to the
next lab class.
Dont forget to write the theory with precaution and inference of each
experiment.

MAY I HELP YOU

1. Device ratings should be noted.
2. Moving coil meters should be used for DC measurements.
3. Moving iron meters should be used for AC measurements.
4. Use isolated supply for the CRO.
5. Use attenuation probe for high voltage measurements in CRO.
