Measurement setup for a power laboratory motor generator station

A measurement set up developed for autonomous motor generator stations for an undergraduate power laboratory is described in this paper. Methods used to measure and display the various electrical and mechanical quantities for easy observation by the students during the experiment are described. A microcontroller-based instrument to measure speed, frequency, load-angle and slip has been developed. The setup minimizes the tangle of wires on the work table. It also allows the students to devote their time more usefully to the experiment and observation of the characteristics itself. The setup has proven to be safe, functional durable and instructive.<
