THEORY
A cable is defined as an assembly of conductors and insulators used for the transfer of power in densely populated urban areas. Cables are mostly laid under the ground in order not to disturb the land beauty and to avoid using the land for power transmission purposes.
Figure: Parts of cables

PARTS OF CABLE
A cable is composed of the following parts;
Core
All cables either have a central core (conductor) or a number of cores made of strands of Copper or Aluminum conductors having highest conductivity. Conductors are stranded in order to reduce the skin effect.
Insulation
It is provided to insulate the conductors from each other and from the outside periphery. The common insulating materials are Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC) and Polyethylene.
Metallic Sheath
Metallic Sheath protects the cable against the entry of moisture. It is made of lead, some alloy of lead or Aluminum

LAB SESSION 02 Select the Appropriate Cable Size

OBJECTIVE
Select the appropriate cable size for the given load.
APPARATUS
Given Load Cable Tables Book
THEORY
The cable selection procedures set out in this LAB SESSION will give the basic guidelines to be followed to determine the minimum size of cable required to satisfy a particular installation condition. The following three main factors influence the selection of a particular cable to satisfy the circuit requirements: (a) Current-carrying capacity dependent upon the method of installation and the presence of external influences, such as thermal insulation, which restrict the operating temperature of the cable. (b) Voltage drop dependent upon the impedance of the cable, the magnitude of the load current and the load power factor. (c) Short-circuit temperature limit dependent upon energy produced during the shortcircuit condition. TASK: Determine the size of cable required & voltage drop in the cable.
SITUATION:
A 150kW, three phase load is supplying from a 400V, 50Hz supply. The circuit is protected using BSEN 60898 Type B circuit breaker and is situated 150m away from the distribution board. It is run with two other power circuits and is buried in the ground at a depth of 0.8m. There the soil resistivity is 1.2 C.m/W. The temperature within the installation can be assumed to be 30 C. Calculate the size of cable required, assume armored Cu cable is used here.

Lab Session 02
METHOD: STEP #01
Determine the current requirements of the circuit. This current is known as Design current, either specified by the manufacturer or can be calculated by the formulae. Design Current (IN) = kilo Watt Power Single Phase Voltage x power factor (For 1 phase)
Design Current (IN) =
kilo Watt Power 3 x Line Voltage x power factor
(For 3 phase)
If kVA power is given the above formula will change accordingly. If motor power is given in hp then use the conversion 1hp=746 Watts.
Here,
Design Current (IN) = _______________________ = STEP #02 Determine the method of cable installation to be used. Installation Conditions: The current-carrying capacity of a cable is dependent on the method of installation to maintain the temperature of the cable within its operating limits. Different methods of installation vary the rate at which the heat generated by the current flow is dissipated to the surrounding medium. Specific conditions of installation are there like cables installed with or without wiring enclosures in air, in the ground or embedded in building materials. STEP #03 Determine the environmental conditions in the vicinity of the cable installation, where applicable, like (i) the ambient air or soil temperature (ii) the depth of laying rating factor (iii) the soil thermal resistivity rating factor Use any cable s table book to find out the correction factor values. Here, the correction factors from the tables: Grouping Factor (Cg): _______ Ambient Temperature (Ca): _______ Soil Resistivity Factor (Cr): _______ Depth of laying factor (Cd): _______
STEP #04
Amps
Apply the correction factors to determine the current carrying capacity (Ic) of the cable by using the formula. Current carrying capacity of cable = -5Design current .

Lab Session 02
Correction Factors The above factors should be applied according to the design situation. Current carrying capacity of cable = ____Design current . Cg x Ca x Cr x Cd Here, Current carrying capacity of cable = ________________________
Current carrying capacity of cable = ______________ Minimum cable size = _____________ mm2 Finding the Protective Device Size (IF). The design current should be no greater than the fuse rating. The fuse rating must be no greater than the current carrying capacity of the cable. The current carrying capacity of the cable should not be greater than the tabulated capacity of the cable i.e.
IN
IF
IC
The Worst-Case Scenario A cable may experience various different environments along its route. For example it may start at a switchboard, run through the switch room in a trench with a lid or steel flooring, pass through a duct in a wall and under a roadway, run a long way directly buried and finish on a ladder rack at the consumer. At each of these environments the thermal resistivity and ambient temperature will be different. The environment that causes the most derating of the rated current should be taken and used for the whole cable.
DETERMINATION OF VOLTAGE DROP FROM MILLI VOLTS PER AMP -METRE
According to IEE Regulation 522-8 of the 15th edition, it is stipulated that: The voltage drop within the installation does not exceed a value appropriate to the safe functioning of the associated equipment in normal service. For final circuits protected by an over current protective device having a normal current not exceeding 100A, this requirement is deemed to be satisfied if the drop in voltage from the origin of the circuit to any other point in the circuit does not exceed 2.5 percent of the nominal voltage at the design current, disregarding staring conditions. The voltage drop can be determine using the following formula 50 for applications where only the route length and load current of balanced circuits are known. Voltage Drop (Vd) = L x IN x Vc . 1000
where Vc = the millivolt drop per ampere-metre route length of circuit, as shown in the tables for various conductors, in millivolts per ampere metre (mV/A.m) Vd = actual voltage drop, in volts L = route length of circuit, in meters IN = the current to be carried by the cable, in amperes. Here, L = 80m -6-

LAB SESSION 03 Measure the High Level Voltage, Current and Resistance
OBJECTIVE
Using measuring instruments measure the high level of voltage, current and resistance.
APPARATUS
Current Transformer Potential Transformer Megger Clip on Ammeter
THEORY
Current Transformers Ammeters are employed for measurement of current in circuits. In high voltage transmission lines, it is more feasible to use Current Transformers for measurement of current owing to its higher range of measurement. High values of currents flowing in the transmission lines serve as the primary circuit of a current transformer. The high current is stepped down to a much lower value (normally not more than 5A) which is then measured by an ordinary ammeter. This way, an ammeter is not exposed to high currents and voltages. Potential Transformers For measurement of high voltages, potential transformers are commonly used. Difference between the potential transformers and current transformers is that Current Transformers are connected in series whereas Potential Transformers are connected in parallel. Among the available range of PTs and CTs, the selection is based on the following factors Insulation Class Primary to Secondary ratio Continuous thermal rating Service conditions Accuracy Clip On Ammeter Current is measured only when an ammeter is connected in a circuit in series. What if the current in any wire connected to a load is required to be measured. Using an ammeter, we shall first need to disconnect the load from the source, insert an ammeter and then measure the current. Instead of doing all this, a clip on ammeter allows current measurement without disconnecting the line. It operates on the concept of transformation, as in transformers where flux linkages produce voltages.

Lab Session 03
Megger Megger is a name given to an instrument used to measure large values of resistance. Measuring resistance of machines and devices is very helpful in determining faults like short circuits etc. Once a machine faces a fault, its internal resistance gets changed. Machine resistance is regularly monitored in order to detect any internal faults occurring in the machines and other devices.

LAB SESSION 04 Distribution Transformer

OBJECTIVE
To study the operation and constructional features of a Distribution Transformer
APPARATUS
Distribution Transformer
THEORY
Distribution transformer is used to convert electrical energy of higher voltage (usually 11-2233kV) to a lower voltage (250 or 433V) with frequency identical before and after the transformation. Its main application is mainly within suburban areas, public supply authorities and industrial customers. With given secondary voltage, distribution transformer is usually the last in the chain of electrical energy supply to households and industrial enterprises.
Power Transformer
CONSTRUCTION
There are 3 main parts in the distribution transformer: Coils/winding where incoming alternating current (through primary winding) generates magnetic flux, which in turn induces a voltage in the secondary coil.

SIGNIFICANCE OF VECTOR GROUPS Three phase machines, such as transformers, are allotted symbols representing the type of phase connection and the phase angle between the HV and LV terminals. The angle is described by a clockface hour figure. The HV vector is taken as 12 o clock, the reference, and the corresponding LV vector is represented by the hour hand.
For example, a Dy11 represents; D = HV winding is delta connected y = LV winding is star connected 11 = clock-face reference indicating that the LV vector is at 11 o clock (30o lead) with reference to the HV vector.

LAB SESSION 05 Substation Equipments & One Line Diagram

OBJECTIVE
To study the major equipments of the substation and make a one-line diagram.
APPARATUS
A visit will be arranged to a sub-station.
THEORY
An electrical substation is a subsidiary station of an electricity generation, transmission and distribution system where voltage is transformed from high to low levels using transformers. Electric power may flow through several substations between generating plant and consumer, and may be changed in voltage in several steps. Feeders The electrical distribution system begins with a source of electrical energy that must be distributed to each and every electrical load. The starting point of this system, which feeds electrical energy into it, is known as a Feeder. The electricity delivered by a feeder is actually distributed to different loads in the system. Distributors A distributor is a conductor from which tapings are taken to the consumers. The current through a distributor is not constant due to the tapings taken off at various places along its length. While designing a distributor, voltage drop along its length is the main consideration as the voltage variation limits are about 6% of the rated voltage at the consumer terminals. Switch Gears The term switchgear, used in association with the electric power system, or grid, refers to the combination of electrical disconnects, fuses and/or circuit breakers used to isolate electrical equipment. Switchgear is used both to de-energize equipment to allow work to be done and to clear faults downstream Panels are the compartments used for switchgear arrangement. Switching Devices A device designed to close, open, or both, one or more electric circuits. These include HRC fuses Magnetic contactor Circuit Breaker (Molded Case Circuit Breaker) Load Break Switch

Q2
The power factor correction of electrical loads is a problem common to all industrial companies. Every user which utilizes electrical power to obtain work in various forms continuously asks the mains to supply a certain quantity of active power, together with reactive power. This reactive power is not transformed or used by the user, but the electricity supply company is forced to produce it, using generators, wires to carry and distribute it, through transformers and switching gears. Power factor correction reduces the Joule losses of the transformers and the cables upstream of the installation point; reduction in losses, transmitted power being equal, is greater the lower the power factor value before applying the power factor correction. The capacitor provides the necessary leading current (-ve Q) which results in reduce line current flowing in the system. The amount of reactive power needed is given by the following formula.

Applying a star or delta-connected (three-phase load) group of three capacitors of suitable capacity in parallel to the resistive-inductive load terminals, the capacitive current Ic absorbed by them, which is in leading quadrature compared to the voltage Vt, opposes the component in lagging quadrature IL reducing it to I1 or even annulling it, with consequent decrease in the circulating line current, which takes on the value IR; the best situation is obtained when IC = IL and I is therefore reduced to the only in-phase component IR.

OBJECTIVE
Verifying the Inverse Square Law and compare the difference in output luminescence of incandescent, fluorescent and compact fluorescent lamps.
APPARATUS
A wooden board Connecting wires Fluorescent Light Incandescent Light LUX Meter
TYPES OF LAMPS INVERSE SQUARE LAW

The inverse-square law, which states that the illuminance at a point on a surface perpendicular to the light ray is equal to the luminous intensity of the source at that point divided by the square of the distance between the source and the point of calculation.
E
Where:
I D2
E = Illuminance in footcandles I = Luminous intensity in candles D = Distance in feet between the source and the point of calculation INCANDESCENT LIGHT BULBS Incandescent light bulbs consist of a glass enclosure (the envelope, or bulb) which is filled with an inert gas to reduce evaporation of the filament. Inside the bulb is a filament of tungsten wire, through which an electric current is passed. The current heats the filament to an extremely high temperature (typically 2000 K to 3300 K depending on the filament type, shape, size, and amount of current passed through). The heated filament emits light that approximates a continuous spectrum. The useful part of the emitted energy is visible light, but most energy is given off in the near-infrared wavelengths.

FLOURESCENT TUBE LIGHT A fluorescent lamp or fluorescent tube is a gas-discharge lamp that uses electricity to excite mercury vapor. The excited mercury atoms produce short-wave ultraviolet light that then causes a phosphor to fluoresce, producing visible light. Compared with incandescent lamps, fluorescent lamps use less power for the same amount of light, generally last longer, but are bulkier, more complex, and more expensive than a comparable incandescent lamp.

Lab session 09
COMPACT FLOURESCENT LIGHTS A compact fluorescent lamp (CFL), also known as a compact fluorescent light bulb (or less commonly as a compact fluorescent tube [CFT]), is a type of fluorescent lamp. Many CFLs are designed to replace an incandescent lamp and can fit in the existing light fixtures formerly used for incandescent. Compared to general service incandescent lamps giving the same amount of visible light, CFLs use less power and have a longer rated life, but generally have a higher purchase price.

LAB SESSION 10
Calculating the Total Cost in a Residential and Commercial or Industrial Bill.

OBJECTIVE
You are given an Industrial or commercial Bill Calculate the total energy cost of the utility bill. Explain the terms used in the bill Perform Exercise in the end of the Lab Session
Theory:
The rates of utility companies are based upon the following guidelines: 1. The amount of energy consumed [kW.h] 2. The demand rate at which energy is consumed [kW] 3. The power factor of the load. The amount of energy consumed is measured by Energy meter and the demand of the system during the demand interval is measured by Demand meter. What is The Difference Between Demand and Consumption? Demand is how much power you require at a single point in time, measured in kilowatts (kW). Consumption is how much energy you use over a period of time, measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh). Example: assume ten lights are turned on each with a 100-watt bulb. To accomplish this, you must draw - or demand - 1,000 watts, or 1 kW of electricity from the power grid. If you leave all ten lights on for two hours, you would consume 2 kWh of electricity. Demand Measurement Demand varies by customer and month. To record demand, a special meter tracks the flow of electricity to a facility over a period of time, usually 30-minute intervals. Over the course of a month, the 30-minute interval with the highest demand is recorded and reflected on a monthly bill. Minimum Charges means a charge to recover the costs for providing customer service to consumers even if no energy is consumed during the month. Fixed Charges means the part of sale rate in a two-part tariff to be recovered on the basis of Billing Demand in kilowatt on monthly basis. Variable Charge means the sale rate per kilowatt-hour (kWh) as a single rate or part of a two-part tariff applicable to the actual kWh consumed by the consumer during a billing period. Maximum Demand where applicable , means the maximum of the demand obtained in any month measured over successive periods each of 30 minutes duration. - 33-

Lab session 10
Sanctioned Load where applicable means the installed load in kilowatt as applied for by the consumer and allowed/authorized by the Company for usage by the consumer. Power Factor shall be to the ratio of kWh to KVAh recorded during the month or the ratio of kWh to the square root of sum of square of kWh and kVARh,. Formulae to be used: 1. Energy Charges (Rs) = No. of Units x energy charges (Rs/kWh) 2. Fuel Adjustment Charges (Rs) = No. of Units x energy charges (Rs/kWh) 3. Fixed Charges (Rs) If MXD>50% of connected load then Fix Charges (Rs) = Fix charges rates x MXD If MXD<50% of connected load then Fix Charges (Rs) = Fix charges rates x 50% of connected load 4. Additional Surcharge Additional Surcharge (Rs) = No. of Units x Additional surcharge (Rs/kWh) 5. Income Tax Applicable on Taxable Amount Taxable Amount = Energy Charges + Fuel Adjustment Charges + Additional Surcharge + Fixed Charges + Electricty Duty + Meter Rent + P.f Penalty 6. Sales Tax Sales Tax = some percent of Taxable amount (See Tarrifs)

LAB SESSION 11 Diesel Generating Set

OBJECTIVE
To study the various components of a Diesel Generating Set
THEORY
It is common practice to provide the standby emergency source of supply at all important installations such as large factories, railways, airports & other essential services. This is usually achieved with the use of a captive Diesel Generator Set (DG Set). Main Components of A Diesel Generating Set DG Set comprises of three main parts. Engine This is the main prime mover (PM) for the generator and may be a gas, petrol or diesel engine, depending upon the availability of fuel. In this LAB we will discuss the Diesel generating Set, being used more commonly for captive power generation. The control of power output is obtained through this PM only. It has a drooping characteristic. Governor This senses the speed of the machine and performs extremely fast and accurate adjustments in the fuel supply to the PM. In turn it regulates the speed and output of the PM within predefined limits, depending upon the droop of the PM. The governor may be a mechanical (manual), hydraulic or electronic (automatic) device. Generator Generator is responsible for changing engine power (hp or kW) into electrical power (kVA). They also must satisfy high magnetizing current draws (kVAR) of electrical equipment. NEMA suggests 0.8pf for standard generator. Engine & Generator Sizing Engines are sized according to the actual power in kW required to meet the need of the facility. The generator on the other hand, must be capable of handling the maximum apparent power which is measured in kVA. Thus engine provide power (kW) and frequency control, generator influence kVA and voltage control.

LAB SESSION 12 Home Electrical Wiring

OBJECTIVE
To make connections in home electrical wiring from services main to different distribution boards and electrical points for appliances in a room.
APPARATUS
A large wooden board Kilo Watt-hour Meter Wires & Cables Switches & Sockets Bulbs & Fans
THEORY
Designing the home electrical wiring needs careful consideration because of safety. For wiring in residential buildings or industrial buildings, wiring layout should be first prepared on the drawing board. The number of light and power points in a building is determined not only by its size, but is also a matter of individual preference especially in the case of residential buildings and as such the owner should be consulted for this. The number of outlets should be adequate to ensure convenient hooking up of the various electric operated gadgets & appliances. Minimum four outlets one per wall should be provided in each room. Lamps & motors should normally be wires on different circuits.

LAB SESSION 13 Earthing

OBJECTIVE
To measure Earthing Resistance and Soil resistivity.
APPARATUS
Earth Resistance Tester Hammer Measuring Tape
THEORY
Earthing provides protection to personnel and equipment by ensuring operation of protective control gear and isolation of the faulted circuit in the following cases. Insulation puncture or failure Breakdown of insulation between primary & secondary windings of a transformer. Lighting stroke Ensuring low earth resistance is important in earthing process. In case where protection against the faulted list is provided by mean of fuse or a circuit breaker, the total resistance of the earth path must be low enough to enable the operation of the protective device. The earth electrode resistance depends upon the electrical resistivity of the soil in which the electrode is installed, which in turn is determined by the following factors: 1. Nature of soil 2. Extent of moisture 3. Presence of suitable salts dissolved in moisture. TYPES OF EARTH ELECTRODES Rod & Pipe Electrodes Plate Electrodes Strip or Round Conductor Electrodes
Plate Electrodes:
Plate electrodes consist of copper, cast iron or steel plate. The minimum thickness of plate is recommended as For cast iron 12mm For GI or steel 6.3mm For Copper 3.15mm And size not less than 600mm x 600mm.

where p = resistivity of soil, considered uniform in A= area of each side of the plate in m2
Rod & Pipe Electrodes:

This type of earthing is more suited for a soil possessing high resistivity and the electrode is required to be longer & driven deeper into the soil to obtain a lower resistance to ground. The diameter, thickness and length of the pipe is recommended as follows: Cast iron (CI) pipes - 100mm (internal diameter), 2.5 to 3 m (long), 13mm thick. MS pipes - 38 to 50mm (internal diameter), 2.5 to 3 m (long), 13mm thick Copper -13,16 or 19mm diameter, 1.22 to 2.44m long.

Usually the mixture of NaNo3 + sea salt + coal is used in the ratio of 1:3:5
MEASURING THE SOIL RESISTIVITY:

Soil resistivity is the key factor that determines what the resistance of a grounding electrode will be, and to what depth it must be driven to obtain low ground resistance. The resistivity of the soil varies widely throughout the world and changes seasonally. Soil resistivity is determined largely by its content of electrolytes, which consist of moisture, minerals and dissolved salts. A dry soil has high resistivity if it contains no soluble salts (Figuer 1).
4 POLE METHOD
A simple way to measure the resistivity of soil is a four-pin method in which four probes are drilled into the ground along a straight line at equal distances a and depth b. Then a voltage V is applied to the two inner probes and a current, If, is measured in the two outer probes (Figure 22.16). This test can also be conducted with the help of a ground tester as discussed in Section 22.3, which normally also has a provision for this test. The formula for measuring soil resistivity is given below;
For accurate results b

Where: a = distance between the electrodes in centimeters

b = electrode depth in centimeters = Soil resistivity (ohm-cm)
Since generally a >> b (for accurate results keep b

2 aR g
For Example After inspection, the area investigated has been narrowed down to a plot of ground approximately 75 square feet (7 m2). Assume that you need to determine the resistivity at a depth of 15 feet (450 cm). The distance A between the electrodes must then be equivalent to the depth at which average resistivity is to be determined (15 ft, or 450 cm). Using the more simplified Wenner formula ( 2 aR g ), the electrode depth must then be 1/20th of the electrode spacing or 8-7/8 (22.5 cm). For example, if the reading is R = 15 = Soil resistivity (ohm-cm) = 6.28 x 15 x 450 = 42,390 -cm

MEASURING THE GROUND RESISTANCE:

The resistance of a grounding station can be measured with the help of a ground tester, which generates a constant voltage for accurate measurement. The tester has two potential and one current probe. The procedure of measurement is illustrated in Figure.
Measuring the ground resistance with the help of a ground tester

3 POLE METHOD
Measuring the ground resistance with the help of an ammeter and a voltmeter
The method for measuring earthing resistance is given below. One of the potential probes A is drilled into the ground at about 15 m from the grounding station G, whose resistance is to be measured. The second probe B is placed between the two. The current lead of the meter is connected to the grounding station. The meter will indicate some resistance, which may be noted. Two more readings are also taken by shifting the centre probe B by almost 3 m on either side of the original location. For an accurate due of the ground resistance, the values obtained must be same. If they are not, the probe B is still within the resistance area of the grounding station G. Shift away probe A by another 6 m or so and place probe B between G and A, and repeat the test. If the three readings are now the same, consider this as the actual ground resistance of station G, otherwise shift probe A farther away until a constant reading is obtained. Effect of Ground Electrode Size and Depth on Resistance Size: Increasing the diameter of the rod does not materially reduce its resistance. Doubling the diameter reduces resistance by less than 10%. Depth: As a ground rod is driven deeper into the earth, its resistance is substantially reduced. In general, doubling the r od length reduces the resistance by an additional 40% (Figure 11). The NEC (1987, 250-83-3) requires a minimum of 8 ft (2.4 m) to be in contact with the soil. The most common is a 10 ft (3 m) cylindrical rod which meets the NEC code. A minimum diameter of 5/8 inch (1.59 cm) is required for steel rods and 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) for copper or copper clad steel rods (NEC 1987, 250-83-2). Minimum practical diameters for driving limitations for 10 ft (3 m) rods are: 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) in average soil 5/8 inch (1.59 cm) in moist soil 3/4 inch (1.91 cm) in hard soil or more than 10 ft driving depths
