PROCEDURE
1. Make the connections as per the circuit diagram.
2. Keep the brake drum in loose condition. (No load).
3. Close the switch TPST and vary the sliding contact of the autotransformer slightly so that
the ammeter shows the maximum current reading and comes to steady state current. (i.e.,
no load current)
4. Now adjust the autotransformer to get rated voltage in the voltmeter.
5. Note down the no load readings.
6. Then load the motor gradually in steps using the brake drum arrangement and note down
the corresponding ammeter, voltmeter, wattmeter and spring balance readings. Also note
down the speed.
7. Continue the procedure up to the point when the ammeter reads the rated current of the
motor.
8. Tabulate all the readings for each and every value of load up to the rated value of current.
9. Remove the loads by loosening the brake drum belt.
10. Bring the auto-transformer sliding contact to its original position (minimum voltage).
11. Open the TPST switches and disconnect the circuit.
