DELHI TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY (FORMERLY DELHI COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING) BAWANA ROAD,DELHI-110042 2020-21 INTRODUCTION
Due to corona virus pandemic, this semester the lab will be conducted on a virtual platform. In this online lab, students will get to explore and learn various concepts regarding basic electrical components and network theory. The experiments are on virtual online platform, so students don’t need to download or install third party application. Each experiment is available in such a way that the theoretical as well as practical knowledge is enhanced. The experiments of this laboratory are:
1. Verification of Superposition theorem
2. Verification of Thevenin Theorem
3. Verification of Maximum Power Transfer Theorem
4. R-L-C Circuit Analysis
5. Three Phase Power Measurement
6. Testing on Single Phase Transformer
7. Verification of Tellegen’s Theorem
8. Verification of Norton Theorem
2 Experiment No.1
Aim: To Verify Superposition Theorem
Link: http://vlabs.iitkgp.ernet.in/asnm/exp5/index.html#l Theory: If a number of voltage or current source are acting simultaneously in a linear network, the resultant current in any branch is the algebraic sum of the currents that would be produced in it, when each source acts alone replacing all other independent sources by their internal resistances. Circuit Diagram:
Figure 13: Circuit analysis of Superposition theorem
Figure 14: Circuit with only V2 short circuited Figure 15: Circuit with only V1 short circuited
In the given figure 1 apply superposition theorem, let us first take the sources
16 V1 alone at first replacing V2 by short circuit as shown in figure 2. Here, V1 I10 = R2 ∗R3 R2 +R3 + R1
R3 I20 = I10 ∗ R2 + R3 I30 = I10 − I20
Next, removing V1 by short circuit, let the circuit be energized by V2 only as shown in figure 3. Then, V2 I200 = R1 ∗R3 R1 +R3 + R2 R3 I100 = I200 ∗ R1 + R3 I300 = I200 − I100
As per superposition theorem,
I3 = I30 + I300
I2 = I20 − I200
I1 = I10 − I100
Procedure:
1. Connect the circuit as shown in the diagram, keeping the switches open and resistance at their maximum positions.
2. Set S1 to position ”aa” and S2 to position ”cc” respectively which means both the sources are energized. Note down the current I1 , I2 and I3 from ammeter A1, A2 and A3.

3. Set S1 to positions ”aa” and S2 to position ”dd” respectively which means
the, only 220V source is energized and the terminals of S2 are shorted. Note down current I10 , I20 and I30 from the ammeter A1, A2 and A3.
4. Set S1 to position ”bb” and S2 to position to ”cc” respectively. Which means
the, only 110V source is energized and the terminals of S1 are shorted. Note down current I100 , I200 and I300 from the ammeter A1, A2 and A3.
5. Compare I1 , I2 and I3 with I10 + I100 , I20 + I200 and I30 + I300 taking care of signs properly of verify the theorem.
6. Repeat the step (2) to (6) for five different values of resistance for each three rheostats.
