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 don’t fail
to make your presence with your record notebook having completed
experiments, observation with completed experiments, day’s experiment
particulars with required knowledge about it and stationeries.

RECORD:
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.
Don’t 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.
