Electrical Machines Lab

The Electrical Machines Laboratory provides students with hands-on experience in the operation, testing, and performance analysis of various electrical machines, including DC machines, transformers, induction motors, and synchronous machines.

It enables students to gain a thorough understanding of the operating principles, characteristics, efficiency, speed control, and performance of electrical machines under different loading conditions.
