Three-Phase Circuits Lab

The “Three-Phase Circuits” lab is based on the NI Educational Laboratory Virtual Instrumentation Suite (NI ELVIS II) platform. The software is developed in the LabVIEW graphical programming environment.

The students can connect various power sources and meters and conduct experiments with the circuits on the board.

All hands-on experiments are conducted on the supplied preassembled printed circuit board. The circuits to be assembled are presented on respective front panel of each hands-on experiment, as well as in course manual. Course manual is embedded in the lab software for easy access to ad-hoc theoretical materials during the lab.

The obtained results are saved in tabular form and can be visualized as real time plots, scope traces or vector diagrams.

Step-by-step instructions, available for each lab, describe all consecutive operations that the students must perform, along with the results that must be obtained. The instructor can use the built in automatic grading system to evaluate the results of students’ work. Experimental results of the lab may be exported and saved in MS Excel format (including student name, date and time).
