The aim of this experiment is to measure‚ determine and analyses the parameters of single-phase or three-phase transformer and torque-speed characteristics of rotating machines. Besides that‚ we are required to differentiate the construction and winding of single-phase or three-phase transformer. Through this experiment‚ we have to develop the connection wiring for single-phase and three-phase transformer and
