Abstract
Electrical engineering concepts are better understood by practical sessions than by mere theory. Hence, laboratory sessions play a vital role in electrical field. As technology develops using the facilities offered by LabVIEW, this application was implemented to act as a provision for a wide range of change in parameters as compared to hardware laboratory. Virtual laboratory provides remote access to laboratories in various disciplines of science and engineering, and it would cater students at the undergraduate and postgraduate level as well as for research scholars. This paper explains implementing and analyzing virtual laboratory for three different laboratory sessions in electrical course that results in a better understanding of learning concepts in the due course. It includes virtual analysis of electrical circuits, electrical machines, and power system simulation laboratories. This paper also explains the real-time hardware implementation for the speed control of 3-phase induction motor using LabVIEW.
