Rotating machines test bench with speed drives and active load

Studying and testing of industrial rotating machines with simulation of multi-quadrant loads

Features:

Flux vector drive (Leroy Somer)

Motors (asynchronous, synchronous and DC)

Training activities:

Introduction to different types of loads (pump, fan, lifting, conveyor, etc.)

Introduction to different types of torques (constant, linear, quadratic, hyperbolic, manual)

Comparison of motor characteristics

Introduction to the basic principles of a speed drive

Operation and adjustments of a speed drive

Study of energy savings generated by high-efficiency motors and speed drives

Key points:

Compact and economical solution for studying electric motors and speed drives

Speed drive configuration and operational measurement acquisition software

“Active Load” approach (replacing brake, torquemeter, dynamo-tachymeter) offering more possibilities for studies and data acquisition with a specific software for acquisition of mechanical and electrical data from the machine being tested (motor speed, torque, inertia, voltage, current, power factor, efficiency losses…) and simulation or visualization of industrial applications (conveyor, lift, pumps…).

Customized loads can be created
