Motor Testing

Motor Testing: DC motor / AC motor testing system


The whole motor testing system consists of electrical and mechanical major sections. The electrical equipment includes different types of electric/ pressure transducers, torque meter, industrial PC, switches, buttons, indication lights, relays and a cabinet. Mechanical section includes the support plate, coupling, torque transducer, gearbox, clamping device and the magnetic power brake.

The motor testing equipment can respectively measure the DC/ single-phase AC motor¡¯s current, voltage, torque, speed, input power, output power, power factor and efficiency. The system will also control the loading which is the magnetic powder brake. The Electric Motor Testing System can carry out the data collection, data storage through the PC and processed the data for curve plotting and report printing.



Motor Testing: Three-phase asynchronous motor testing system

The system consists of high-voltage current cabinet, gauge control cabinet and test stand. It adopts the high accuracy electrical sensors and torque transducers which can satisfy three-phase asynchronous motor¡¯s voltage, current, frequency, input power rate, power factor, torque, speed, output power and efficiency. The system can also test and control wound resistance, no-load, temperature rise, loading, maximum and minimum torque.



Motor Testing: Motor Experiment for Laboratory use

The system can satisfy the professional course and experiments of higher institutions like "Introduction of electric motor", "Motor and driving" and "Motor control". This system has the great extendibility which brings the experimental learning for course design and graduation project. For student, it is a good system to understand the common motor performance and master the basic operation of various motor types. It also provides students the certain degree of flexibility to combine and create the experimental design.

The system can provide the following tests:

  1. DC motor testing

  2. Transformer testing

  3. Asynchronous motor testing

  4. Synchronous motor testing

  5. Electricity driving testing



Before motor testing: Categorization of electric motors


The classic division of electric motors has been that of Direct Current (DC) types vs. Alternating Current (AC) types. This is more a de facto convention, rather than a rigid distinction. For example, many classic DC motors run on AC power, these motors being referred to as universal motors.



The ongoing trend toward electronic control further muddles the distinction, as modern drivers have moved the commutator out of the motor shell. For this new breed of motor, driver circuits are relied upon to generate sinusoidal AC drive currents, or some approximation of. The two best examples are: the brushless DC motor and the stepping motor, both being polyphase AC motors requiring external electronic control.



Considering all rotating (or linear) electric motors require synchronism between a moving magnetic field and a moving current sheet for average torque production, there is a clearer distinction between an asynchronous motor and synchronous types. An asynchronous motor requires slip between the moving magnetic field and a winding set to induce current in the winding set by mutual inductance; the most ubiquitous example being the common AC induction motor which must slip in order to generate torque. In the synchronous types, induction (or slip) is not a requisite for magnetic field or current production (e.g. permanent magnet motors, synchronous brushless wound-rotor doubly-fed electric machine).
