Testing Systems for Electric Motors at Laboratory (R&D), Production (EOL), and Quality Assurance (QA)
Motomea is a globally leading supplier of electric motor testing systems. Motomea RDS systems are fully turnkey systems, which fully implement standards IEC 60034-2-1 and IEEE 112. The scope of the RDS is comprised of AC induction servomotors as loading motors with high-resolution encoders, high-accuracy torque sensors, and integrated power analyzers, and temperature measurement modules by milliohm meters and/or thermocouples. Motomea RDS provides energy recovery benefits, and the multi-drive common bus configurations can reduce input power requirements for applications where an AC dynamometer is used for the prime mover and absorber.
Configuration
The term “regenerative” describes the ability of the drive under braking conditions to convert the mechanical energy of the motor and connected load into electrical energy which is returned (or regenerated) to the AC power source. Regenerative drives can reclaim majority energy produced from the device under test which can reduce the overall cost of testing.
Historically, the regenerative energy was wasted into heat using resistors bank. The Motomea RDS solution is to return the energy back into the mainline power supply, eliminating heat and providing a real return on investment, a compact/modular solution.
Main Features
• Controlled by closed-loop field-oriented, using auto-tune servo drives.
• Controlled and stabilized DC supply for the frequency inverter, allowing stable control of the torque or speed and high accuracy of the measurement.
