Electric Motor Load Testing Equipment

Configurations that allow testing of a 10 000 horsepower motor at full load and 50 000 horsepower at no load.

Electric motor load testing equipment.

Motor test equipment magtrol offers three types of dynamometers each with a different braking system to absorb load. Electric motors have had a reputation for being a mix of science and magic. The test facility for electric motors at van bodegraven elektromotoren has been using measuring equipment from hbm since 2016 to determine parameters including torque rpm voltage and temperature. Maximum efficiency is usually near 75 of rated load.

Here a team of motor testing experts carries out tests up to 1800 kw under load and up to 10000 kw with no load in accordance with the latest state of technology. Peak efficiency is at 7 5 hp. It was set up in our specially converted test hall in 2013. Ac dc or ac dc test systems.

Whether you are testing in a motor repair shop in an industrial plant on a ship or up a wind turbine baker instruments motor test equipment allows you to fully understand the condition of the motor the power supply and the load. With the motor at normal operating temperature the vibration velocity shall not exceed 2 8 mm s rms or 4 mm s peak in any direction. Reasons to determine motor loading most electric motors are designed to run at 50 to 100 of rated load. The measurements shall be carried out with an instrument conforming to iso 2954 10 1000 hz frequency range.

This enables us to make a sort of ecg for each motor states the manager richard renee. The state of the art aw dynamometer can simulate actual motor load conditions while at the same time measure horsepower and torque output and print a validated written. This diagnostic solution equipment is an accurate testing tool that can easily test ac dc traction and gear reduction motors providing guaranteed motor efficiency. Thus a 10 horsepower hp motor has an acceptable load range of 5 to 10 hp.

Output power up to 10 000 kva. Knowledge of the basics together with powerful new test equipment vastly simplifies the job. Testing electric motors doesn t have to be a mystery. Electric motor testing equipment supplied to nord drive systems for testing ac induction motors rated from 0 12 kw to 22 kw 2 pole 4 pole 6 pole 1000 rpm 15000 rpm 3000 rpm motors for.

300 2500 kva high power motor test systems our range of options for high power motor testing include. The menzel electric motor load test stand is the second test facility at our berlin location. For bearings fitted with proximity probes the unfiltered peak to peak value of vibration including shaft run out at any load between no load. So when a motor fails to operate it may not be obvious what the problem is.

Magtrol s dynamometers electronics and software are used for testing all types of electric and pneumatic motors gas engines and gearheads as well as servo drives and inverters. Medium or low voltage input options.
