ELECTRICAL MOTOR TESTING LABORATORY
(Funded by TEQIP – III under Centre of Excellence in Alternate Energy Research)
Motor testing set up is one of the important installations procured under TEQIP-III. Electric Motor Testing Centre (EMTC), Government College of Technology, is the first among all engineering institutions in Tamilnadu for testing industrial motors. EMTC is equipped with three fully-automated test benches capable of testing motors in the wide range of fractional HP to 10 HP.
The test Centre for electric motors offers the possibility to carry out extensive analyses of electric drives. The test bench includes all components that are necessary for testing of motors. These include the dynamometer loading, a vibration-decoupled machine bed and measurement technology for recording mechanical and electrical measured variables. The field of application ranges from efficiency measurements, load tests to thermal validation and structure-borne noise measurements and endurance test of electric drive and inverter.
In addition, measurements certification can also be provided.
The planning and assembly of the test specimen are carried out by experienced, expert personnel. The tests are accompanied by a measurement engineer who operates and monitors the test bench.
The test set up includes
- Motor test rigs with dynamometers and load sensors
- Eddy current dynamometers 80 Nm, 24 Nm, 2 Nm
- Dynamometer control unit
- Power Analyzer
- High speed DAC with motor testing software with dedicated PC
- Rectifier Unit
- Motorized dimmer start for AC motors
- Hand held resistance meter
- Hand held Infrared tester
- High voltage tester
- Hand held vibration meter
- Hand held sound level meter
- Hydraulic motor lifting stacker
- Equipment to measure and plot temperature rise for different duty loads
