Motor Control Test: Check Setup AC Drive & Motor

AI Thread Summary
To ensure proper functionality of an AC drive and motor setup, tests should align with the specifications provided by the manufacturer. Validation tests are crucial and should be compared against manufacturer data to confirm accuracy. Many users emphasize that issues often arise from the application of the drive rather than the drive itself. A broader perspective suggests that systems engineering plays a significant role in performance, overshadowing individual component reliability. Proper testing and adherence to guidelines are essential for effective motor control.

TL;DR Summary
Test of AC drive along with motor
Hello

So i was curious to know, what kind of tests you guys would run on a setup, for an AC drive and motor, to see if the controlling works properly?

kind regards
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
These tests are usually defined by the motor/drive manufacturer. If you have questions about the tests you should contact the manufacturer.
 
So what you are saying is, that you would perform validation test, and compare them with manufacturer data?
 
If the validation test is the one described in the manufacturer's manual, yes.
 
JUst saw this post - IMO - errors are far more often the application of the drive than with the drive itself. In a broader sense - Systems Engineering is the issue, not the component reliability.
 

Thread '3-terminal device external modeling'

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...

Thread 'Question about the voltage between two charged capacitors'

suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
