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 'What happens if shielded cable has short to the shield?'

While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
