Computer Aided Motor Test Bench
Objectives:
Perform Quality Assurance Tests on 200 watt motor used to charge operating spring of circuit breaker
Tests to be performed are No-Load Test, Duty cycle test, Load test
All Tests should be carried in either Manual Mode or Auto ie Computer controlled mode
Motors to be tested are universal motors ratings of which are as 24VDC to 240VDC and 110VAC to 410VAC
Salient Features of the test bench:
- Automated loading
- Precise voltage control (+/- 0.5%)
- User-friendly interface and easy to use agronomics
- Capability of testing a large array of motors
- Real-time multi-parameter feedback
- Precise digital readout of motor load
- Continuous temperature monitoring
- Emergency stop button
- Earth fault and short circuit protection using a MCB+ELCB combination
- Short circuit protection provided by interlinked-fuse design
- Modular design ensures isolation of the faulty part, from the healthy section
- Scope for future augmentation
Features included in the software:
- Speed-torque feedback from serial port
- Real-time scanning of the all other parameters from the hardware interfaces via the parallel port
- Exhaustive database management of all past test records
- Extensive real-time data processing capabilities
- Governs contactor-relay logic
