This bench can be used to study a drive solution for an asynchronous motor, by simulating various types of mechanical load called constant, proportional or quadratic torque (pump, fan, hoist etc.).

A switch can be used to simulate simple breakdowns to make use of the Altivar diagnostic information.

The bench is mounted on a frame with locking castors.

It consists of:

1 TSX Micro PLC for controlling various types of load

1 drive control sequence (selector switches and indicator lights)

1 x 1.5 kW asynchronous motor with inertia wheel and powder brake

1 x 1.5 kW 400 V Altivar 71 drive with braking resistor

Measuring points on safety sockets for reading the following information:

AC supply voltage and current

Speed feedback voltage

Motor voltage and current

Motor temperature (PT100 probe)
