A PWM DRIVE LABORATORY: EXPLOITING RESEARCH AND CURRICULAR SYNERGY

摘要

This paper describes a variable speed motor test facility designed and developed for both research and educational purposes. This laboratory is part of an ongoing collaboration between mechanical and electrical engineering faculty in both research and education. The relationship of the laboratory to the electrical and mechanical Engineering curricula, as well as topical areas of research, is outlined. The motor, drives, instrumentation, and data acquisition system in The laboratory are then described. Finally, sample measurements That illustrate principles covered in electrical and mechanical engi- Neering courses and results representative of current research are Presented.
