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 'How might electronics be different if AC voltage was 72V at 45 Hz?'

Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?

Thread 'Why does the amperage go real high if there is a low voltage short?'

I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...

Thread 'What happens if shielded cable has a 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...
