Description

T TEST-eDRIVE is dedicated to testing high-performance electric motors and drives for electrification in the aerospace, automotive and mechatronics sectors for Advanced production systems. Examples of applications are:

  • More-Electric-Aircraft – on board generators, actuators and inverters
  • Electric Vehicles – electric power trains, power and control subsystems, wired and wireless chargers
  • Industrial and manufacturing applications – drives and converters

Main services:

  • Testing of electric motors and drives up to 200 Nm, 20,000 rpm, 150 kW.
  • Identification of electrical machine characteristics, including magnetic model.
  • Measurement of motor and drive efficiency maps.
  • Controlled temperature testing (refrigerant from 0° to 90°, fixed machine temperature test).
  • HiL emulation of driving cycles - operating cycles.
