Universal software-hardware measurement complex for testing wide range of synchronous machines

Abstract

Synchronous electrical machines need to be tested after fabrication and also during maintenance. For this purpose can be useful suggested new measurement complex. The software structure of the considered measurement complex was designed in compliance with: Russian, IEC, and IEEE standards for testing synchronous machines. The software of measurement complex was designed on base “LabVIEW®” development metods and is orientated to work with National Instruments hardware. The measurement system software was tested using a designed peculiar laboratory test stand, which is based on the 700W G273 alternator. It also was tested by using (HIL) model of the 800kW STD-800 synchronous motor. The testing results show operability and high accuracy of the measurement system.
