The AC supply includes 7 output voltage taps. The AC Power, DC Armature, and DC Field supplies are adjustable from near zero to 100% of rating.
To reduce high inrush currents, the output voltage is controlled by means of a Column-Type Variable Transformer designed and manufactured by PHENIX for this purpose. The PHENIX CTVT utilizes carbon rollers for current collection to eliminate the problems associated with sliding contacts. The PHENIX CTVT is designed with a low voltage difference (less than 0.7 V between adjacent turns to provide very high resolution on the output. The unique screw and gear drive system provides a superior and long lasting drive system.
Complete instrumentation is provided for definitive measurement of electrical characteristics of motors under test (3-phase metering, VM, CM, Watt, VARS, KVA, Power Factor). All metering is displayed on the meter module and digital panel meters, and have accuracy of +1.0% F.S. for each tap rating.
The control system combined with our testing software create a very user-friendly system which provides complete documentation and reporting for each motortested. WINMTS2 software is included.
