    Why not using a Synchronous Machine as a Dynamometer?

    Thank you again. TugboatEng I see now that I need either an AVR or a fixed 60KW load bank with a DC power supply. Did you mean a constant current or a constant voltage DC power supply?. This is needed because the "Voltage drops significantly with increasing load due to armature reaction and...

    Why not using a Synchronous Machine as a Dynamometer?

    Thank you guys, it is relieving to know that it can be done. As waross said I thought I would just connect the sync machine to the load bank directly. I can control the load bank with about 1KW steps, and I can control the excitation current. I am more worried about the control unit now, I...

    Why not using a Synchronous Machine as a Dynamometer?

    Hello guys I am planning to make an AC dynamometer for research purposes to test PSA 4-cylinder diesel engines with the following specifications: - Power max.: 60KW. - Torque max.: 220 N.m. - Speed max.: 4500rpm speed. * Can't use the grid. * Going to use dynamic torque sensor to log power...
