The customer who is visiting my facility in a couple of days wants to test his new drive and he s bringing in his 4160 volt drive. We have a GDY-37 generator set coupled to a 1000 HP motor which is capable of running in 4160 volts with an FLA of 124 amps. Now the problem is that, the customer wants to see how a locked rotor condition would affect his drive. We haven't done locked rotor tests in our workshop and since am a new hire, i dont know how to manufacture a brake assembly for such a large motor. Can some1 please guide me on how to lock the rotor (possibly for a time of 15-25 seconds) for a 1000 hp machine?
