Dear all,
I'm looking for information on VFD(inverter duty) motor test equipment.
Is there any supplier making such equipment with auto report print, customrized test panel, etc?
Or we have to build own test equipment? If so, that needs a lot of R&D.

Help needed, thanks.

What is it that you think you would test differently from any AC motor?

Your Query is;

First,you're looking for a test equipment for simply an AC motor. Second, you want it to customized and automated test.

Then, what specific parameters you're looking for? What job you want to be done?

Your query is very expensive, it sounds not a good practice for engineers. :)
 
Your test specification needs to be made first, before anyone can help you with equipment to use. Please list your spec.'s.
 
place1234,
Specs are needed, indeed.
If you work in predictive maintenance, then your challenges may be similar to ours. We test our "VSD applications" (Drive + Motor + Load) using the "Explorer II" from Baker. This tester shows all the normal power quality numbers, plus frequency, voltage level, torque and speed vs. time with what looks about a 2ms resolution.
 
gonso, that would work to place1234. Interesting! How about its connectivity to networks?
