Bancada de simulação de cargas mecânicas para motor de indução trifásico acionado por conversor de frequência

Abstract

This work presents the development of a learning platform for testing the three-phase induction motors. The project is the implementation and automation of a mechanical bench for testing in electrical machines with power less than 5HP. The developed bench allows user interaction, gradual and assisted in all stages, ie, from the design of the electric machine to the experimental verification of the dynamic behavior of the tested machine. Teaching resources from educational are illustrated by the results obtained with the control of a dc machine operating as a generator driven by three-phase induction motor. With this stand it is possible to perform significant tests to determine the performance of electric motors, such as measuring voltages and stator currents, speed, torque and power on to the motor shaft, beyond the graphics of torque and current versus speed , power and efficiency versus applied load factor. To drive and processing of information obtained (measures), uses a data acquisition system controlled by an application developed specifically for this work in graphical programming using the \"LabVIEW \" software. The study was conducted in steps like the following description: literature review study of NBR 5383-1(2002) (Brazilian rules of electrical machines), study and simulation of induction motors, physical design of the bench, specification of sensors and equipment, assembly and implementation of the testing manager application.
