200 HP AC Generator Test Stand D39315

This test stand is designed for the purpose of testing new or overhauled AC Generators. Model 39315 is equipped with a high speed gearbox and 200 HP drive motor with a variable frequency drive to run various AC Generators at speeds up to 12,000 RPM. The gearbox is equipped with a standalone and self contained lubrication package. The test stand consists of two sections, a drive section and a test console, that allows the operator to control the test stand from the test console located in a separate location from the drive section

Model 39315 incorporates a computer based data acquisition system using National Instruments hardware. Instrumentation signals including drive speed and voltage are fed into the data acquisition hardware. A custom software program that is developed in LabVIEW® reads, displays, and plots the necessary parameters to complete the test procedures.

The test stand includes a self contained load bank mounted on the drive section of the test stand. Features include a phase sequence monitoring system, adjustable power factor loading, and display. The test stand is capable of 3-phase loading, 1-phase loading, and power factor adjustment. The maximum 3-phase loading value is 60 kW, the maximum 1-phase loading value is 30 kW, and the maximum power factor adjustment is 0.8.
