out under realistic conditions. The
integrated AVL PUMA Open™
automation system enables fully
automated – and thus time and costefficient
– test runs for all relevant
test procedures.
In addition, the innovative testbed
concept allows the implementation
in different performance and speed
classes and also offers the possibility
to functionally expand the testbed
at a later point – from software and
measurement-technology extensions
to a climate chamber module.
This makes the AVL test system a
future-proof investment.
AVL electric motor testbeds are
available as standardized systems
or as customized testbed solutions.
MEETING HIGH
CUSTOMER DEMANDS
The powerful, tailor-made electric
motor testbed for Hitachi was commissioned
at the Oberding site near
Munich. It is used in the inverter/
e-motor test network and as a verification
and validation environment
for a wide variety of electric
motor types. Among other things,
the testbed has a climatic chamber,
in which temperatures from –40 °C
to +150 °C can be simulated, and a
speed range of up to 20,000 revolutions
per minute. Currently, the
system is already equipped to efficiently
meet future requirements
and to test systems with up to
800 kW, 1,600 A and 1,000 V. AVL
and Hitachi are already in joint discussions
to establish a further testbed
in Germany and also in Japan.
