Dynamometer Test Cells for Electric Motor Efficiency Testing
Efficient electric motors help to keep manufacturing centers highly productive, and also help to substantially reduce a business’s overall carbon footprint. Electric motor efficiency testing is a critical part of improving any device’s overall efficiency. Dyno One designs and constructs dynamometer test cells for a wide range of electric motors used in multiple settings. We build test systems for electric motors that power fans, pumps, conveyors, compressors, and many other applications. These tests might assess the individual performance of the electric motor or the overall performance, energy efficiency, response speed, sound or another aspect of the machine itself.
Our dynamometer test cells for electric motor efficiency testing can be used with motors for all of the following machines:
- Fans
- Pumps
- Conveyors
- Compressors
- Generators
- Manufacturing equipment
- And many more
Key Features
Dyno One designs and constructs dynamometer systems to precisely assess many different types of electric motors, including heavy-duty, high-performance machines as well as small machines. Our expert engineers work to understand the needs of your products and your facility, so we can build a test cell that fits perfectly.
Regenerative Operation
Using fully regenerative technology, the dynamometer system returns power to the AC mains, dramatically reducing the overall energy needs required for effective testing, especially in continuous duty or high power testing situations.
Fully Compliant Testing
As government regulation and energy efficiency targets become more demanding, our testing technology has become more rigorous. Our systems fulfill multiple efficiency standards, including IEEE-112, IEC-60034, CSA390, MEXA and more.
Fully Automated, Continuous Operation
Many of our dynamometer test systems operate fully unattended, 24 hours a day. With leading-class commercial off the shelf (COTS) components not constrained by proprietary parts or programming, our systems are made to be reliable, maintainable and keep on running.
Special Options and Models
Our ability to work with many different electrical motors and perform efficiency tests for a range of applications starts with our ability to tailor each system. We integrate our dynamometers with ancillary equipment and complimentary technology to make it adaptable and innovative. This helps to ensure that the system not only meets your end use goals, but also integrates seamlessly with your facility.
Tailored Fit
To build the specs for your dynamometer test system, we first assess the rated power, torque, max speed, and other variables of the motor. This ensures that your test system delivers the testing capabilities that you require, without paying for extras.
Full System Analysis
In addition to electric motor efficiency testing, our test cells can also assess the complete end use application. Our dynamometer test systems can give you accurate, repeatable data regarding temperature measurements, noise, vibration analysis, and more.
Complete Integration
Our dynamometer test systems are built to fit the testing requirements of your electric motors, as well as the needs of your facility and environment. Our systems integrate with ancillary products to ensure a seamless fit, safe operation, and keep maintenance low.
