Laboratory for rotating machines and electrical drives perform all kinds of tests of magnetic materials, conductors, and insulations:
- AC magnetic measurement (AC magnetic properties of magnetically soft materials up to 60 kHz, measurement of dynamic hysteresis loops, measurement, and separation of eddy current and hysteresis losses, complex permeability components, the permeability of paramagnetic austenitic steel and fully magnetic steel…)
- DC magnetic measurement (measuring the DC magnetization curve and static hysteresis loop for all kinds of steel, relative permeability curve…)
- Measurement of permanent magnet properties (pulse magnetization, yoke magnetization, determination of permanent magnet characteristics)
- Conductor characteristics (determination of specific conductivity, dielectric insulation characteristics, aging, thermal shock…)
- Solid electrical insulation materials characteristics, slot insulation materials
Thermal Cycle Testing
As a part of the Laboratory, we have a chamber for Thermal Cycling Tests according to IEEE 1310. We can perform thermal cycle tests for all types of bars and form-wound coils and all types of insulation. The thermal cycling test is automated and computer-controlled. The temperature of the samples is measured all over the chamber. Special care is taken on uniform temperature distribution during heating and cooling. The Laboratory is equipped with a power source to provide current to all cross-sections of bars and coils. Cooling is performed by controlled fans.
Testing of magnetic materials used in rotating machines
Materials testing is often required to ensure that products and their components can perform for their intended use and endure for their expected life. Materials testing provides information that helps adequately determine the root cause of material failure. Our laboratory provides all the answers you need to make business decisions about the quality of your products and processes.
