Lab for Mechatronics II - Power Electronics

The largely universally designed test stands can be used to carry out investigations in the fields of power electronics and drive technology and tests up to a feed-in power of 80 kW, and an RPM of up to 13,000 min-1. All common AC and DC voltages are available.

In cooperation with regional and cross-regional companies, we have carried out many R&D projects in the areas of design, calculation, simulation, and testing of electric power engineering systems. The research activity is explained in detail on the website of the TTZ-EMO.

Among other equipment, the lab offers

• Three sets of transformers for providing two adjustable three-phase voltage grids with frequencies from 17 to 100 Hz and one direct voltage grid with up to 1000 V / 80 A.
• Programmable three-phase voltage source
• Laboratory power supply units for (DC) voltages up to 300 V and currents up to 20 A.
• Two rooms for long-term testing (no air conditioning)
• Test stand for small drives < 300 W
• Several highly precise torque and rpm sensors (deviation < 0.1 %)
• Modern, state-of-the-art measuring devices (digital memory oscilloscopes, power measuring devices ...)
• Modern simulation tools and development platforms for applications in power electronics and further electric systems
