ECE458

The Electromechanical Energy Conversion Lab is located in 3293 SEL. Each of the four lab stations is equipped with a 1/3 horsepower 3-phase wound rotor motor, 3-phase synchronous machine, DC motor / generator, and a 3-Phase transformer. Experiments topics include transformer characteristics such as losses, regulation, efficiency, lagging power factors, coil polarity, multicoil, and equivalent circuit parameters. Students explore the characteristics of DC motors, such as: resistances, operation, field connections, and direction of rotation. In addition, students evaluate wound-rotor induction motor characteristics, like starting and speed control.
