Diseño e implementación de un sistema automático de pruebas de funcionamiento para variadores y arrancadores suaves trifásicos hasta 50 hp

Abstract

This article is the result of a project carried out for the automation industry where improvement and optimization of the performance tests carried out on soft starters and inverters (repaired or new) in a power range between 15 HP and 50 HP are sought. A test bench is designed and implemented to generate load to the inverter or soft starter by means of a variable torque application and constant speed controlled by the user, generating a status report of the equipment tested in real time through a developed interface for HMI and an automatic voltage detection system by means of a PLC based on a standard test protocol designed for this project. Producing a system of low energy consumption taking advantage of the power generation capacity of an engine to return it to the grid and be used by the same system.
