Power Measurement using dynamometer

Procedure

Configuration:-

  • Select motor size , diameter of drum and check/click the configuration button. (we are considering standard single phase motor sizes)
  • Click on Check Configuration

Basic Knowledge -

  • Answer all the questions and click on next level

Simulation-

Part A

  • Click on motor and start cold water supply
  • Click on Engine image and start loading the weight
  • Check the spring balance reading and click on Submit button beside meter reading
  • Calculate the power and submit the answer to left side text box
  • Repeat the process for 5-6 times with different loads and observe the table reading and change in power with weight

Part B

  • Start the cold water pump for cooling system
  • Start the induction motor with no load condition and check the power sensor reading
  • calculate the standard power (upto two decimals) for no load condition and submit the answer
  • load the weight , start induction motor and check the sensor power reading (torque sensor reset to zero and engine stops)
  • calculate the standard power (upto two decimals) for load condition and submit the answer
  • Repeat the same process for from point no. 3, loading the till the maximum weights
  • Observe the reading , calculate the standard torque for every observation and submit the answer
  • plot the graph by clicking on "show graph" button after taking atleast 5-6 readings

Fault Finding:

  1. Observe the shown table and select the fault accordingly
  2. After selecting the correct fault. All stages are completed
