Objectives of development tests for your electric motors
The aim of the electric motor development tests is to :
- Precisely calibrate the control laws (v/f, vector, FOC, DTC, etc.).
- Optimise energy efficiency and the torque curve.
- Ensure thermal management of the engine and associated electronic components.
- Adapt the system to its actual operating conditions (cycle, load, environment).
- Check dynamic behaviour: starting, acceleration, regenerative braking, torque reversal.
What types of electric motor are involved?
Mobility
Rail
Aerospace
Industrialists
Our approach: Steps and methodology
1. Initial set-up and characterization
- Identification of the motor's electromechanical characteristics (inductance, resistance, nominal torque).
- Integration into the test bench with multi-channel acquisition (voltage, current, temperature, speed, torque).
2. Control development
- Adjustment of control laws (FOC, sinusoidal, BLDC, etc.).
- Adjustment of current, speed and position loops.
- Optimisation of start-up, management of current peaks and speed transitions.
3. Thermal and energy validation
- Simulation of real operating profiles.
- Monitoring overheating (windings, magnets, bearings).
- Analysis of overall efficiency (motor + inverter).
4. Tune-up in a specific environment (optional)
- Integration into a climatic, vibration or EMC test campaign.
- Verification of performance stability under external stresses.
