Hobby Scale Dynamometer

This webpage contains information regarding the development of a dynamometer for the characterization of hobby scale electric motors. The need for such an instrument stems from the lack of technical information regarding the electrical and mechanical characteristics available for hobby scale electric motors. This is an Northern Arizona University Capstone Electrical Enginerring Project that will be completed Spring of 2015. This instrument will have the following capabilities:

• Calculating Electrical and Mechanical Torque
• Create Torque-Speed Curves for the Motor-Under-Test
• Conduct Steady-State Load Testing
• Conduct Transient Load Testing
• Report the Thermal Characteristics of the Motor-Under-Test
