Gain the competitive edge in electrification with HBM Power Analyzers. Designed specifically for the testing of electrical machines and inverters, HBM systems offer significant benefits over conventional power analysers when it comes to electrical machine and powertrain testing.
Premium electrical machine testing from HBM comes in the form of the eDrive solution, which covers the entire measurement chain: high-precision sensors, powerful instruments, and intuitive software. Mechanical signals (e.g. torque) and electrical signals (current and voltage) are acquired simultaneously, helping engineers to better understand the electrical drive and its losses faster and more accurately than ever before.
Two critical selling points of the eDrive electrical machine testing solution include:
The two main aspects of the HBM solution:
The eDrive solution from HBM covers the entire measurement chain: high-precision sensors, powerful instruments and intuitive software. Mechanical signals (e.g. torque) and electrical signals (current and voltage) are acquired simultaneously and help engineers to better understand the electrical drive and its losses faster and more accurately than ever before.
Test engineers performing high-speed power measurements of inverter-driven electric machines can now combine CAN bus control signals with data about electrical (current, voltage) and mechanical (speed, torque) signals. The simultaneous storage of all types of data by a single Power Analyzer enables faster and more flexible set-up of test benches.
CAN bus support means you can acquire or transfer data via CAN or CAN FD formats, as required; or manage experiments via CAN bus control commands.
Compare and correlate the measured values of the machine with what the machine’s controller is estimating, by bringing external sensor signals into the Power Analyzer. Save all signals to a single file for review, post-processing and auditability.
Provide feedback for the automation system by transferring calculated results of machine measurements into a different data system (e.g. the dynamometer).
A familiar interface which provides simple and easy-to-use controls for data acquisition.
Extending the scope of eDrive Power Analyzers to include CAN bus data gives Test Engineers three major advantages:
The CAN bus interface is available as an option for new hardware and as an upgrade for most HBK Power Analyzers already in the field.
Would you like to integrate the HBM eDrive electrical machine testing solution into your test stand automation? Perception software and/or the Genesis HighSpeed hardware can be used in your specific environment, in exactly the way you want.
Several large system integrators already did integrate eDrive, using one or more of the interfaces available:
