Ward-Leonard Generator
Contributor: Energy Source: Vibration
Application: Machinery
Specific Location: On top of dc generator, close to coupling
Data Duration: 03m 39s
Data Frequency: 2048 Hz
Abstract: The acceleration of a Ward-Leonard set was measured. This consists of a 3-phase induction motor that drives a dc generator via some flexible couplings. The set is bolted securely to a heavy table. Data Logger was positioned on top of the dc generator, cable-tied to the metal case close to the coupling of the shafts. The logger was on for approximately 3 minutes that included start-up and turn off.
