EV Motors and Generators Panel Trainer
Model Number: 742-01
A safe-voltage trainer for exploring EV traction motor control, speed feedback, and diagnostic fault-finding.
Overview
The EV Motors and Generators Panel Trainer is part of our brand new range of Hybrid and EV resources – designed to provide students with the skills and knowledge to maintain and repair Electric and Hybrid vehicles. The EV Motors and Generators Panel Trainer (742-01) is focussed on motor speed control, and uses a variety of sensors to feed back motor position and speed. The trainer provides students and instructors with the opportunity to demonstrate, investigate and fault-find a simulation of an electric vehicle traction motor system. The trainer is designed to allow access to a simulation of the mechanical operation as well as provide a mimic of the electrical power flow. It also includes test points at a safe voltage level to allow for investigation of electrical circuits and a range of fault-insertion options to simulate typical real-world system malfunctions.
