Testing Facilities
Scott Drive has designed and manufactured a custom Test Bed for testing both motors and controllers. The test bed is designed to accommodate four motors up to 450mm in diameter and 900mm in length coupled together through a jaw coupling capable of handling 2000 Nm of torque.
EMI Testing
All switching circuits inherently produce Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). Careful design can minimise conducted/emitted emissions however this can only be verified by testing with a Spectrum Analyser. SDL’s testing facilities include a Spectrum Analyser capable of testing EMI emissions in the 9kHz to 1.5GHz range.
