Induced Over-Voltage test set

03/15/2012 1:55 PM

We have an induced overvoltage test set that consists of a 2KW AC Motor coupled with a 140A 24Vdc modified car alternator.This test set must be able to able supply the test object (viz. Transformer) with a voltage that is twice the rated voltage of that object from the LV side and the frequency must be doubled(viz from 50hz to 100hz) also to avoid saturation of the magnetic device. The problem with this test it does not produce stable frequency. i was thinking of considering Motor-Gen set and where can i get one in South Africa.

  1. You already have a motor/generator set. Do you mean an engine driven set?
  2. The overvoltage test does not care about the exact frequency (so long as it does not allow saturation). What matters is the voltage.
  3. Is the voltage unstable?
  4. Mains supplies are usually within +/- 1% of rated frequency, which should be a stable enough value.
  5. How are you measuring the frequency? The problem may lie there.
