Control Boxes
The new Electrical Machines training equipment from Matrix includes three control boxes. The digital drive box, analogue 3 phase box and battery simulator box. The main electrical machine teaching comes from using the digital drive box to interface between the hardware and the PC application.
Each box has the same touchscreen interface and dimension footprint, allowing for easy stacking in use and storing. If used individually then each box has flip out legs allowing for better viewing angle and operational use.
Simple 4 mm connections allow for easy safe connections to the modules.

Dynamometer
The Dynamometer is made up of a long shafted Permanent Magnet DC machine, free rotating between bearings mounted in a cradle. The Dynamometer cradle takes torque measurements in both directions of rotation: anti-clockwise and clockwise with a strain gauge linked to the hidden in the module.
The Dynamometer is fitted with two 4mm shrouded safety connectors which are used to add an electrical load to the machine and are also used as a DC machine (24V 50W) when testing machines as generators.

PC Software
Custom built software includes a digital drive box enabling the investigation of various motors and other mechanical modules. With four modern high speed digital motor driver outputs, this powerful system is capable of driving both DC and AC based motors including Brushless and Stepper.
The system allows for the exploration of capacitors in motor systems with a variable capacitor bank and via the dynamometer applies a load to the motor system, providing an effective variable resistance. Powered from an internal mains driven 36V DC power supply or via an external DC battery supply of up to 36V, this adaptable solution is suitable for a range of learning environments.

Touch screen based operation and accompanying PC and web based software offers a multi use and versatile piece of teaching equipment. Communication methods include USB, Wi-Fi and Ethernet and the system comes preconfigured with an open API allowing compatibility with software such as Matlab, Labview and Python.
This next generation offering now also features an auto ID system to automatically configure the software based on the specific modules that are connected, to save time and increase productivity.

Electrical Machines Motors and Modules
This next generation training system offers 7 motors and 4 mechanical auxiliary modules across a range of bundle options, providing a breadth of learning outcomes.

The Dynamometer is fitted with two 4mm shrouded safety connectors which are used to add an electrical load to the machine and are also used as a DC machine (24V 50W) when testing machines as generators.

Brushless Motor
The Brushless DC motor is a small 24V 52 watt device with 8mm shaft and safety coupling. The 6 pole device is driven by a 24V three phase supply and has Hall effect sensors to sense rotor position. The motor module has the auto ID with temperature built into it.

DC Motor
The 24V 50W Permanent magnet DC motor is a simple machine with two magnetic poles for the stator and a wound rotor with carbon brushes. The machine is fitted with 4mm shrouded connectors. The motor module has the auto ID with temperature built into it.

Single Phase Motor
The single phase 24V 35W induction motor has a 4 pole wound stator with two windings for start and run. Connection is provided on 4mm shrouded connectors with a common terminal, start terminal and run terminal. Requires an external capacitor (included inside the Control unit) to start rotation. The motor module has the auto ID with temperature built into it.

Series Motor
The series motor can be driven from 24V AC or 24V DC and has a 2 pole wound stator and a wound rotor with carbon brushes. Rotor and stator connections are made on separate 4mm shrouded connectors. The motor module has the auto ID with temperature built into it.

Shunt Motor
The shunt motor is a 24V device with a 2 pole wound stator a wound rotor with carbon brushes. Rotor and stator connections are made on separate 4mm shrouded connectors so that the field and armature can be excited by separate DC power supplies. The motor module has the auto ID with temperature built into it.

Three Phase Motor
The three phase 24V, 35W, 50Hz induction motor has a 2 pole wound stator. Connection for each winding is provided on 4mm shrouded safety connectors. The motor module has the auto ID with temperature built into it. Connections can be wired up in star and delta configurations.

Stepper Motor
The stepper is a NEMA23, 2 phase, 8mm shaft motor. With step angle of 1.8deg, 2.4Nm holding torque rated at 4A it provides high torque and accuracy for testing. It has a phase resistance of 0.9ohms and inductance of 3.4mH +-20% (1KHz). The motor module has the auto ID with temperature built into it.

Gearbox 1:5 / 5:1
The planetary gearbox has an efficiency of 90% with Backlash at No-load: <=30arcmin. It is a low noise gearbox at <=55dB with a IP rating of IP54. The mechanical module has the auto ID built into it.

Locked Rotor Motor
The locked rota allows for zero RPM stall torque testing of the motors. Within the module is a load cell to take stall torque values for data acquisition into the software. Two positions allow for the coupler to be engaged and disengaged depending on testing.

Flywheel and Clutch
An electromagnetic clutch is coupled to the motor side of the module, with a flywheel coupled to the dynamometer shaft allowing for slip condition and inertia testing to be conducted. PWM single allows for variable control of the clutch engagement between 0-24v. A safety shroud contains the flywheel during operation.

Electrical Machines Solutions
The new electrical machines teaching equipment from Matrix, features nine different types of machine and five aux mechanical modules, providing an impressive breadth of learning outcomes.
Bundles are available for various learning requirements aswell as a complete set, which includes all components in the range.
Electrical Machines V2.0 will be officially launched in early 2025. More information on all solutions available in the range will be launched soon!
