Abstract :
In efficiency measurements of high performance variable speed drives, it is necessary to perform power measurement on distorted signals with low uncertainty. This involves the adoption of a suitable equipment and an adequate measurement technique. In this paper, a measurement station for digital efficiency measurements on high and low power electrical drives is described. A systematic approach to uncertainty evaluation and a performance optimization criterion are proposed for the automatic measurement station designed for the testing of high efficiency variable speed drives
