Abstract
This paper describes the hardware requirements for a user friendly, easy to use test bed system to evaluate the efficiency of variable speed drives under variable load conditions. The test bed will allow variable speed drives to be loaded with any desired load characteristic to enable measurement and comparison of the savings that can be achieved when replacing fixed speed drives with variable speed drives
