University gains dynamometer drive package

The Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering at the University of Sheffield has commissioned a dynamometer drive package donated by Lenze for use in its teaching and research. The system, with capacity to test machines up to 22kW, is being used for 4th-year undergraduate student projects and by Electrical Machines and Drives Research Group personnel. The department has a high academic reputation, and is known worldwide.

It achieved 5-star ratings in both the 1996 and 2000 Research Assessment Exercises.

The Electrical Machines and Drives Research Group (EMD) undertakes research on a broad range of topics related to future developments in electrical engineering.

It currently consists of around 60 academic, research and technical personnel working on applications in areas such as automotive, aerospace and consumer products.

It is one of the leaders in its field, and attracts research funding averaging around GBP 1 million a year.

In line with a policy of encouraging relevant university research, drive and automation specialists, Lenze has donated a complete package of a panel mounted dynamometer drive system.
