General Description
The Electromechanical Training System combines a modular design approach with computer-based data
acquisition and control to provide unrivaled training in electromechanical systems. Training is oriented toward
today's competence requirements, including electricity fundamentals (i.e., dc power circuits), single-phase and
three-phase ac power circuits, power transformers, three-phase transformer banks, permanent magnet dc
motors, three-phase rotating machines (induction machine and synchronous machine), and power factor
correction. The system features the Four-Quadrant Dynamometer/Power Supply, Model 8960, and the Data
Acquisition and Control Interface, Model 9063, two state-of-the-art USB peripherals that greatly enhance the
learning experience of students.
The courseware in the Electromechanical Training System provides students with a sound knowledge of basic
electric power technology, including the operation of the permanent magnet dc motor, three-phase induction
machine, and three-phase synchronous machine, three rotating machines that are commonly used in numerous
applications today.
Two other rotating machine courses from the Electric Power Technology Training Program can be optionally
added to the Electromechanical Training System. These courses complete student training in rotating
machinery by adding knowledge of the following conventional rotating machines: separately excited, shunt,
series, and compound dc motors, separately excited, shunt, and compound dc generators, universal motor, and
single-phase induction motor (capacitor-start and split-phase types). These machines, although still in use
today, are less common in modern applications.
The Electromechanical Training System is part of the Electric Power Technology Training Systems, Series 8010.
Each training system in Series 8010 is based on the Electric Power Technology Training Program and provides a
turn-key solution dealing with some aspects of the wide field of electrical energy. The exhaustive courseware
provided with each training system covers all the theory required to perform the laboratory exercises, while
review questions and unit tests allow students to test the knowledge they have gained.
The Electric Power Technology Training Program is highly modular in both courseware and hardware. Because
of this, courses and equipment from the program are available as required, either individually or in the context
of a specific training system. The program covers several different subjects in the field of electrical energy, such
as rotating machines, electrical power transmission, power electronics, home energy production from
renewable resources (wind and sunlight), large-scale electricity production from hydropower and wind power,

smart-grid technologies (SVC, STATCOM, HVDC transmission, etc.), storage of electrical energy in batteries, and
drive systems for small electric vehicles and cars.

The above chart shows all courses in the Electric Power Technology Training Program. Blue boxes highlight courses included in the
training system covered in this datasheet, while dark grey boxes, if any, highlight courses that can be optionally added to this
training system.

Courseware
Each course in the training system includes a full-color student manual providing all the theoretical matter
required, guided lab-exercise procedures to be performed with the training equipment, and review questions
that test the knowledge gained by the student. Whenever possible, each course is built to bring the student to
actual applications as soon as possible. A full-color instructor guide providing all lab results and answers to
questions is also included with each course.

Modular Design Approach

The modular approach for designing
the training program and lab
equipment enables instructors to start
building their electrical-energy
laboratory with a basic package of
courses and equipment and add new
courses and equipment over time
without needless duplication of
equipment.
All lab equipment consists of modules
that can be inserted into a
workstation. Module dimensions vary
between two standard EMS sizes: full-size and half-size. Symbols and diagrams representing the electrical
components in each module are clearly silk-screened on the front panel. Standard, color-coded safety banana
jacks are used to provide access to the various components in each module.

Equipment Description
Workstation
8134-20
The Workstation is a fully assembled
workstation that serves the same
purpose as the Mobile Workstation,
Model 8110-2, but has no storage
cabinet or pull-out work surface. This
workstation is intended for use on a
bench (not supplied) and is fitted with
wooden feet to protect the bench top.
Alternatively, this workstation can be
mounted on either a Mobile Storage
Cabinet, Model 89117-1, to make a
Mobile Workstation, Model 8110-2, or
on a Mobile Base, Model 88863, to
make a mobile workstation without
storage cabinet. In that case, it is
possible to mount and lock a second
Workstation, Model 8134-2, on top of the first Workstation to double the space available for EMS modules.
The Workstation consists of three rows of compartments designed to house EMS modules. Two of these rows
have full-height compartments while the other row has half-height compartments. Each row of full-height
compartments can accommodate up to three full-size EMS modules or six half-size EMS modules whereas the
row of half-height compartments can accommodate up to three half-size EMS modules.

Module Installation
The EMS modules are guided into position along stainless steel guide rails. Separators between each bay of the
workstation ensure perfect alignment of the EMS modules and allow their easy insertion in the workstation. A
holding mechanism ensures that each EMS module stays in place once it is installed in a compartment of the
workstation. Front-mounted push levers allow all EMS modules on a single row to be released for easy removal.

Safety Padlock Bars

Two safety padlock bars on the front of the workstation prevent students from removing EMS modules during
laboratory exercises. The bars can be removed and locked to the side of the workstation when the safety lock is
not necessary.

Additional Information
Six holes in the rear panel of the workstation allow connection to a power supply, as well as the connection of 2
kW machines to their interconnection modules. Assembly of the workstation before painting ensures that each
EMS module in the workstation is correctly grounded.

Permanent Magnet DC Motor

8213-00
The Permanent Magnet DC Motor is a
high-speed, brushed dc motor
mounted in a full-size EMS module.
The magnetic field required for motor
operation is produced by powerful
permanent magnets mounted on the
motor stator. Connections to the
motor are made through color-coded
safety banana jacks located on the
front panel on the module. Power to
the motor must be fed by an external
dc power source. A toggle switch
mounted on the front panel can be
used to switch dc power to the motor on and off when the motor is connected to a battery pack. When driven by
a prime mover, the Permanent Magnet DC Motor operates as a dc generator.
The front panel of the Permanent Magnet DC Motor module can be opened to install a Timing Belt, Model 8942,
on the pulley of the motor shaft. This permits mechanical coupling of this motor to the Four-Quadrant
Dynamometer/Power Supply, Model 8960. The diameter of the Permanent Magnet DC Motor pulley is smaller
(12 teeth) than that of the pulleys of the Four-Quadrant Dynamometer/Power Supply (24 teeth). This difference
of pulley ratio (12 to 24) permits adapting the speed (0 4000 r/min) of the Permanent Magnet DC Motor to the
speed of the Four-Quadrant Dynamometer/Power Supply (between 0 2000 r/min).

Four-Pole Squirrel-Cage Induction Motor

8221-2A
The Four-Pole Squirrel-Cage Induction Motor is a 0.2 kW squirrel-cage induction machine mounted in a full-size
EMS module. The machine stator windings are independently connected (six jacks), allowing connection in
either wye or delta configuration. Connections to the machine are made through color-coded safety banana
jacks located on the front panel on the module. The machine has a thermistor output that allows monitoring of
the machine internal temperature to prevent overheating. A tensioner bearing can be ordered as an option.

The Synchronous Motor/Generator is
a 0.2 kW three-phase synchronous
machine mounted in a full-size EMS
module. This machine can be operated
either as a three-phase motor or a
three-phase generator. Each phase of
the machine stator windings is
independently terminated and
identified on the front panel to allow
operation in either wye or delta
configuration. The machine rotor is
equipped with a squirrel-cage damper.
Variable dc excitation to the rotor field
windings is fed through externally mounted slip rings and brushes that are wired to a rheostat and control
switch located on the front panel.
Connections to the machine are made through color-coded safety banana jacks located on the front panel of the
module. This front panel of the module can be opened to install a Timing Belt, Model 8942, on the pulley of the

Resistive Load
8311-0A
The Resistive Load consists of a half-
size EMS module housing nine wire-
wound power resistors arranged in
three identical groups. Each group
consists of three resistors connected
in parallel that can be switched on or
off with toggle switches to obtain
various resistance values. This allows
the total (equivalent) resistance of each group to be increased or decreased by steps. Six safety banana jacks
on the module front panel provide access to each resistor group. The three resistor groups can be connected
separately for operation in three-phase circuits. Also, the three resistor groups can be connected together for
operation in single-phase circuits.
The Resistive Load is commonly used in conjunction with other basic load modules, like the Inductive Load,
Model 8321, and the Capacitive Load, Model 8331, to experiment with the effects of different types of load on a
circuit.

However, the color of the banana jacks
and the arrangement of the load
element switches are identical to
those of a Resistive Load, Model
8311-0A (240/415 V – 50 Hz).

Inductive Load
8321-0A
The Inductive Load consists of a half-
size EMS module housing nine iron-
core power inductors arranged in three
identical groups. Each group consists
of three inductors connected in
parallel that can be switched on or off
with toggle switches to obtain various
inductance values. This allows the
equivalent inductance of each group
to be increased or decreased by steps. Six safety banana jacks on the module front panel provide access to
each inductor group. The three inductor groups can be connected separately for operation in three-phase
circuits. Also, the three inductor groups can be connected together for operation in single-phase circuits.
A permanently-connected discharge resistor reduces the voltage across the terminals of each group of
capacitors to 5% of the applied voltage within 15 seconds after the load is disconnected from the supply. The
Capacitive Load may be used with both dc and ac power.

Capacitive Load
8331-0A
The Capacitive Load consists of a half-
size EMS module housing nine
capacitors arranged in three identical
groups. Each group consists of three
capacitors connected in parallel that
can be switched on or off with toggle
switches to obtain various capacitance
values. This allows the equivalent
capacitance of each group to be increased or decreased by steps. Six safety banana jacks on the module front
panel provide access to each capacitor group. The three capacitor groups can be connected separately for
operation in three-phase circuits. Also, the three capacitor groups can be connected together for operation in
single-phase circuits.
A permanently-connected discharge resistor reduces the voltage across the terminals of each group of
capacitors to 5% of the applied voltage within 15 seconds after the load is disconnected from the supply. The
Capacitive Load may be used with both dc and ac power.
The Capacitive Load is commonly used in conjunction with the other basic load modules, the Resistive Load,
Model 8311, and the Inductive Load, Model 8321, to experiment with the effects of different types of load on a
circuit.

Mobile Workstation (Optional)
8110-20
The Mobile Workstation is a ready-for-
use workstation that consists of two
fully assembled modules: a
Workstation, Model 8134-2, mounted
on a Mobile Storage Cabinet, Model
89117-1. Four rubber-tire swivel
casters allow easy movement of the
workstation in the laboratory
classroom. The lower portion of the
workstation serves as a storage
cabinet with two hinged panels and a
lock handle. Immediately above the
storage cabinet is a pullout work
surface with a scuff- and burn-
resistant laminate finish. The upper
portion of the workstation consists of
three rows of compartments designed
to house EMS modules. Two of these
rows have full-height compartments while the other row has half-height compartments. Each row of full-height
compartments can accommodate up to three full-size EMS modules or six half-size EMS modules, whereas the
row of half-height compartments can accommodate up to three half-size EMS modules.

Module Installation
The EMS modules are guided into position along stainless steel guide rails. Separators between each bay of the
workstation ensure perfect alignment of the EMS modules and allow their easy insertion in the workstation. A
holding mechanism ensures that each EMS module stays in place once it is installed in a compartment of the
workstation. Front-mounted push levers allow all EMS modules on a single row to be released for easy removal.

DC Motor / Generator (Optional)

8211-00
The DC Motor / Generator is a dc
machine mounted in a full-size EMS
module. It can operate independently
as a dc motor or a dc generator. The
armature, shunt field, and series field
windings are terminated separately on
the faceplate to permit long and short
shunt as well as cumulatively and
differentially compounded motor and
generator connections. This machine
is fitted with exposed movable
brushes to allow students to study the
effect of armature reaction and
commutation while the machine is operating under load.
An independent, circuit-breaker protected, shunt-field rheostat is mounted on the faceplate for motor speed
control or generator output voltage adjustment. The speed of the DC Motor/Generator can be controlled using
the Thyristor Speed Controller in both the open-loop and closed-loop modes of control.

allow students to examine their
construction and observe their
operation. The switch, the starting
auxiliary winding, and the main
running winding are all independently
terminated and identified on the
faceplate to facilitate experimentation
of various machine connections,
including open- and short-circuit fault conditions. The starting winding is circuit breaker protected against
overloads. Because of the open bell housing construction, students can compare the relative size, position, and
turns of the starting winding and the main running winding. An externally mounted starting capacitor is also
independently terminated and identified on the faceplate to permit experimentation as a split-phase or a
capacitor-start single-phase induction motor.

Resistive Load (Optional)

8311-00
The Resistive Load consists of a half-
size EMS module housing nine wire-
wound power resistors arranged in
three identical groups. Each group
consists of three resistors connected
in parallel that can be switched on or
off with toggle switches to obtain
various resistance values. This allows
the total (equivalent) resistance of each group to be increased or decreased by steps. Six safety banana jacks
on the module front panel provide access to each resistor group. The three resistor groups can be connected
separately for operation in three-phase circuits. Also, the three resistor groups can be connected together for
operation in single-phase circuits.
The Resistive Load is commonly used in conjunction with other basic load modules, like the Inductive Load,
Model 8321, and the Capacitive Load, Model 8331, to experiment with the effects of different types of load on a
circuit.

breaker common to every section. If currents flow in other sections, the
available current for the fixed ac three-phase output section decreases. The
variable ac output section and the variable dc output section are protected by a
common set of circuit breakers placed after the fixed ac three-phase output
section, which means that the current capacity has to be shared between the
two sections. For instance, if current of the variable dc output section is at 70%
of its nominal value, current drawn from the variable ac output section should
not exceed 30% of its nominal value. The fixed dc output section is also
protected by circuit breakers placed after the fixed ac three-phase output
section.
