Annual Report 2009 - webfiles its vmware

All employees have modern PC‟s at their office places. There are also manycomputers used for measurement, control of equipment, heavy calculation,machine laboratory work, master thesis work and other tasks. Our two conferencerooms are equipped with data projectors. The data network is 1 Gb/s. Local IT ismanaged by one of the division‟s research engineers.LaboratoriesThe Division laboratories supporttest of electrical systems andcomponents, up to a power levelof about 300 kW.The in-house variable powersources consist of various rotatingconverters, transformers andfrequency converters located inmachine rooms, which areseparated from the laboratories. Inthe laboratories, special outlets forvariable voltage sources arePart of the switch roomavailable. Any source can beconnected to any outlet in any lab. This is achieved by making connections in theseparate switch-room. The voltage sources are controlled through a control box inthe laboratory. The variable power sources can supply AC voltages in the range of0 – 690 V, 4 – 400 Hz and DC voltages in the range of 0 – 690 V. The in-housevariable power source system is also used by the Department of High VoltageEngineering.The laboratories are equipped with solid steel test benches for electrical machinesetup. The largest bench is equipped with a DC machine (178 kW, 6000 rpm) witha torque meter.In addition to the electric power sources there is good instrumentation ofmeasurement modules, oscilloscopes, etc. There are also a great variety ofpassive power components, electrical machines and power electronic equipmentavailable.Connected to the laboratories is a small workshop where test objects and electricalmeasurement equipment can be built.10 |
