Abstract:

A test program is outlined for variable frequency power conditioners for 3-phase induction motors in vehicle propulsion applications. The Power Conditioner Unit (PCU) performance characteristics are discussed in some detail. Measurement methods, recording techniques and data presentation are given, which should yield a broad set of performance data common to most PCU designs of this type. Measurements of component electrical and temperature stresses are included. These measurements are regarded as essential for a meaningful evaluation and for formulating estimates of peak power capability and specific power (kVA/lb). A limited test program of the RFI/EMI characteristics of the PCU is also discussed, as are tests of special characteristics such as reliability and failure modes.
