Mid-size Electric Motor Propulsion System Testing
Posted: Wed Mar 06, 2019 11:09 am
This is my test stand I use for testing mid-size electric motor systems.
It is very flexible and allows me to test EF1 motors, ESC's, batteries with transmitter control without having to mount the systems in airplanes.
I use it on motors from EF1 up to about .90 c.i. equivalent electric propulsion systems.
IN the photos attached here, I have a motor that I'm using in http://Club40Electric.com Silver and Gold class.
I'm drawing diagrams as it is fully loaded with ESC telemetry, pure RPM telemetry, and GPS (not that it gets moved while running), so that I can make sure the GPS module is set up and working properly when it has a view of the sky.
The drawings will help clarify what is setup and what the monitoring can do.
