The requirements for test benches in industrial electric motor production are constantly increasing. The variety of machines to be tested is growing, and the testing systems must be flexible enough to adapt to different performance ranges and motor types. Against this backdrop, the Spanish manufacturer Vascat faced the challenge of optimizing the motor control performance of its internal test bench environment. The goal was to upgrade an existing system through a retrofit to enable testing of a wider range of motors—from small to very high rated outputs.
