Hello everyone,
I'd like to know how "test position" is implemented on electric drives. I know that when engineering motor drives such as fans, pumps and similar, to test control and protection logic, many put the motor in test position first, which means that there is indication that motor is ready to be started and similar, while it is not starting in reality. Basicaly, the DCS system sees that pump is ready and it can be started (not in reality), all protections are tested, and then, motor is started in reality and there is the real test.
I wonder if you heard of this and especially how this is implemented. These test positions exist mainly with motors of high power (6 kV voltage or more).
Can you suggest links to learn more?
Thanks.
