Hi All,
I am setting up a Drive test bench in my factory and I am planning for regenerative drive sytem.
Basically my idea is to couple shafts of 2 motors (test motor and load motors). For a test motor I will use AB Power Flex drive and the load motor which generates power back to bus will be ABB ACS 800-11 drive. This drive has active filters which feeds the power back to bus.
I am not sure of my setup as I have not worked much with drives. Here is my setup idea:
Motor shafts will be connected directly with shaft coupler.
To load the test motor first I will start test motor drive (running in forward direction).
Load motor drive will remain stopped.
Once the test motor is at full speed at full load (i.e load motor is not running) then a start command and speed reference (reverse direction direction) is given to load motor, which will assist the test motor.
By giving different speed references to load motor drive I can load the test motor.
Please give me your feedback for this setup.
With zero speed reference of load motor drive I should be able to get power back from ACS800-11 DRIVE to BUS. Am I right here? Or do I need any extra setup?
