Electronic load to substitute for motor
Electronic load to substitute for motor
(OP)
We test the electrical controls for our winches by actually connecting the controls to the winch and loading the winch. I'd like to use a programable electronic load in place of the winch. To simulate the on/of transients of the winch's motor the electronic load would ideally have a programable inductance, resistance, back emf generator and noise supply (for motor commutation noise simulation). I'm guessing there aren't any electronic loads out there that would do this. Any ideas?

The other somewhat simple system if you are speaking of smaller loads is to use 2 motors coupled together, the 2nd one connevcted to a variable speed drive so it can act as a varuialbe load against the test system. Search for the term "dynomometer" for reasources on building or buying one.
