Noise, vibration and harshness on a permanent magnet synchronous motor for a remote laboratory

Abstract

The study of Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH) is becoming a key element when it comes to design and maintain a system that have rotatory elements. The understanding of the source of the vibrations can lead to a way of mitigating them, thus ensuring a better operation and expanding the life of the components. In this work, an analysis of the vibrations’ frequency spectra of an electric drive is developed, extracting some conclusions from it and deducing a source. The possibility of operating this system remotely makes it a perfect experiment for a remote lab, operating through Internet, being a novelty for this kind of studies.
