Whn a stp input in currnt is applid to th motor winding, th chart rcordr will plot th rat of chang of th motor shaft vlocity as a function of th tachomtr output voltag. h tachomtr calibration can b usd to convrt volts to rpm. h acclration is thor th chang in vlocity for th linar part of th ponntial curv dividd by th tim lapsd for th dtctd rat of chang in vlocity. h rsulting calculation of th acclration must hav th dimnsions changd to b in units of rad/sc^. ORQUE- An ammtr must b insrtd in sris with th motor input winding. Whn th stp in input currnt is applid to th motor input, th maimum valu of currnt 3

BLDC MOORS- h tsts dscribd thus far must b modifid for a bldc motor. A bldc motor must b tstd with its srvo amplifir. h stp input will b a stp in dc voltag to th srvo amplifir input. h voltag stp should b larg nough to caus th motor to rach ratd spd. With bldc motors it is not possibl to masur th high frquncy phas currnt in a WYE connctd motor. hus som othr procdur must b usd to masur th currnt or torqu and vlocity. Commrcial bldc srvo amplifirs hav two dc output tst points. On output is a dc voltag proportional to vlocity with a givn calibration. h voltag can b dirctly connctd to a strip chart as dscribd prviously to masur th motor acclration, A scond tst output provids a dc voltag proportional to torqu or a prcntag of ratd torqu. his calibratd voltag can also b rcordd with a stripchart rcordr to obsrv its maimum valu for a stp voltag input to th srvo amplifir. h inrtia can thus b calculatd as don prviously. MOOR INDUCANCE L o masur th motor inductanc us a low voltag ac sourc to th motor winding. For a dc motor, apply th ac voltag to th armatur winding. For a BLDC motor apply th ac voltag to on pair of th thr wirs. In both cass masur th voltag and th currnt. Rmmbr that th BLDC motor is usually connctd in WYE. hus th radings will b lin-to-lin. You want th phas valus for th voltag, so divid th voltag by. h impdanc of th BLDC motor phas winding is thn- [ volts [ amps phas voltag Im pdanc [ ohms lin currnt h impdanc racc tan c + rsis tan c [ ohms Rac tan c [ var s impdanc rsis tan c Solv for th ractanc from this quation.
