Abstract
Laboratory based hands-on classes are essential in electrical engineering education. The market available laboratory equipment for basic training courses in the field of electric drives and automation features mainly low power range. Lack of installations with industry standard rated power components in order of several kilowatts predestined collaboration between Moscow Power Engineering Institute and ABB Russia. As a result, a joint instructional laboratory of electric drives was designed for training both students and industry partners. Itallows to safely conduct experiments with DC, synchronous and induction machines of 5.5kW installed power with a variety of corresponding sensors, power converters, programmable logic controllers, relays and protection devices. This paper deals with design aspects of such a laboratory and illustrates the available functionality for experiment conduction and the corresponding results visualization. The flexibility of the laboratory equipment enables to train various aspects of real mid-power range hardware operation within several disciplines hosting approximately 300 students yearly.
