2.4 Installation
IMPORTANT:
This section covers only the installation of an AC Motor module on a dynamometer.
Refer the regular system operator’s manual for details on the installation of the dynamometer itself
and the Eddy Current option if applicable. Read the unpacking and inspection instructions in it’s
entirety before installing the dynamometer or any accessories.
The installation involves both mechanical connections and electrical connections.
• The AC Motor module attaches to the roll shaft on the dynamometer chassis but can also be
coupled to an eddy current module to provide even greater testing capability.
• The motor drive unit connects to the AC motor, the resistive load bank (if applicable), and
to the data acquisition system (sensor box).
Consider where the dynamometer will be located. The floor must be level and able to support the
weight of the dynamometer, all add-on options, and the vehicle under test including the operator.
Allow access space on all sides of the dynamometer.
Inspect all crates and boxes for external damage. Be sure to check underneath the crate for possible
forklift damage. Report any damage to the shipping company and SuperFlow Customer Service.
Unpack the equipment and take inventory of all the provided parts. Contact SuperFlow Customer
Service if there are any questions.
