Motor Dynamometer

In 2016 I built an electric motor dynamometer - a device for characterizing the performance of electric motors and motor controllers



The dynamometer is controlled by a Python and QT-based interface which provides manual control of the torque, speed, voltage, and current, simulates loads, or runs through sequences of test points.
The dyno lets me characterize electric motors to generate useful data like efficiency maps:
