Programowalny układ obciążenia dla maszyn prądu stałego

Presented paper gives an overview of the design process of a programmable power electronic load system. The main aim of the proposed structure is a controllable current/power consumption of a direct current machine, which is a common load simulator in case of electrical machine test stand construction. The main task of designed system is the usage convenience and programmability in case of typical load profiles (fan, pump, lift). The design phase is described shortly after a brief overview of existing concepts and their main characteristics. Main digital control system is depicted with a stand-alone user's interface.
