Power Engineering Lab
Room: FAB 25-00
Access: Badge access only for students in a power engineering course
The Power Engineering Lab provides students the opportunity to work with power systems components, control systems, and measurement equipment. The lab has four three-phase power systems workstations with racks of interchangeable power components, including power supplies, rotating machinery, transformers, and loads. It also has five power systems protection workstations featuring electromechanical relays donated by Portland General Electric and digital relays donated by Schweitzer Engineering Labs. The lab has ten PLC workstations, which students use for term-long projects that focus on designing and building PLC-based controllers for electromechanical power systems.
