Electric Drives & Automation Laboratory

General information about the Laboratory: The objective of this laboratory is to prepare students and to give advanced ideas of Electric Drives with Automation, PLC, and SCADA. Chopper-fed, Converter fed and cycloconverter-fed different types of motor control (open loop and closed loop) are available for the experiment purpose. Software study tools are also available such that students can relate them with software and hardware both. Special tool kits are also available for different types of braking studies
