The MAE-AWD-500-AC/EC-LEGACY-BG chassis dynamometer was a custom-built piece of testing equipment to meet the school’s requirements for research into electric vehicles, including BEV, PHEV, and FCEV, the company said.
Some of the features and benefits of the MAE-AWD-500-AC/EC-LEGACY-BG dynamometer are:
- Mechanically-linked AWD Design
- Multiple AC Motor & EC PAU Size Combinations
- Regeneration Testing with AC Motor
- Emissions & Hybrid Development
- Calibration & Certification
- Precision Inertia Simulation
- ABS Braking/ESC Skid Simulation
- Thermal Imaging & Vibration Analysis
- Battery Power Measurement Available
- SAE J2264 Road Load Derivations Compliant within +/-3-lbs nominal
- Customizable software, data acquisition package
“MAE continues to supply dynamometers for both research and development of electric vehicles and also for the education market and University of Windsor is both of these,” said David Ganzhorn, VP of sales at Mustang Advanced Engineering. “And the school is getting the benefits of a certification grade chassis dynamometer at the fraction of the price.”
