Type 5255 Four-Quadrant Drive

The Type 5255 Four-Quadrant Drive is a teaching and learning unit for speed control and speed regulation of DC shunt-wound machines. It supports circulating-current and non-circulating-current operation, includes built-in current and speed controllers, and can be combined with a separate DC brake unit.

  • Compact construction with short setup times
  • Suitable for DC machines from 100 W to 1 kW
  • Circulating-current and non-circulating-current operation switchable
  • Built-in controllers for current and speed
  • Optical indication of thyristor switching states
  • Test jacks for electrical parameters

Purpose and principle

With the Four-Quadrant Drive, hps SystemTechnik offers a teaching and learning unit for experiments in the field of speed control and speed regulation of DC shunt-wound machines.

Provision is made for recording and displaying all important electrical parameters. Detailed experiment instructions are available for the experiments.

The Four-Quadrant Drive is designed for DC machines up to 1 kW. It can be placed on the desk or mounted in a frame rack.

  • Teaching and learning unit for speed control and speed regulation
  • Suitable for DC shunt-wound machines
  • Desk or frame-rack operation
  • Separate experiment instructions available

DC brake unit and accessories

The DC brake unit is intended for use in drive technology, for example for experiments with a DC shunt-wound machine and the Four-Quadrant Drive. It can be used as a motor and also as a generator.

It consists of a DC shunt-wound machine with integrated DC tachogenerator mounted on a base. The base also serves for mounting and mechanically connecting test machines.
