General Description
The Power Electronics Training System combines a modular design approach with computer-based data
acquisition and control to provide unrivaled training in power electronics to students already having a sound
knowledge of basic electric power technology. The system features the Four-Quadrant Dynamometer/Power
Supply and the Data Acquisition and Control Interface, two state-of-the-art USB peripherals that greatly
enhance the learning experience of students.
Training begins with the following four courses:
- DC Power Electronics
- Single-Phase AC Power Electronics
- Three-Phase AC Power Electronics
- Thyristor Power Electronics
These courses introduce the student to the most common power electronic components (power diode, thyristor,
and power transistor) as well as to many power electronic devices used in numerous applications today (power
diode single-phase and three-phase rectifiers, choppers, single-phase and three-phase inverters, thyristor
single-phase and three-phase bridges, solid-state relays or SSRs, and thyristor ac power controllers). Training
continues with the following three courses which deal with common industrial applications using power
electronics:
- DC Motor Drives
- Three-Phase Motor Drives
- Three-Phase Induction Motor Starters
The following two courses from the Electric Power Technology Training Program, can be optionally added to the
Power Electronics Training System to enhance student training in power electronic applications:
- Hydropower Electricity Generation
- High-Voltage DC Transmission Systems
These two courses familiarize the student with the use of hydropower to produce electrical power using
synchronous generators, as well as with the transmission of large amounts of electrical power using high-
voltage, direct-current (HVDC) lines, two advanced applications using thyristor power electronics.
The Power Electronics Training System is part of the Electric Power Technology Training Systems, Series 8010.
Each training system in Series 8010 is based on the Electric Power Technology Training Program and provides a
turn-key solution dealing with some aspects of the wide field of electrical energy. The exhaustive courseware
provided with each training system covers all the theory required to perform the laboratory exercises, while
review questions and unit tests allow students to test the knowledge they have gained.
The Electric Power Technology Training Program is highly modular in both courseware and hardware. Because of
this, courses and equipment from the program are available as required, either individually or in the context of a
specific training system. The program covers several different subjects in the field of electrical energy, such as
rotating machines, electrical power transmission, power electronics, home energy production from renewable
resources (wind and sunlight), large-scale electricity production from hydropower and wind power, smart-grid
technologies (SVC, STATCOM, HVDC transmission, etc.), storage of electrical energy in batteries, and drive
systems for small electric vehicles and cars.

Courseware
Each course in the training system
includes a full-color student manual
providing all the theoretical matter
required, guided lab-exercise
procedures to be performed with the
training equipment, and review
questions that test the knowledge
gained by the student. Whenever
possible, each course is built to bring
the student to actual applications as
soon as possible. A full-color

also included with each course.
Modular Design Approach

The modular approach for designing
the training program and lab
equipment enables instructors to start
building their electrical-energy
laboratory with a basic package of
courses and equipment and add new
courses and equipment over time
without needless duplication of
equipment.
All lab equipment consists of modules
that can be inserted into a
workstation. Module dimensions vary
between two standard EMS sizes: full-size and half-size. Symbols and diagrams representing the electrical
components in each module are clearly silk-screened on the front panel. Standard, color-coded safety banana
jacks are used to provide access to the various components in each module.

Equipment Description
Tabletop Workstation
579484 (8134-20)
The Workstation is a fully assembled workstation that serves the
same purpose as the Mobile Workstation but has no storage
cabinet or pull-out work surface. This workstation is intended for
use on a bench (not supplied) and is fitted with rubber feet to
protect the bench top. Alternatively, this workstation can be
mounted on either a Mobile Storage Cabinet, to make a Mobile
Workstation, or on a Mobile Base, to make a mobile workstation
without storage cabinet. In that case, it is possible to mount and
lock a second Workstation, on top of the first Workstation to
double the space available for EMS modules.
The Workstation consists of three rows of compartments
designed to house EMS modules. Two of these rows have full-
height compartments while the other row has half-height
compartments. Each row of full-height compartments can
accommodate up to three full-size EMS modules or six half-size EMS modules whereas the row of half-height
compartments can accommodate up to three half-size EMS modules.
Module Installation
The EMS modules are guided into position along stainless steel guide rails. Separators between each bay of the
workstation ensure perfect alignment of the EMS modules and allow their easy insertion in the workstation. A
holding mechanism ensures that each EMS module stays in place once it is installed in a compartment of the
workstation. Front-mounted push levers allow all EMS modules on a single row to be released for easy removal.
© Festo Didactic 10
Safety Padlock Bars

Two safety padlock bars on the front of the workstation prevent students from removing EMS modules during
laboratory exercises. The bars can be removed and locked to the side of the workstation when the safety lock is
not necessary.
Additional Information
Six holes in the rear panel of the workstation allow connection to a power supply, as well as the connection of 2
kW machines to their interconnection modules. Assembly of the workstation before painting ensures that each
EMS module in the workstation is correctly grounded.

Permanent Magnet DC Motor

8114247 (8213-10)
The Permanent Magnet DC Motor is a high-speed, brushed dc
motor mounted in a full-size EMS module. The magnetic field
required for motor operation is produced by powerful permanent
magnets mounted on the motor stator. Connections to the motor
are made through color-coded safety banana jacks located on
the front panel on the module. Power to the motor must be fed
by an external dc power source. A toggle switch mounted on the
front panel can be used to switch dc power to the motor on and
off when the motor is connected to a battery pack. When driven
by a prime mover, the Permanent Magnet DC Motor operates as
a dc generator.
The front panel of the Permanent Magnet DC Motor module can
be opened to install a Timing Belt on the pulley of the motor
shaft. This permits mechanical coupling of this motor to the
Four-Quadrant Dynamometer/Power Supply. The diameter of the
Permanent Magnet DC Motor pulley is smaller (12 teeth) than
that of the pulleys of the Four-Quadrant Dynamometer/Power Supply (24 teeth). This difference of pulley ratio
(12 to 24) permits adapting the speed (0 4000 r/min) of the Permanent Magnet DC Motor to the speed of the
Four-Quadrant Dynamometer/Power Supply (between 0 2000 r/min).

Four-Pole Squirrel Cage Motor

586267 (8221-20)
The Four-Pole Squirrel-Cage Induction Motor is a 0.2 kW squirrel-
cage induction machine mounted in a full-size EMS module. The
machine stator windings are independently connected (six
jacks), allowing connection in either wye or delta configuration.
Connections to the machine are made through color-coded
safety banana jacks located on the front panel on the module.
The machine has a thermistor output that allows monitoring of
the machine internal temperature to prevent overheating. A
tensioner bearing can be ordered as an option.
The front panel of the Four-Pole Squirrel-Cage Induction Motor
module can be opened to install a Timing Belt on the pulley of
the machine shaft. This permits mechanical coupling of this
machine to the Four-Quadrant Dynamometer/Power Supply.

Resistive Load
763359 (8311-00)
The Resistive Load consists of a module housing nine wire-
wound power resistors arranged in three identical banks. Each
bank consists of three resistors connected in parallel that can be
switched on or off with toggle switches to obtain various
resistance values. This allows the total (equivalent) resistance of
each bank to be increased or decreased by steps. Six safety
banana jacks on the module front panel provide access to each
resistor bank. The three resistor banks can be connected
separately for operation in three-phase circuits. Also, the three
resistor banks can be connected together for operation in single-phase circuits.

The Resistive Load is commonly used in conjunction with other basic load modules, like the Inductive Load and
the Capacitive Load to experiment with the effects of different types of loads on a circuit.

Capacitive Load
763366 (8331-00)
The Capacitive Load consists of a module housing nine
capacitors arranged in three identical banks. Each bank consists
of three capacitors connected in parallel that can be switched on
or off with toggle switches to obtain various capacitance values.
This allows the equivalent capacitance of each bank to be
increased or decreased by steps. Six safety banana jacks on the
module front panel provide access to each capacitor bank. The
three capacitor banks can be connected separately for operation
in three-phase circuits. Also, the three capacitor banks can be
connected together for operation in single-phase circuits.
A permanently connected discharge resistor reduces the voltage across the terminals of each bank of capacitors
to 5% of the applied voltage within 25 seconds after the load is disconnected from the supply. The Capacitive
Load may be used with both dc and ac power.
The Capacitive Load is commonly used in conjunction with the other basic load modules, the Resistive Load and
the Inductive Load to experiment with the effects of different types of loads on a circuit.

IGBT Chopper/Inverter
579623 (8837-B0)
The IGBT Chopper/Inverter module consists of seven insulated-
gate bipolar transistors (IGBT) mounted in a half-size EMS
module. Six IGBTs are used to implement choppers and
inverters. These IGBTs are protected against a variety of
abnormal operating conditions, such as short-circuits,
overvoltage, overcurrent, and overheat. The seventh IGBT and a
dumping resistor allow smooth dissipation of excess energy at
the dc bus. The dumping circuit can be activated through the use
of a toggle switch on the front panel.
The module switching control section allows 0/5 V pulse signals from either the Data Acquisition and Control
Interface, Model 9063, the Chopper/Inverter Control Unit, Model 9029, or any compatible 0/5 V control unit, to
be applied to the gating circuits of the IGBTs. The signals are input in the IGBT Chopper/Inverter module
through a nine-pin connector.
Six miniature banana jacks can be used as test points to monitor the pulse signals using an oscilloscope. These
jacks can also be used to inject 0/5 V pulse signals from an alternate control unit, as well as to inhibit each
gating circuit. The IGBT Chopper/Inverter module also includes a synchronization output to trigger an
oscilloscope when observing the switching control signals, as well as a switching control disable input that
allows all six IGBTs in the chopper/inverter section to be switched off.

Power Thyristors
763376 (8841-20)
The Power Thyristors module consists of six power thyristors
(SCRs) mounted in a half-size EMS enclosure. Each individual
thyristor is protected against overcurrents and short-circuits. All
the anodes and cathodes of the thyristors are terminated on the
front panel by color-coded, 4 mm safety banana jacks. To reduce
the number of external connections, the most typical thyristor
configurations can be achieved through the use of two toggle
switches on the front panel.
A firing control section allows six 0-5 V pulse signals from either
the Data Acquisition and Control Interface, Model 9063, the Thyristor Firing Unit, Model 9030, or any compatible
0-5 V control unit, to be applied to the gating circuits of the thyristors. The signals are input in the Power
Thyristors module through a nine-pin connector.
Six miniature banana jacks in this section are used as test points to monitor the firing control signals using an
oscilloscope. They can also be used to inject 0-5 V pulse signals from an alternate firing unit, as well as to
inhibit each gating circuit. The Power Thyristors module also includes a synchronization output to trigger an
oscilloscope when observing the firing control signals as well as a firing control disable input that prevents all
six power thyristors from being fired.

versatile USB peripheral designed to be used in the Electric
Power Technology Training Systems. Two operating modes are
available: Dynamometer and Power Supply. A wide variety of
user-selectable functions is available in each operating mode.
In the Dynamometer mode, the unit becomes a four-quadrant
dynamometer that can act as either a fully configurable brake
(i.e., a mechanical load) or a fully configurable prime mover (i.e.,
a motor drive). In the Power Supply mode, the unit becomes a
four-quadrant power supply that can act as a dc voltage source,
dc current source, ac power source, etc.
In each operating mode, key parameters related to the selected
function are displayed. Speed, torque, mechanical power, and energy are displayed in the Dynamometer mode
while voltage, current, electrical power, and energy are displayed in the Power Supply mode. Optional functions,
such as a small wind-turbine emulator, a hydraulic turbine emulator, a solar panel emulator, battery chargers,
an SDK (Software Development Kit) etc., can be added to the standard functions to further enhance the training
possibilities of the Four-Quadrant Dynamometer/Power Supply.
Two modes are available to control the function which the Four-Quadrant Dynamometer/Power Supply
performs: Manual and Computer-Based.
In the Manual control mode, the module operates as a stand-alone unit, and the function performed is selected,
set, and monitored using front-panel mounted controls and display. This mode provides access to all basic
functions. In the Computer-Based control mode, the function performed by the module is selected, set, and
monitored using the LVDAC-EMS software. In this mode, communication between the Four-Quadrant
Dynamometer/Power Supply and the host computer running the LVDAC-EMS software is achieved through a
USB connection. This mode provides access to all basic functions, as well as to additional advanced functions.
Includes the Four-Quadrant Dynamometer/Power Supply with the following function sets activated:
- Standard Functions (Manual Control)
- Standard Functions (Computer-Based Control)
- Lead-Acid Battery Charger
The Four-Quadrant Dynamometer/Power Supply is powered from a standard wall receptacle via a line cord that
connects to the module’s front panel. The module helps energy conservation by returning the mechanical or
electrical energy it receives to the ac power network while maintaining a unity power factor.

Lead-Acid Battery Charger Function Set

581438 (8968-40)
The Lead-Acid Battery Charger Function Set is a
package of control functions that can be activated in
the Four-Quadrant Dynamometer/Power Supply,
enabling the module to implement a lead-acid battery
charger, as well as a battery discharger.
The Lead-Acid Battery Charger control function is only
available in computer-based mode. This means that the
function performed by the Four-Quadrant
Dynamometer/Power Supply is selected, set, and
monitored using the LVDAC-EMS software. The
following control functions are available in the set:
- Lead-Acid Battery Charger (Fast):
This function uses the four-quadrant power supply to implement a battery charger that is able to rapidly charge
lead-acid batteries of various capacities (typically in less than two hours). A three-step charge algorithm is
used. Battery charging starts with a constant current corresponding to the battery maximum charge current
until the battery gassing voltage is reached. At this point, battery charging continues with a constant voltage
(close to gassing voltage) until the charge current decreases to 0.1 C. Then, constant-voltage charging
continues but at a lower voltage (float charging voltage). The user has to specify the following four battery
characteristics for the charger to achieve proper charge control: maximum charge current, gassing voltage, 0.1C
current (10% of battery capacity), and float charging voltage. The function indicates the voltage, current,
electrical power, and energy at the charger output. The function can also indicate battery temperature when the
temperature sensor of the battery (if so equipped) is connected to the Thermistor Input of the Four-Quadrant
Dynamometer/Power Supply. The function can also indicate battery temperature when the temperature sensor
of the battery (if so equipped) is connected to the Thermistor Input of the Four-Quadrant Dynamometer/Power
Supply. The license for the Lead-Acid Battery Charger, is required to activate the Lead-Acid Battery Charger
(Fast) function in the Four-Quadrant Dynamometer/Power Supply.
- Battery Discharger (Constant-Current Timed Discharge with Voltage Cutoff ):
This function uses the four-quadrant power supply to sink a constant current from a battery, thereby discharging
the battery at a specific rate, during a specific period. The discharger also monitors the battery voltage during
discharge. Battery discharging terminates immediately when the battery voltage decreases to a specific cutoff
voltage. The user has to specify the discharge current, discharge duration, and cutoff voltage for the discharger
to achieve proper discharge control. The function indicates the voltage, current, electrical power, and energy at
the discharger output. The function can also indicate battery temperature when the temperature sensor of the
battery (if so equipped) is connected to the Thermistor Input of the Four-Quadrant Dynamometer/Power Supply.
The Battery Discharger function is perfectly suited to measure discharge characteristics of batteries at various
rates as well as to bring a battery to a specific depth of discharge before a battery charging experiment. The
license for the Lead-Acid Battery Charger, or the license for the Ni-MH Battery Chargers, is required to activate
the Battery Discharger (Constant-Current Timed Discharge with Voltage Cutoff ) function in the Four-Quadrant
Dynamometer/Power Supply.

Electromechanical Systems Simulation Software (LVSIM®-EMS) - 1 User Online, 1 year (Optional)

586971 (8972-00)
The Electromechanical Systems Simulation Software
(LVSIM®-EMS) is a simulation software that covers the same
courseware as the following systems:
• Computer-Assisted 0.2 kW Electromechanical Training System,

Model 8006-1
• DC and AC Power Circuits Training System, Model 8010-1
• Electromechanical Training System, Model 8010-9
• AC Power Transmission Training System, Model 8010-B
All workbooks parts of the systems above are available in the

navigation menu of LVSIM-EMS for online consultation. To
obtain the printing rights, Campus Licenses for each are
available and must be ordered separately.
With LVSIM-EMS, all the standard EMS laboratory equipment is replaced by images of the actual EMS modules
that students can manipulate on the computer screen. Students can identify and set up equipment for a given
exercise, make the necessary connections between the virtual EMS modules, and verify the connections made
without the need for actual EMS equipment.
Sophisticated mathematical models fully simulate the electrical and mechanical characteristics of all the actual
EMS modules: power supplies, motors, generators, transformers, electrical and mechanical loads, etc. All
modules simulated in the LVSIM-EMS software feature the same front panel information as the actual EMS
modules. Short-circuit connections in the virtual equipment setup cause the virtual circuit-breaker protection to
trip. This trip condition is clearly indicated on the virtual EMS modules.
Used either as a complement to the actual EMS laboratory equipment, or as a stand-alone product, LVSIM-EMS
is a cost-effective tool that enables students to perform the same exercises as in the courseware of the above-
mentioned training systems. When used as a stand-alone package, the LVSIM-EMS software allows students to
perform hands-on activities related to electrical power and machines, including active, reactive, and apparent
power, phasors, ac/dc motors and generators, three-phase circuits, and transformers.
LVSIM-EMS is a web-browser based application available in three different configurations. The simulation
software can either be installed locally on a Windows® personal computer (local version), on a Windows server
(network version), or accessed directly online through the labvolt.com website at lvsim.labvolt.com (online
version). Both network and local versions are delivered with perpetual license for the current version. The online
version is delivered as a annual license with possibility to expand for more years.
Please visit https://lvsim.labvolt.com and try the online version!
Virtual Instrumentation
LVSIM-EMS comprises a set of conventional and specialized instruments that can be used for measuring,
observing, and analyzing electrical and mechanical parameters in electric power systems and power electronic
circuits. Each instrument appears as a window on the computer screen. The conventional instruments include
ac/dc voltmeters and ammeters, power meters, and an eight-channel oscilloscope. The specialized instruments
include a six-channel phasor analyzer, a harmonic analyzer, torque, speed, and mechanical power meters, and
user-programmable meters. The software is also provided with data-recording and graph-plotting capabilities.
The various instruments are briefly described in the next section of this datasheet.
Metering Window
The Metering window displays up to
eighteen meters, which can be
configured individually for measuring
ac/dc voltage and current, electrical
power (active, reactive, and apparent),
torque, speed, mechanical power, etc.
The voltage and current meters have
several modes of operation that allow
measurement of the mean (dc) value,
RMS value, crest factor, RMS value of a
particular harmonic (up to the 15th
value), RMS value of the harmonics, and total harmonic distortion (THD). Six of the eighteen meters are user-
programmable and give access to a larger variety of functions for measurement of power factor, efficiency,
impedance, frequency, energy, phase shift, etc. The layout of the meters in the Metering window is user-
customizable.
Oscilloscope
The Oscilloscope displays up to eight
waveforms simultaneously, each of a
different color for easy identification.
Each channel has independent vertical
controls similar to those found on
conventional oscilloscopes. An
automatic scale-setting function
allows the sensitivity of each channel
to be set automatically according to
the magnitude of the observed
parameter. The time base and trigger
controls are similar to those found on
most oscilloscopes. The RMS value,
average value, and frequency of each
observed parameters can be displayed
in the Oscilloscope window. Two vertical cursors can be activated to perform precise measurements at
particular points on the displayed waveforms. The Oscilloscope toolbar includes two memory buttons for saving
displayed waveforms.
Phasor Analyzer
The Phasor Analyzer displays the
phasors related to the measured
voltages and currents. The amplitude
and phase angle of each voltage and
current is clearly represented by the
orientation and length of their
corresponding phasors, allowing easy
comparison between the displayed
parameters. This produces a unique
and dynamic display of the voltages
and currents in a circuit (especially in
three-phase circuits) that cannot be
obtained with conventional
instruments. The RMS value, phase angle, and frequency of the voltage or current related to each phasor is
displayed in the Phasor Analyzer window.
Harmonic Analyzer
The Harmonic Analyzer allows
observation and analysis of the
harmonic components in the
measured voltages and currents. The
fundamental frequency can be
manually set to the ac power network
frequency or automatically set to the
frequency of the fundamental
component of the selected voltage or
current. The harmonic components of
the selected voltage or current can be
displayed using a vertical scale
graduated in either absolute or relative values. A group of data displays in the Harmonic Analyzer indicates the
values of the dc component of the selected voltage or current, as well as the total harmonic distortion (THD).
Vertical and horizontal cursors can be displayed to perform precise measurements at particular points on the
display. Since the equipment simulated by LVSIM-EMS produces only dc and sinusoidal ac signals (without
harmonics), the Harmonic Analyzer, which is intended for use with devices that produce harmonics, is not often
used with LVSIM-EMS.
Data Table and Graph Windows

The values indicated by the various
meters in the Metering window, as
well as values measured by the other
instruments, can be recorded in the
Data Table window with a click of the
mouse. The values recorded in the
Data Table can be saved to a file
(ASCII-formatted file). The recorded
data can also be used to plot graphs
by selecting which parameter(s) to
plot in the Graph window. This allows
lab results to be plotted quickly and
easily. More sophisticated graphs can
be created by exporting the contents
of the Data Table window to any
spreadsheet program, such as
Microsoft Excel®, directly through the Windows Clipboard.
Software Protection and Licensing

The local and network version provides a perpetual licence and the online access version provides a annual
licence (additional years can be purchased when ordering).
The local and network version of LVSIM-EMS are copy-protected by means of a hardlock security device. When
LVSIM-EMS detects the security device, students have complete access to all measuring functions of the virtual
instruments and other protected features of LVSIM-EMS, as well as to the student manuals included with the
simulation software. Note that students are allowed to copy the software onto their personal computer to allow
them to prepare laboratories in advance.
Two different security devices are available for LVSIM-EMS: a single-user hardlock key, which can be inserted in
the USB port of the user's computer, and a multiple-user hardlock key, which can be inserted in the USB port of
the network server or any computer in the same network. Once the hardlock key is active on the network, the
other computer will see the available licences. Alternately, the multiple-user hardlock key can be inserted in a
USB port inside the server using a circuit board with edge-type connector (provided with the key) that can be
installed in a PCI expansion slot of the server.
The multiple-user hardlock key can be installed in servers running under one of the following Microsoft®
operating systems: Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, Windows 2008 Server, and Windows 2013 Server. As
its name indicates, the multiple-user hardlock key allows several users of a network to run LVSIM-EMS
simultaneously. Different versions of LVSIM-EMS are available, each allowing a particular number of users.
Online Edition
The online version of LVSIM-EMS is accessible directly via the internet, and requires no software installation nor
any update since the latest version of the software is always available. The online version of LVSIM-EMS also
includes a demo mode that allows students to prepare laboratories in advance by familiarizing with the
equipment and connections. The demo mode does not require any login.

SCADA for LVDAC-EMS (Optional)

8094377 (8973-00)
Education in electrical engineering at Festo Didactic is largely
based on our unique electric power technology training
platform, which combines hardware, software, and courseware
to allow study of electrical energy.
At the heart of the systems are the data acquisition and control
interface (DACI) and the four-quadrant dynamometer/power
supply. When used in combination with LVDAC-EMS software
program, students have access to a complete set of computer-
based instruments to measure, observe, analyze, and control
electrical and mechanical parameters of a workstation on their
computers.
Our state-of-the-art training platform has just been enhanced through the integration of a new SCADA-EMS
feature, a software program designed to run in combination with LVDAC-EMS. SCADA-EMS transforms LVDAC-
EMS and the workstation’s computer into a local workstation that can be monitored and controlled over a local
network from a supervisory computer. Using the OPC Server protocol, SCADA-EMS enables users to design their
own interface by calling the different applications running on the local workstations.
SCADA-EMS enhances LVDAC-EMS by adding several new features. You will be able to:
- Collect data from local workstations.
- Observe and control one or more stations from one or more supervisory stations.
- Remotely control several applications in your lab.
- Use a workstation in a different room to make real demonstrations over the network in your classroom without
having to bring your workstation to class.
- Introduce students to the fundamentals of SCADA in a smart grid context.
- Recreate a complete grid with several different applications running.
The SCADA-EMS software program can be downloaded from our website. This locked version can be unlocked
by a USB dongle. A dongle unlocks five workstations; order as many dongles as required.
Before ordering the dongles, please install:
- LVDAC-EMS (version 3.19 or later) on all your workstation computers.
- SCADA-EMS (1.01 or later) on the workstation computers you want to use to build up your SCADA application.
Contact your sales representative about order details and options.
LVDAC-EMS
The LVDAC-EMS software is a freeware which can be downloaded anytime from the Festo Didactic website
