  1. Senior Design P13472 Final Presentation – Change of Resistance Test Stand Colin Payne-Rogers Jacob Lennox Dr. Benjamin Varela (guide) Cooper Crouse-Hinds (sponsor)

  2. Project Description Prototype Change of Resistance Test Stand: measure multiple coil temperatures via 4-wire resistance measurements and a linear regression Test Control: via Labview interfaced with a PXI system including two 16-channel switches and one digital multimeter Deliverables: one relay box for metering and power control, configured NI PXI system for control and Dell Laptop as a user interface

  3. Customer Needs, System • Design Interface Relay Circuit  • Operate in the 120-600 VAC range  • Connect using 2-Pin Amphenol cable  • Select, Purchase Multimeter  • Resolution of 0.01Ohm  • Able to be calibrated  • Select, Purchase Data Acquisition System  • Incorporate a thermocouple  • The design must comply with UL844  • The multimeter is of the correct resolution and the linear regression and formula advised by the standard are the same • System contained in a rolling enclosure 

  4. Customer Needs, Labview • Communicate with the measurement hardware • Measure up to 6 coils in any combination  • First stabilized measurement within 5s ~ • Readings taken one at a time, 40 in 30s  • Plot resistance versus time for each coil  • Make a linear regression of the data and calculate the steady state coil • Store the data in 9 portable files ~ • Operator can input time, date, material  • Time and date taken from Labview • Functions: pre-run test, auto-test, view results, print results and terminate

  6. Budget - Planned

  7. Budget – Actual

  8. Design Summary • Power Control Circuit • 12 user inputs • Connection to Labview switch • Measurement Control Circuit (inputs) • 12 user inputs • Labview connection not shown • “Splitting” Terminal Block • Split for measurement • Two NI Switches • Channel connections shown • “Multimeter” Terminal Block • Multimeter – connections shown (hi, low, etc.)

  9. Power Control Circuit Inputs 13-24 arefrom the ballast. 25 and 26 are120VAC inputs. NI Switch Connections

  10. Measurement Control, Splitting Inputs 1-12 arefrom ballast. To NI Switches Connection topower and NIswitchingshown in thePower ControlCircuit

  12. NI Switches, Multimeter Terminal

  13. System Testing Results • All relay box connections active • 6 “coils” (known resistors) were connected to the relay box and measured with the multimeter 4-wire measurement to ensure all connections were working properly and no internal resistance was found • Labview code troubleshooting • “NaN” value removal, timing adjustments, etc. • Complete ballast test at steady state using Labview to run the test and to obtain the results (see next slide)

  14. Steady State Temperature

  15. Successes, Incomplete, Future Work • Success • Purchasing multimeter, laptop, data acquisition software • Creating Labview code • Running a successful test at 120VAC • Incomplete • Rolling enclosure, Amphenol cable • Future Work • Contain the test in a rolling enclosure • Run a test at 600 VAC • After double-checking code and switches to make sure Labview components will never see the volts • Convert small gaged wire connecting PXI to relay box into an Amphenol cable • Staging the ballast power with a secondary set of relays
