Whenever possible, each courseis built to bring the student to actual applications as soonas possible. A full-color instructor guide providing all labresults and answers to questions is also included witheach course. Refer to the Course Description section ofthis data sheet for additional information about each ofthe courses in the Smart Grid Technologies TrainingSystem.

Measurement and Instruments

Ease of parameter measurement as well as of voltageand current waveform observation is key to a successfullearning experience. For that purpose, data acquisitionin the Smart Grid Technologies Training System isperformed using the Lab-Volt Data Acquisition andControl Interface (DACI), Model 9063, a highly-versatileUSB peripheral designed for measuring, observing,analyzing, and controlling electrical parameters inelectric power systems and power electronics circuits. Acomplete set of computer-based instruments for theDACI are accessed through the Lab-Volt DataAcquisition and Control for Electromechanical System(LVDAC-EMS) application, a freeware (it can bedownloaded anytime from the Lab-Volt web site –

www.labvolt.com) designed to run on a host computer

operating under the Microsoft Windows® operatingsystem. The following computer-based instruments areavailable:C Metering windowC OscilloscopeC Phasor AnalyzerC Harmonic AnalyzerC Data Table and Graph

These user-friendly instruments are used tomeasure and/or observe numerous parameters such asvoltage, current, electrical power (apparent, active, andreactive), power factor, energy, efficiency, frequency,speed, torque, mechanical power, etc. Note that speedand torque measurements are performed throughsensors loca ted in the Four -QuadrantDynamometer/Power Supply, Model 8960 (described inthe next subsection). The Phasor Analyzer is especiallyuseful when studying three-phase ac power circuits androtating machines as it can display up to six phasors ofvoltages and currents in a three-phase circuit on a singledisplay, thereby providing easy visualisation of thevarious phase relationships in the circuit. The Data Tableand Graph greatly simplify data recording and graphproduction and allow the student to focus on learning thesubject matter instead of performing ancillary tasks.

The leads provided in the Smart Grid Technologies TrainingSystem allow all electrical components to be interconnectedwithout electric shock hazard since all live parts of the plugsare concealed and insulated in such a way that they cannot becontacted accidentally.

1TBE = To be established (contact Lab-Volt Services for availability).

2The Workstation, Model 8134, can be replaced with the Mobile Workstation, Model 8110.

3This supplementary DACI, Model 9063, is necessary when two IGBT Chopper/Inverter or two Power Thyristors need to be controlled in an application. Connected to the same host computer,this supplementary module shares the control function sets activated in the other DACI.
