Conclusion
A permanent magnet generator prototype invented by Joe Shepard of Franklin-Thomas Company (FTC) was delivered to Advanced Energy for testing, to determine the efficiency and performance features of the generator. The generator has embedded rectifiers and therefore its output is DC. The machine was tested as a generator and no test in the motoring regime was carried out. The output of the generator was connected to a Load Bank and measurements were performed at varying resistive loads from 5- ohm to 48-ohm.
