All turbines are tested for their mechanical and thermodynamic behavior.
The main requirements for this type of testing are:
- Acquisition of hundreds of measurement channels in the kHz range
- Galvanic isolation up to 1200 V
- Signal Conditioning
- Robustness and modularity
- Synchronized recording of all channels
- Measurement system can be synchronized to an external time reference
(NTP or IRIG)
