Indar has the most advanced technology in the sector, including an electrical machinery laboratory and test bench, which together with a highly-qualified R+D+i department, enables it to develop its products using in-house technology and to flexibly adapt to the needs of its clients.
All information obtained during the standard and type tests is centralised and managed by an IT (Information Technology) system which collects the parameters studied during the tests so that real instant readings can be obtained on the functioning of the generators. This makes it possible to gain a detailed understanding of the machine and its behaviour in all conditions, previously established depending on the working specifications and conditions required by the client.
The results obtained during tests are the basis for a process of optimisation, validation and adaptation of INDAR products to different applications and working conditions.
The validation of new, custom-made designs as well as the standard ranges is systematically undertaken using Indar's test bench which has the capacity to carry out different tests on several devices at the same time.
Its main features are as follows:
- 200m2 installation raised on a floor with a seismic mass of 1600 t.
- Total lifting capacity (by cranes) of up to 126 t.
- Tests at full load up to 8 MW.
- Back to back configuration up to 65 MW.
- Testing capacity in LVRT (Low Voltage Ride Through).
- Thermal insulation and electrical combined tests.
- Auto-generated mains of 50/60 Hz to 20 MVA.
- Climatic chamber (-30ºC to 80ºC) for extreme environmental conditions.
