DC Motor Power Supply BT415
The BT415 DC motor power supply by MCP is a laboratory-grade power source designed for driving and testing DC motors. It provides a stable 220 V DC excitation output and a variable 0–220 V DC armature output, enabling precise control of motor speed and torque in laboratory or training environments.
Overview
This power supply unit converts 220 V AC mains into regulated DC outputs suitable for educational test benches and motor control experiments. The fixed excitation output supplies the motor field winding, while the adjustable armature voltage controls speed and direction. Front panel 4 mm safety terminals ensure secure connection to the motor or test setup.
Key Features
- Dual DC outputs: fixed excitation and adjustable armature supply
- Adjustable output range: 0–220 V DC / 7 A (armature)
- Fixed excitation output: 220 V DC / 1 A
- Input power: 220 V AC, 50 Hz
- Compact, robust design suitable for laboratory and didactic use
- 4 mm safety sockets for quick motor connection
Applications
- DC motor control and speed regulation experiments
- Laboratory test benches for educational or R&D purposes
- Power supply for DC drives and field excitation
- Teaching of motor principles, armature control and excitation circuits
Operation Notes
- Ensure the armature voltage knob is at zero before energizing the supply.
- Connect excitation and armature terminals according to the motor specifications.
- Do not exceed rated current to prevent winding overheating.
- Use only in dry, ventilated environments on insulated surfaces.
Compatibility
The BT415 is compatible with all MCP DC motors from 150 W to 1000 W, including laboratory sets with tachogenerator and torque measuring systems (TG Series, TSP Series).
Summary
The BT415 DC motor power supply provides fixed excitation and variable armature voltage for accurate motor control in educational and test setups. Compact, reliable, and safe, it is ideal for experiments involving DC motor speed, torque, and performance analysis.
