Electric Motor Noise Testing

Abstract: A brief update of the progress towards RVLT Milestone L490 Initial acoustic model for kW class electric motors. A quiet loading device has been created that will allow for acoustic testing of a motor with different loads applied. Testing has also begun on a larger motor, the Scorpion SII-4020. Description of the installation of this motor as well as initial measurements reported. These include acoustic spectra and beamforming for source localization.
