Design and Development of a Test Platform for Performance of Variable Speed Control Switches in Power Tools

Article Preview

Abstract:

The characteristics of switches have great influence on the performance of power tools. A test platform was designed and developed to test the performance of variable speed control switches in power tools, in which 3 kinds of modes can be conducted, i.e., life cycle test, lock rotor test and current step test. The test results showed that the platform was feasible, and very helpful for understanding and furthermore improving the characteristics of switches during different working situations.
