New equipment at the IRT Saint Exupéry – an electric motor test bench
The characterisation platform for the more electrical aircraft domain at IRT Saint Exupéry has been expanded with the arrival of a new electric motor test bench to work in conjunction with hysteresisgraph purchased in 2015. It supports the ‘technology bricks’ sub-domain research into characterising and modelling electromagnetic losses. The idea is to improve the accuracy[…]
1st IRT Saint Exupéry PhD thesis defense on partial electric discharges
On 3 April 2017, Cédric Abadie became IRT Saint Exupéry’s first PhD student to defend his PhD dissertation. Awarded by University of Toulouse III – Paul Sabatier, his work was supervised by both Laplace Laboratory[1] (CNRS/INP-ENSEEIHT/UT3 Paul Sabatier) and IRT Saint Exupéry.
