Electromechanical Systems Simulation Software (LVSIM®-EMS)

The Electromechanical Systems Simulation Software (LVSIM®-EMS) is a simulation software that covers the same courseware as the following systems: Computer-Assisted 0.2 kW Electromechanical Training System, Model 8006-1, DC and AC Power Circuits Training System, Model 8010-1, Electromechanical Training System, Model 8010-9 and AC Power Transmission Training System, Model 8010-B.

With LVSIM-EMS, all the standard EMS laboratory equipment is replaced by images of the actual EMS modules that students can manipulate on the computer screen. Students can identify and set up equipment for a given exercise, make the necessary connections between the virtual EMS modules, and verify the connections made without the need for actual EMS equipment. The LVSIM-EMS software allows students to perform hands-on activities related to electrical power and machines, including active, reactive, and apparent power, phasors, ac/dc motors and generators, three-phase circuits, and transformers. LVSIM-EMS is a cost-effective tool that can be used to complement the actual EMS laboratory equipment or can be used as a stand-alone product to teach the same exercises students would learn using the actual EMS equipment.
