A novel web‐based laboratory for DC motor experiments

This article introduces a novel web‐based DC motor laboratory, called NeTRe‐LAB, to support teaching electrical machines. The NeTRe‐LAB includes favorable animations to facilitate understanding characteristics of the DC motor, interactive DC motor models for instructive simulations, and web‐based experiments with online monitoring features. To illustrate the current operations, remote access to an experimental setup of a DC motor has been provided and the speed control of it has been realized over Internet. The evaluation results have shown that the NeTRe‐LAB presented in this study provides encouraging aspects, services, and support system for higher education. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
