MILWAUKEE - Delivery and set up of 10 new motor drives from ABB Inc. to Milwaukee School of Engineering's (MSOE) Industrial Control Laboratory "both helps complete the extensive retrofit of this facility for students and gives them hands-on access to the latest generation of electrical motor drive technology," said Dr. Owe Petersen, professor and interim chairman of MSOE's Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department.
"We are delighted with the technology and the timing," Dr. Stephen Williams, associate professor in the MSOE Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department, told Rick Hepperla, vice president and general manager of ABB Low-Voltage Drives, and staffers who gathered for the official presentation of the equipment. The lab, located in the Fred F. Loock Engineering Center, has undergone extensive renovation and refurbishment this summer.
