Portable testing device for a traction motor sensor
First Claim
1. A portable testing device comprising:
- a housing that encloses an electric motor and a power source, wherein the power source is configured to provide electrical power to the electric motor;
a sensor port operatively coupled to the housing and the electric motor, the sensor port having a converter member that is moveable to adjust a depth of the sensor port; and
a user interface device operatively coupled to the housing, the user interface device configured to adjust an amount of the electrical power provided by the power source to the electric motor,wherein the sensor port is configured to removably receive a sensor for testing operation of the sensor relative to the electric motor; and
wherein the testing device is portable to be hand carried by an operator.

Abstract
A portable testing device includes a housing that encloses an electric motor and a power source. The power source is configured to provide electrical power to the electric motor. The system also includes a sensor port operatively coupled to the housing and the electric motor. The sensor port includes a converter member that is movable to adjust a depth of the sensor port. The system also includes a user interface device operatively coupled to the housing. The user interface device is configured to adjust an amount of the electrical power provided by the power source to the electric motor. The sensor port is configured to removably receive a sensor for testing operation of the sensor relative to the electric motor.
