This facility includes an electric motor of DC current capable of producing 750kW (setup 1) or 400 kW (setup2) of power at 3,000 rpm. The electric motor can be coupled with two gearboxes, one of which is capable of attaining a maximum rotational speed of 24,00rpm (setup 1) while the other is capable of reaching maximum rotational speed of 80,000 rpm (setup 2). The rotational speed of this electric motor is adjusted manually by the appropriate control which is installed in the control panel. An automatic mechanism with retroaction for stabilization of the rotational speed, independent of the power output requirements, is also installed.
