Abstract
Commercial eddy current dynamometers control the torque of rotating body, power supply machine, with the field coil current being operated as a braking force. In this paper, we studied the relation between field coil current and torque load of eddy current dynamometer. By the torque measuring analysis of eddy current dynamometer it is linear relation between the brake force measured from a torque meter which is installed at the case of dynamometer and the multiplied shaft rpm by the squares of field coil current (N$\times$I$^2$). To prove the relation, it was experimented and showed that the torque operated by the rotating body can be measured with the shaft rpm and the field coil current of the eddy current dynamometer. This result shows a possibility that eddy current dynamometer can measure the torque of rotating body without a torque measuring device. such as load cell.
