The advancement in Power Hardware-in-the-Loop (PHIL) based AC motor emulation is crucial for the development and testing of motor drive systems. This paper presents a versatile PHIL-based motor emulator testbench. The proposed emulator replicates various AC motors, including Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machines (PMSMs), Induction Machines (IMs), and Brushless DC Machines (BLDCMs). Detailed configuration and control descriptions for these three machine emulator systems are provided. Experimental implementation and results are presented to validate the motor emulator testbench operation for various operating conditions.
