Abstract

A magnetic levitation test system and an electromagnet test method. A vehicle-mounted controller ( 1024 ), an electromagnet controller, and an electromagnet are subjected to joint test by means of the magnetic levitation test system integrated with a vehicle-mounted controller test bed ( 102 ), an electromagnet controller test bed ( 104 ), and an electromagnet test bed ( 106 ). The running condition of a train can be simulated, and the vehicle-mounted controller ( 1024 ), the electromagnet controller, and the electromagnet are subjected to joint test under the simulated running condition of the train. Therefore, the vehicle-mounted controller ( 1024 ), the electromagnet controller, and the electromagnet are subjected to function verification, thereby reducing the fault rate when the vehicle-mounted controller ( 1024 ), the electromagnet controller, and the electromagnet are used at the same time.
