This document outlines the practical steps for conducting a Power Brake Test on internal combustion (I.C.) engines. The procedure involves warming up the engine, increasing the load, and setting the throttle to wide open while adjusting the ignition timing to achieve maximum torque. Measurements are taken at various engine speeds, reducing load intermittently to optimize performance. The results are recorded and displayed in a torque versus speed graph, providing valuable insights into engine efficiency and power output.

Power Brake Test • Procedure • Warm up engine • Increase the load • Throttle wide open • Adjust ignition timing to give maximum torque at the lowest speed to run the engine smoothly • Note the reading
Power Brake Test • Procedure • For next test • Reduced the load • This will increase the engine speed • Readjust ignition timing to give maximum torque at the lowest speed to run the engine smoothly • Note the readings • Test are repeated at intervals of 200/400 rev/min till maximum speed of the engine acheived
