[0004] Single-parameter testing: Traditional aircraft generator testing systems typically only monitor basic operating parameters, such as generator voltage and main generator current, but lack real-time monitoring of key parameters like excitation voltage and current. This makes it difficult for the system to provide comprehensive fault information and accurate diagnostics when a generator malfunctions.

[0005] Inconvenient load adjustment: Traditional detection systems have certain limitations in load adjustment and cannot achieve convenient load adjustment. This results in the inability to simulate the operation of the generator under different load conditions during the test, thus limiting the comprehensiveness and accuracy of the test results.

[0006] Limited speed range: Aircraft starter generators must operate at varying speeds to meet the demands of different flight phases. However, existing testing systems often only test within a limited speed range and fail to cover the full speed range of actual generator operation. This results in test results that fail to fully reflect the generator's performance at various speeds.
