Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for use in dynamometer testing of a vehicle (100), the vehicle (100) including at least a first wheel shaft and at least one first vehicle power source for providing power to said first wheel shaft, said first wheel shaft being connected to a vehicle dynamometer system, said vehicle dynamometer system comprising a first controllable dynamometer power source (201) for providing power to said first wheel shaft, said first dynamometer power source being an electrical machine (201) comprising a stator and a rotor, said stator comprising a stator winding. The method includes: - determining whether a first temperature ( T 1 ) is below a first temperature limit ( T lim1 ), and - heating said electrical machine (201) by applying a current ( I heat ) to said stator winding when said first temperature ( T 1 ) is below said first temperature limit ( T lim1 ).
