Test Equipment for The HEMS Market
Description
A suite of test and measurement solutions for the rapidly growing battery, HEV/EV and HEMS markets have been launched: EV1003A Power Converter Test Solution, RP7900 Series Regenerative Power System, BT2191A Self-Discharge Measurement (SDM) System, and BT2152A Self-Discharge Analyzer (SDA).
EV1003A Power Converter Test Solution was designed specifically to address the efficiency, safety, regulatory, and environmental challenges associated with the HEV/EV and HEMS markets. Currently, it’s the only commercial off-the-shelf regenerative power system with highly integrated safety features that protect operators and the devices under test.
RP7900 Series Regenerative Power System offers battery emulation capabilities, such as 2-quadrant (source/sink) operation and programmable output resistance. In addition, the power system provides the added benefit of safely and cleanly regenerating greater than 85% of power back into the grid, which increases efficiency based on reduced energy consumption and cooling requirements.
BT2191A Self-Discharge Measurement (SDM) System is for cell designers and offers a new way to accurately measure Li-Ion cells’ self-discharge currents within a significantly reduced amount of time and with a settling time as low as one to two hours. This new patented technique allows engineers to dramatically reduce the design cycle-time and helps to optimize self-discharge performance and characteristics of battery cells.
BT2152A Self-Discharge Analyzer (SDA), for Li-Ion cell manufacturers, offers a new type of analyzer that measures in parallel self-discharge currents on a large number of cells, providing a significant reduction in the time required to discern good versus bad cell self-discharge performance. This helps achieve dramatic reductions in work-in-process inventories, working capital and facility costs.
Specs
EV1003A Power Converter Test Solution
- Get sourcing (power supply) and sinking (electronic load) up to 950 V, up to 40 A, and up to 10 kW
