- Fast data acquisition rates as much as 1.5 kHz captures events that other test systems miss
EA-BTS 10300 vs. Typical Battery Test System
One limitation of our competitor’s battery test systems is the need to utilize a rack of programmable power supplies and programmable loads and another rack with an industrial PC, test equipment and communications systems.
Battery packs are run while operating at a controlled temperature and locked into a battery pack configuration and power rating. Depending on the type of power supplied, a test may require interruption to allow the instrument to change range as the battery pack voltage ramps up or down.
A typical, non-EA multi-rack battery pack testing system
In comparison, the EA-BTS 10300 system integrates all the testing and communications systems into a single rack
The EA-BTS 10300 system is rated at 30-300kW and is expandable to a maximum of 3.84 MW. Unlike a typical test system, EA’s TRUE autoranging capability of the system’s programmable power source can deliver the required power over a wide range of voltage conditions.
True Autoranging – Advantages for Test
All EA bidirectional DC power supplies offer true autoranging which means that the full source and sink power of the devices is available over a wider operating range. The lower the current required in these ranges the higher the voltage available to maintain full power output. This allows a wider range of DUTs to be tested with a single power supply. EA’s autoranging feature provides full power, output as well as input, all the way down to 33% of system voltage and current.
- Save budget and space requirements
- No oversizing supply selection
- One supply tests more requirements
- Future-proof – versatile for future tests
Regenerative – Energy Recovery
The PSB is bidirectional, meaning it can source (provide) or sink (absorb) current and regenerate that current to the local power grid with up to 96% efficiency. The PSB can do this because of the built-in regenerative electronic load. This had the advantage of significantly reducing heat and saving electrical and HVAC costs through operation. Thus the PSB is a very green solution that is good for the environment and has low impact to the working space in terms of heat while reducing overall space requirement (combining a power supply and load into one asset). The EA bidirectional solution is also friendly for your investment ROI!
- Save electricity + HVAC costs
- Efficiency approximately 96%
- Quick return on investment
- Environmentally friendly
Arbitrary Waveform – Function Generator
A common requirement for programmable DC power supplies is to deliver the output voltage or current with a programmed pattern other than a straight-line DC signal. EA’s built-in function generator includes options for various typical waves such as sine, triangle, rectangle, and trapezoid waveforms, as well as custom programmed arbitrary waveforms. Additionally, provided are configuration tools for ramping, UI and IU tables, as well as simulations for fuel cells and photovoltaics with MPP tracking.
