Battery pack / fuel cell / e-Powertrain
DC source/sink
Single-Channel System
I-TS-3870: Single-channel system for testing and simulation of batteries, fuel cells and powertrains. One output with up to 1500 V and 1200 A. Maximum power in single operation 650 kW, up to 2.6 MW in parallel operation. (Maximum values for voltage, current and power depending on the specific configuration).

Our high-performance test system I-TS (Infeed test system) is a high dynamic, bidirectional DC power supply with continuous and seamless transition from source to sink operation. The outstanding performance is the basis for a wide range of applications in the automotive, hydrogen and laboratory sectors.

Hardware and software adaptation for special applications
to improve voltage stability for battery emulation - Protective diode at the DC output Switchable diode to protect the device under test in sink-only mode
- Insulation monitoring Protective device for monitoring the galvanic isolation of the DC output
- Parallel operation Increase in available power for certain applications through master-slave operation
- Interfaces Large selection of various optional interfaces such as CAN high-speed (1 kHz), SCPI, EtherCAT, Profi bus, Profi net, analog, LabVIEW, Matlab/Simulink
- DC output contactors with higher performance
DC output contactors with increased current capability are optionally available to increase the service life - Door contact switch, door locking device, special locking cylinder
Operator safety is our top priority, therefore additional safety equipment is available for our customers
- Schaltschränke in Sonderausführungen Rittal Schaltschränke, Sondersockel, Schränke auf Rollen,
Sonderlackierungen, Aderendkennzeichnung. Das I-TS kann
an die verschiedensten Kundenwünsche und örtlichen
Gegebenheiten angepasst werden - NA-Schutz mit Netzanalysemessgerät für
Erzeugungsanlagen (VDE-AR-N 4105, VDE-AR-N 4110) Aufgrund von Richtlinien des Netzbetreibers kann ein
NA-Schutz zur Überwachung der Netzqualität für das I-TS
erforderlich sein - Wasserkühlung inklusive Erhöhung der Schutzart auf IP54 Zur Minimierung der Abwärme an den Raum bzw. der
Geräuschminderung ist eine Wasserkühlung der Schaltschränke erhältlich. Zugleich erhöht sich dadurch auch die Schutzart des I-TS
Typical applications
- Battery tests (charge and discharge tests of batteries)
