Multi-Channel System
MI-TS-3871: Multi-channel system for energy-saving tests and simulations. Multi-channel system for energy-saving tests and simulations. Two or four outputs, up to 1500 V
and 1200 A per output (without galvanic isolation between the DC outputs // Maximum values for
voltage, current and number of output channels depending on the specifi c confi guration).

Our high-performance test system MI-TS (Multichannel Infeed test system) is a multi-channel, highly dynamic, bidirectional DC power supply with continuous and seamless transition from source to sink
mode. Thanks to its multi-channel capability and outstanding performance, the MI-TS is the ideal test system for a wide range of applications in the automotive, hydrogen and laboratory sectors. At the same time, it off ers the possibility of increasing performance thanks to parallel output channels.
Standard features
- The MI-TS-3871 impresses even in its standard system configuration with its extensive features, making it ready for immediate deployment for customers worldwide. Below is a brief excerpt:
General information - Input voltage 380 / 400 V, 50 / 60 Hz
- Sense connections for voltage measurement / regulation
- DC current and voltage measurement with 0.1 % full scale accuracy
- Battery tester version
- Protection class IP20
- Noise-reduced design (vibration metals, fan control)
- Air cooling
- Parallel operation of the output channels to increase the current
Safety features
- Lockable main switch as load-break switch
- Safety control for Performance Level d in accordance with EN 60204-1 / ISO 13849-1
- Stop switch in cabinet door
- Voltmeter and indicator light in cabinet door
- Redundant DC output contactors
- Connection terminals for external „emergency stop“
- Connection terminals for external „stop“
- DC output electrically isolated from the AC mains (galvanic isolation)
Interfaces
- 10 inch display with touch operation
- Modbus / TCP interface
- CAN interface
- VNC interface
Options (extract)
- Security level
Increase to performance level e as a special option - Battery emulation version (increased output capacity)
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
- 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 protection with network analysis measuring device for generation systems (VDE-AR-N 4105, VDE-AR-N 4110). Due to regulations from the grid operator, NA protection may be required for monitoring grid quality for the MI-TS.
- Water cooling including an increase in protection class to IP54. To minimize heat dissipation in the room and reduce noise, water cooling for the control cabinets is available. This also increases the protection class of the MI-TS.
Typical applications
- Battery tests (charge and discharge tests of batteries)
- Battery simulation / battery emulation
- Load for fuel cells
- Test power supply for contactors, fuses and circuit breakers
- Test of DC motors (drive train)
- Testing of charging columns (comemso)
- Power supply to trains for maintenance purposes at the ICE (German high speed train) plants
