Chroma Introduces Loaded High Power Battery Pack Test Solution
High-power battery test system up to 1700V/4800A/1.2MW with regenerative capabilities, dynamic profile simulation, battery simulation, and advanced safety features.
FOOTHILL RANCH, Calif., June 12, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Chroma Systems Solutions, a leading provider of innovative battery and power conversion test solutions, is pleased to introduce the Chroma 17040E Regenerative Battery Test System. This advanced system offers high-power capabilities, regenerative features, dynamic profile simulation, and advanced safety features, as well as battery simulation, making it a serious challenger in the field of battery module and pack testing. This system can also simulate batteries to test battery connected devices.
The Chroma 17040E is a state-of-the-art high-power battery test system currently capable of handling voltages up to 1700V, currents up to 4800A, and power up to 1.2MW. The 17040E is available in four voltage and current ranges with auto ranging, high accuracy current/voltage measurement (±0.05%FS/±0.02%FS), 2ms current slew rate, and 1ms data acquisition. With its impressive power capacity, this system enables precise and reliable testing of battery modules and packs.
One of the standout features of the Chroma 17040E is its regenerative capabilities. Unlike traditional testing equipment that dissipates energy as heat, this system can recycle the electric energy discharged by the battery module back to the grid. This regenerative function not only significantly reduces power consumption during discharge but also alleviates HVAC requirements, resulting in cost savings and improved energy efficiency.
The dynamic profile simulation function of the Chroma 17040E allows users to load battery waveforms based on specific drive profiles in either current or power mode. This feature ensures compliance with NEDC/FUDS requirements and facilitates accurate testing in line with international test standards, including ISO, IEC, UL, and GB/T.
The battery simulation mode enables testing of battery connected devices. When a connected device is under development, the 17040E can simulate the battery to verify if the device is functioning as designed. In addition, the 17040E can control the SOC status of different batteries. Users can simply upload required battery curves to test the DUT for charge and discharge status.
Safety is a top priority when it comes to battery testing, and the Chroma 17040E excels in this area. It incorporates advanced safety features such as Over Voltage Protection, Over Current Protection, Over Temperature Protection, and external parameter detection. These measures ensure protected charge/discharge testing and prevent any interruption or loss of test data, even in the event of a power failure.
Equipped with Chroma's powerful Battery Pro software, the Chroma 17040E provides flexible test editing functions, independent channel testing capabilities, and assures high safety and stability throughout the testing process.
