Chroma 17040 Regenerative Battery Pack Test System
The Chroma 17040 system is a precision system designed for testing secondary battery modules and packs. It has an energy regenerative function that reduces power consumption and ensures a stable power grid.
Reduced power consumption and stable power grid:
The system’s energy regenerative function significantly reduces power consumption during discharge. It also maintains a stable power grid without causing harmonic pollution on other devices. Additionally, it can recycle the electric energy discharged by the battery module back to the grid. This feature reduces wasted energy that traditional equipment discharges as heat and lowers HVAC requirements.
Parallel channels and dynamic profile simulation:
The system has built-in parallel channels and dynamic profile simulation functions. These features increase the charge and discharge current and power to its maximum, improving efficiency and device flexibility. The dynamic profile simulation enables the user to load a battery waveform of a given drive profile in either current or power mode. This helps meet NEDC/FUDS requirements.
Bi-directional architecture and international testing standards:
The system’s bi-directional architecture ensures uninterrupted current flow during the charge and discharge transient state. It simulates driving conditions accurately according to ISO, IEC, UL, and GB/T international testing standards.
Battery Pro software and safety features:
The 17040 system is equipped with Chroma’s “Battery Pro” software. It provides flexible test editing functions to perform independent channel tests that conform to diverse safety and stability requirements for testing secondary battery packs. The system’s power failure recovery functions prevent any interruption of test data. The system has multiple safety features, including over-voltage, over-current, and over-temperature protection, and external parameter detection, to protect charge/discharge testing on batteries. Finally, the system protects against power failure for data loss, storage, and recovery.
