World-Class Standard for Battery Test Equipment

FTF – High Power & Voltage Pack Testing System




  • IGBT Design for efficiency and high-performance operation
  • Design for 100% duty cycle at max power
  • Over-current, under-current, over-voltage and under-voltage protection standard on all models
  • No performance loss under voltage control
  • Quick disconnects on output leads
  • Test control and data management with Bitrode’s VisuaLCN™ Lab Client Software
  • Constant Current (CV), Constant Voltage (CV), and Constant Power (CP) control
  • Program execution is independent of the PC with VisuaLCNTM software
  • CE compliant
  • Discharge power recycled to AC line for cooler, energy-efficient operation
  • Built-in isolation transformer, AC input filter, and DC output filter
  • Optional inputs (i.e. temperature, voltage and digital inputs/outputs) assignable to any channel
  • 3rd party software control through Remote Binary Protocol (RBP) via Ethernet connection. RBP sold separately.
  • Safety features include circuit shutdown when the cabinet door is open
  • Dual output (FTF2) in one cabinet with independent control
  • FTF systems configured at the time of quote so you get the exact desired system and options
  • Up to two current ranges per circuit
  • Optional inputs (i.e. temperature, voltage and digital inputs/outputs) assignable to any channel
  • Temperature, Reference Voltage and Pressure monitoring available
  • Digital I/O with functions assigned per individual test program

General Specifications

Voltage: 35-500V / 40-700V / 58-1000V (Zero Volt optional)

Current:  up to 1000A (4000A in parallel)

Circuits:  up to 2

Network:  Ethernet

Power: up to 300kW per cabinet; up to 1.2MW when using an external parallel controller

Accuracy: ±0.05% of full scale*

Data Sampling Rate: 10ms (1ms optional)

Current Slew Rate: <4ms (10-90%) (dependent on cabinet specs)

Peak Efficiency: >92% (with typical 89-92)

*Accuracy values are conservative assuming operation will be through the standard temperature range of 0-40˚ C and RH from 10-90% (non-condensing). Units calibrated and maintained in a temperature and humidity controlled environment can expect an accuracy of 0.02-0.05%FS.

 

Overview

The FTF is scalable to provide a maximum output power of 1.2MW. The FTF automated test system is designed to
provide continuous operation in high power applications where precise control of current and voltage is required.
