The module’s ultra-fast dynamics with switchable capacitance also allows accurate simulation of batteries and capacitors. A current step between 90% sourcing to 90% sinking can be as quick as 50us, enabling high speed drives to be supplied. Modules are available from SELV models starting at 60V/338A, ranging up to 3000V/6MW at tens of thousands of amps.

An embedded function generator enables V/I and V/W relationships to be programmed against time, to accurately simulate a discharging fuel cell. Users can programme a current ripple up to 10kHz, commonly used for EIS research. Multi-module systems based around a centre tapped earth are possible, creating a +/- voltage output. Ideal for testing power systems used in ships and aircrafts.

If nothing in our standard range is suitable then we’ll look to provide a bespoke solution. We also offer a comprehensive selection of rental AC and DC power systems, at a wide range of powers and voltages.
