Tektronix’s business unit, EA Elektro-Automatik \*EA\*, has announced the launch of the enhanced EA BTS 10300 Battery Test System.
The company reports that the EA BTS 10300 provides industry-leading power density, offering 300 kW in a single 42U-high rack and occupying only 6.5 square feet of production floor space.
Revolutionizing EV Battery Testing:
Tektronix says that by offering unmatched power density with 300 kW in a single 42U-high rack that requires only 6.5 square feet of floor space, the EA BTS 10300 Battery Test System is achieving new standards in EV battery testing. This compact EV battery test rack provides substantial power in minimal space—a crucial benefit for production EV battery tests. Its ability to parallel racks for a massive 3.84 MW of testing capability underscores its scalability and efficiency.
Unrivaled Performance and Versatility:
Boasting a 2000 VDC capacity for high-voltage EV battery tests, Tektronix states that the EA BTS can supply and sink up to 2,400 A per rack—reaching a total capacity of up to 30,720 A. The high-current capability is essential for rigorous battery module tests including pulse testing which demands exponentially higher currents. Previously requiring costly custom-built systems; now delivered as part of this complete COTS turnkey solution encompassing cycling drive cycle simulations and insulation resistance tests.
Innovative Operation & Testing Advantages:
Featuring cutting-edge bidirectional power supply with SiC-based switching—the company adds it offers efficient rapid operation reducing electrical costs regenerating back grid up-to-96-point-five-percent efficiency minimizing HVAC expenses due to low heat generation slew rates twice fast competitors’ data acquisition rates one-point-five-kHz ensuring precise comprehensive testing.
Future-Proof Testing True Autoranging:
True auto-ranging capability allows wide range voltage current adjustments without interrupting cycles beneficial adaptive requirements making future-proof investment evolving needs according to Tektronix.
