NI (previously referred to as Nationwide Devices) has introduced the latest product in its portfolio of high-power check techniques for battery testing and simulation.

The NHR 4800 high-density battery cycler and emulator is designed for modularity, versatility and security. It addresses the wants of battery testing throughout analysis, validation, manufacturing and second-life purposes.

The NHR 4800 is very modular and scalable, permitting engineering groups to effectively scale their check capabilities. When mixed with NI’s software-defined battery check strategy, it allows engineers to regulate and evolve for future battery check necessities.

“Battery testing could be a aggressive benefit for EV producers, and NI offers them with an open, versatile and cost-effective platform to attain it,” stated Drita Roggenbuck, Senior VP and GM of Transportation at NI. “The NHR 4800 delivers best-in-class, high-power testing in a protected and compact system to offer our prospects the efficiency essential for at this time’s and tomorrow’s battery testing necessities throughout a number of industries.”

The NHR 4800 is able to functioning as a battery cycler, DC supply, DC load, battery emulator, and amplifier for power-level hardware-in-the-loop testing. The system delivers as much as 80 V and 400 A in a single-4U chassis whereas delivering scalable energy starting from 16.5 kW as much as 165 kW. This large working envelope makes the NHR 4800 optimum for testing low- to mid-range battery modules and packs, gas cells, vitality storage techniques, and photo voltaic PV techniques.

Key options embrace:

• Modular and scalable energy with parallel operation of as much as 10 techniques to go from 16.5 kW to 165 kW
• Constructed-in isolation contactor relays, pre-charge circuit, reverse polarity checker
• Excessive-performance supply and regenerative load with typical regenerative energy effectivity >90%
• Regenerative energy effectivity >90% (typical)
• 100% SiC-based know-how
• Air-cooled to simplify upkeep
• A number of management choices: contact panel and SCPI instructions through LabVIEW and Python
