BAT600 SERIES BATTERY TESTERS

Solutions for all Your Battery Pack Testing Needs

BAT600 SERIES OVERVIEW

UNICO’s comprehensive battery pack test portfolio takes advantage of both Silicon IGBTs and SiC MOSFETs to meet diverse industry needs. Whether in the lab, or at end of line test, when your application requires high power, high voltage, exceptional dynamic performance, or even all of these, UNICO provides the optimal solution to your battery pack testing needs. Single and multi-channel solutions are available. Our resonant converter can be used to eliminate the input isolation transformer, and makes it possible to have multi-channel solutions with galvanic channel to channel isolation utilizing a common DC bus architecture that recirculates energy and minimizes power supply requirements.

BENEFITS

PERFORMANCE AND ACCURACY

  • SiC technology offers high performance with switching frequencies up to 75kHz or more.
  • The highest level of accuracy minimizes errors and uncertainty in your results.

REDUCED POWER REQUIREMENTS

  •  Common DC-Bus architecture recirculates energy within the system.
  • Single AFE connection for a multi-megawatt system, or multiple test stations reduces installation costs.
  • High efficiency reduces operational costs.

FLEXIBLE HIGH POWER

  • High power and performance in a flexible and scalable package.
  • Isolated multi-channel capability offers high voltage and power in a significantly smaller package.

STANDARD DESIGN

  • Proven durability and reliability.
  • Faster commissioning.
  • Configurable systems and custom systems also available.
  • Single flexible control interface

REDUCED DELIVERY TIMES

  • Both in-stock and ready-to-build standard systems available.
  • Configured standard systems have reduced delivery times over custom systems.

BATTERY PACK TESTER - BAT600 SERIES

The BAT600 Series from UNICO offers a broad range of DC Power solutions developed for the exacting needs of today’s battery testing applications for battery packs. We offer efficient single channel or multichannel solutions for high voltage, high power, high performance applications in a wide range of packages from 100kW to 4000kW or more. The BAT600 Series is flexible with a variety of industry standard interfaces available to provide simple and robust connections to your Test Automation System (TAS), allowing for optimal utilization and flexibility of your testing schedules.

MULTI-CHANNEL SYSTEM WITH RESONANT CONVERTERS FOR ISOLATION

The use of resonant converters for channel to channel isolation provides options for incredibly high efficient battery cycling significantly reducing the test lab operating costs and power requirements. The channel to channel isolation also creates the possibility of putting two of the outputs in series.
