Sorensen IB-4-300-160-1000 High Performance Regenerative DC Power System
The Sorensen i-BEAM IB-4-300-160-1000 is engineered as a powerful regenerative DC power system, boasting an impressive total power capacity of 160 kW. This advanced system offers unparalleled DC source and sink capabilities, making it essential for testing today's sophisticated power electronics across various sectors including automotive, energy storage, industrial, and aerospace applications.
Designed with user convenience in mind, the IB-4-300-160-1000 features a state-of-the-art color TFT touchscreen that provides a user-friendly, menu-driven interface. Users can effortlessly set and measure crucial parameters such as voltage, current, power, and internal resistance directly from the touchscreen. Moreover, the system supports programmable voltage and current ramps, allowing for the storage of settings for repeated use—truly enhancing operational flexibility.
Safety is paramount; the Sorensen IB-4-300-160-1000 incorporates under voltage limits to prevent deep discharge, thereby safeguarding battery packs during testing. The system also maintains detailed event logs, offering comprehensive documentation of actions, warnings, and faults for enhanced oversight.
The versatile platform of the IB-4-300-160-1000 supports a wide array of testing requirements throughout the product lifecycle. Key testing applications include:
- Battery simulation and testing (charge/discharge)
- Electric powertrain testing
- Contactor and circuit breaker testing
This system features a Single-Channel configuration allowing power flow in either direction. Additionally, it includes a Power Distribution Unit (PDU) that establishes a remote connection between the i-BEAM and a Device Under Test (DUT) within a testing environment. The PDU is conveniently housed in a free-standing cabinet, complete with shutdown and reset controls, a voltmeter, a status light tower, and a door contact safety feature that automatically shuts down the system if the cabinet door is opened.
