Description
Precision Simulation for 1500V Automotive Testing
The CAR PS 1500 Battery Simulator is a cutting-edge power supply designed specifically for high-voltage automotive EMC and electrical system testing. Delivering up to 1500V and 15kW of consistent power output, this unit serves as a battery substitute for testing components in electric and hybrid vehicles under demanding conditions.
Compact Power, Big Impact
At just 30kg and housed in a sleek 483 x 176 x 500 mm desktop chassis, the CAR PS 1500 combines compactness with powerful capabilities. It supports up to 30A at 500V or 10A at 1500V, offering auto-ranging flexibility depending on your voltage requirements.
Ideal for:
- Battery simulation for vehicle ECUs
- EMC test benches
- High-voltage load testing
- ISO standard compliance testing
Speed and Safety in One
With a slew rate of 100V/µs, the simulator handles fast transient requirements with precision, making it ideal for ISO 7637-4:2020 and FMC1280 compliant testing environments. Integrated protection systems prevent overloads with both magnetic and thermal overcurrent safeguards.
Stackable Power Flexibility
Need more current? The CAR PS 1500 can be stacked in parallel up to 10 units, expanding total output to 100A. This scalability makes it future-proof for evolving automotive test needs.
Intelligent Remote Control with CAR-Remote
Easily manage and automate your testing with CAR-Remote Software over Ethernet. The software supports:
- Real-time control of voltage, current, and waveforms
- Test documentation in accordance with IEC 17025
- Integration with other HILO devices (e.g., CAR-AWG, CAR-AN-HV)
Built to Integrate Seamlessly
Includes built-in features for test lab and production line integration:
- Ethernet interface for seamless remote access
- External safety interlock loop connector
- Overvoltage and overcurrent protection
- Fan and heatsink cooling system for sustained performance
