Electronics Power Supply / Management Test & Measurement battery power test testerACA TMETRIX Regatron G5.BT series is bidirectional regenerative, developed specifically for testing energy storage devices and is suitable for use in laboratories and on test benches. The modular and finely graded units are characterized by highly dynamic response times and a wide current-voltage range with an auto-ranging factor 3. Product series has an improved current accuracy of of <0.02% FS, as well as an additional high-resolution current measurement range. Product provides a voltage accuracy of 0.01% FS and a current rise time in the 50 through 200µs range – even at higher power levels. Product detects reverse polarity connection, and delivers overcurrent protection in case of unmatched voltages between battery and tester. With a wide current-voltage range with an auto-ranging factor of 3, devices provide current ripple modulation up to 10kHz.
