Features And Benefits

• Available in single and dual pack versions
• Sensor simulation available to provide thermistor, strain gauges, heater loads, and cell bypass/short.
• Battery behavior easily modified via spreadsheet download to simulate any battery topology including Nickel Metal Hydride, Lithium Ion, and Nickel Cadmium

Flexible Database Operation
A unique database engine allows the Battery Simulator to simulate various battery chemistries. The state-of-charge of the "battery" and the instantaneous current flow in or out of the"battery" is used to calculate the current terminal voltage of the battery. This database engine has the capability of controlling pressure transducer simulator to allow a charging system to operate in a closed loop fashion. The database feature allows the simulator to simulate common battery ailments: shorted cells, degraded charge transfer, and aging, to name a few.

Integrated Battery Sensor Simulator Packages
Integrated thermistor and pressure transducer simulators allow the user to test an entire battery conditioning system closed loop. This integration of simulators allows for faster system debug and greater test flexibility.

Fully Programmable
All aspects of the battery simulation are programmable. A file management system allows different "battery" databases to be loaded and executed transparently while the system is simulating, thus allowing the user the ability to change battery conditions quickly and efficiently. A simulation can be suspended and re-started later, allowing the user to stop the charge/discharge cycle and examine battery maintenance systems in a static environment. All system setpoints and operational points are available to the user either locally or remotely, eliminating the need for external monitoring equipment.

Attention To Spacecraft Safety
Several safety systems are employed in the battery simulator to ensure proper system operation. Overcurrent trip or foldback points are user settable locally or remotely. Programmable overvoltage protection is also provided.

Wide Range Of Power
Charge/discharge power levels ranging from less than a kilowatt to several kilowatts, are available.

Power Rack Integration Service
Power subsystems are a key part of electronic systems, manufacturing processes and process control equipment. The engineering and construction of these power subsystems are often unwanted diversions for the engineering staff.

AMETEK can provide you with custom designed turnkey power subsystem rack solutions to meet a variety of application requirements. Based on our vast power subsystem experience we can quickly and efficiently provide system solutions. Whether you desire to free up your current engineering talent or to add a fresh perspective in applications where power subsystems are new to your process, we can help.

AMETEK starts with the world's largest selection of programmable power sources, then designs and builds a system that will fill your every need, all with a single P.O.

Some additional benefits of a AMETEK Power Rack System are:
Strong systems experience mitigates risk of integration issues and performance problems.. Customer part number established, allowing easy reprocurement of systems for future requirements.

Building power subsystems requires more than power sources and racks; it demands attention to thousands of details.

Test System Safety
The BSS is used in place of test flight batteries. There is no need to charge and discharge test batteries, and chance a shorting of the battery.

Test Process Speed
Changing from one state - of - charge to another using flight batteries and be a time consuming process. The Elgar BSS is simple, fast and accurate
