Our offer

The Power Electronics Test Center enables comprehensive tests and measurements on (drive) converters. (plant poster; PDF)..

In addition to insulation tests, short pulse tests to support initial commissioning and efficiency measurements over the entire operating range, endurance tests can be carried out at freely definable load profiles.

Own tests can also be defined, e.g. to investigate different drive and control methods.

Darüber hinaus steht ein unabhängiger Impedanzanalysator bereit, der eine hochgenaue Vermessung von passiven Bauteilen wie DC-Link-Kondensatoren und Spulen ermöglicht.
