Pickering Interfaces has expanded its range of PXI instrumentation modules with the introduction of the 41-752 Battery Simulator.

Developed in association with DMC, a systems integrator based in Chicago, the 41-752 is a six cell battery simulator that provides up to 300mA of current from each cell.

The output voltage from each cell is fully adjustable up to 7V and each cell includes its own sense lines to improve regulation performance. 

Each cell can be configured to operate as a current sink in a battery charging circuit of up to 100mA.

Cells and modules can be series connected to emulate the battery stacks being used in new generation electric vehicles.

More than 100 cells can stacked in series in a single Pickering Interfaces PXI or Modular LXI Chassis to allow the testing of battery management charging systems. The independently controlled channels allow the cells to be set to different output voltages to simulate different charge and capacity states. 

Outputs are made available on high voltage D Type connectors permitting the generation of voltages of up to 750V.
