1500v battery pack testing
Bitrode, recently introduced the
FTF-HV series high voltage pack
testing system for the laboratory
battery pack testing market.
This new member of the FTF
high power pack testing system
family is capable of 1,500V
and 600A per channel with a
maximum power capability of
450kW per channel. The FTF-HV
is available in single channel and
two channels per cabinet.
The IGBT-based design has
a power factor of 0.99, is 92%
effi cient with power being fully
regenerative back to the grid,
0.05% current accuracy, and has
30m/sec risetime (10% to 90%)
with zero overshoot. Charge/
discharge switching time is zero
seconds and data acquisition rates
are optionable as low as 1m/sec.
The FTF-HV is controlled by the
same VisuaLCN software that is
used on all Bitrode testers, from
the MCV series all the way to the
FTF series.
“The journey to create these
1500-volt testers has not been
easy, but we now have two fully
tested units in our R&D testing lab
that we would proudly present to
any customer wishing to come
to St Louis to see them in action”
states Craig Brunk, VP of sales and
marketing, “this is an important
achievement for Bitrode and for
battery manufacturers wishing to
design past the current
1,200v high voltage packs for use
in personal vehicle and
mass transit markets.”

Keeping EV batteries and drivetrains safe
Today’s electrical vehicle batteries and
associated drive trains are complex, highvoltage
systems that need to be constantly
monitored for insulation breakdowns and
failures. High-capacity circuits shorting out
to a vehicle’s frame can pose unwanted
fi re risks and hazardous touch potentials
for unsuspecting occupants, operators, or
maintenance personnel.
Bender’s IMI (Isolation Monitoring
Interrupter) ensures accurate ohmic
readings across the entire drive spectrum
from standstill, full acceleration and under
re-generation conditions.
Bender also provides
similar safety circuits for
EVSE (electrical vehicle
supply equipment). Here,
milliamp leakage detection
circuits, also known as CCID
(charge current interrupting
device) are being provided
as an integral safety device
into Level 1 chargers as well as Level
2 charging stations and wall boxes.
Demanding Level 3 DC fast charger
applications in the multiple hundred KW
range are being protected by IMIs looking
for insulation breakdowns, similar to the
EV application. For Chademo circuits, the
IsoCha425 IMI reliably employs active
and passive measuring principles to safely
interrupt when a ground fault occurs.
