Power Cycling & Test Systems

The Standard for Advanced Testing

Our Power Cycling and Test Systems are used for a wide range of testing, charging and development activities associated with advanced batteries, fuel cells, ultra capacitors, hybrid energy systems, motors, generators, uninterruptible power systems, and powertrain components.

With a full power range (+/-5kW to +/-1MW) of bi-directional DC equipment, our Power Cycling and Test Systems can handle virtually any DC supply or load requirement. In addition, Webasto systems can emulate any drivetrain component, enabling the testing of individual components or partial drivetrains accurately and realistically, allowing true hardware-in-the-loop testing.

Our equipment provides unparalleled reliability and up-time – our original equipment is still in use after 30 years of service.

Product Overview

Advanced High Power Test System

900 EX: Dynamic. Accurate. Scalable.

The 900 EX is the most advanced high power test system for use in testing and emulating a wide variety of active and passive loads. Test faster and more efficiently with more predictive results.

The 900 EX is ideal for testing and emulating energy storage and drive train components of large electric and hybrid electric vehicles. The increased performance (rise time/slew rate) and increased accuracy make the 900 EX ideal for applications like Heavy Industrial (ships, trains, trucks, and planes), Military (hybrid drives and aircraft launch systems), Power Electronics (Solar Panels, Inverters), and Hardware in the loop testing. Digital controls protect critical systems and components, and the system can self-adjust to external environmental events like unstable power sources. The bi-directional system can operate at ± 250kW, or combined, it can scale to ±1MW. The 900 EX, with LCD touchscreen display, is an intelligent system that will give you the accuracy, speed, and control to add value to your tests.

Supports standard EV tests including: FUDS, SFUDS, GSFUDS, DST, and ECE-15L.
