    Examples include APU’s, flywheels, motors, inverters, batteries, fuel cells, capacitors, and more. The 900 is an ideal test system for a wide range of DC loads in addition to batteries; offering more capability than a traditional power supply system. The...
  • Page 11: Constant Current Source

    By setting the correct upper voltage limit and operating the system in constant Current Mode, the user can assure that the 900 will charge the battery at the desired current until its voltage rises to the limit and will then maintain that voltage. No manual adjustment is needed during the test.
  • Page 12: Other Applications

    Battery Emulation With its computer control capabilities, the 900 can be programmed to emulate a battery. To do so, the 900 would first be put into constant Voltage Mode at the desired state of charge. As current is drawn from the 900, the voltage would be lowered as if the “battery”...

    Prior to contactor closure, this circuit monitors the impedance between the positive and negative busses and the chassis. Once the contactors have been closed and the Unit Under Test (UUT) is connected to the 900, the isolation monitor is disabled to prevent nuisance trips with low impedance loads.

    4.2 Independent Configuration When the 900 is powered up, it is always in the Independent Configuration. Output A and Output B operate completely independently, allowing Load A and Load B to be controlled separately. Each load is connected from the positive terminal to the negative terminal of the appropriate output.
  • Page 32: Choosing Operating Limits

    Figure 4.3 – Parallel Configuration 4.4 Choosing Operating Limits The 900 allows the user to set temporary upper and lower operating limits for voltage, current and power that are more restrictive than the absolute system limits defined above. In many cases, the user may want to use these more restrictive limits in order to protect the load or avoid unsafe conditions.
  • Page 33: Operating Space

    4. The operating limits may not be outside the maximum limits of the DC Converter for the chosen configuration (as shown in Tables and Figure 4.1). 5. The upper limit for any parameter may not be lower than the lower limit for that parameter. 11816-03-D Page 33 of 58 Webasto Charging Systems, Inc.
  • Page 34 Prior to connection, no current is flowing in the terminals, and the voltage is by definition zero. If the resistive load is to be energized successfully, the 900 DC Converter's operating space must include this initial condition.
  • Page 35: Operating The System

    The flashing LEDs are controlled so that the user is reminded to check or reset all settings in the appropriate order. In general, whenever there are flashing LEDs, the 900 is expecting the user to make a choice or verify a setting and will not allow certain other actions until that step is completed.

    Remote Voltage Sense (RVS) Operation: 1) Independent Mode The output voltage of each channel of the 900 can be regulated directly at the load, eliminating excessive voltage drop across the cables, which carry high current between the 900 and the load and yet maintain greater voltage accuracy. This is accomplished by utilizing the V Sense connectors provided on the front panel user I/O strip.
