KFM2150 System

Product catalog summary
Overview: The KFM2150 system is a versatile fuel cell impedance measurement system capable of measuring impedance from 10 mHz to 20 kHz. It supports both AC impedance and IR measurement using the current interrupt method and can adapt to various fuel cell power capacities by integrating with Kikusui electronic load units.
System Components: The system includes the KFM2150 impedance meter and a Kikusui PLZ-4W series electronic load unit. It can be configured for single cells or stack fuel cells, measuring I-V characteristics, constant current characteristics, and Cole-Cole plot data.
Features:
  • Impedance measurement range: 10 mHz to 20 kHz.
  • Operating voltages: 1.5 V to 150 V.
  • Parallel operation of multiple PLZ-4W units for increased capacity.
  • Adjustable AC current measurement from 0.1% to 10% of DC load current.
  • Standard low voltage protection and external interfaces (RS-232C, GPIB, USB).
System Configurations: Available in bench top and rack mount types, with various power ratings and dimensions, supporting specific voltage, current, and power capacities.
Software and Control: The FC Tester software provides comprehensive control and data acquisition, supporting I-V characteristics, constant current tests, and Cole-Cole plot measurements, with real-time graph functions and data export capabilities.
FC Scanner KFM2151: A 32-channel scanner that monitors each cell in a fuel cell stack, expandable to 160 channels, with a channel-allocated terminal changing function and a scan speed of 32 channels per second.
Technical Specifications: Detailed specifications include impedance measurement, current interrupt method, and protection functions, supporting a wide range of input voltages and frequencies, with a maximum power consumption of 100 VA.
Specifications: The system supports 1 output channel for impedance measurement, with 32 voltage measurement channels expandable to 160. Voltage ranges are auto-set at 2 V, 20 V, and 200 V, with a scan speed of 32 channels per second. Overvoltage and undervoltage protection ranges from -2 V to 200 V with a resolution of 0.01 V.
Impedance Measurement: Supports 32 channels for impedance measurement, expandable to 160, with auto scan and manual selection. Impedance measurement is possible up to 150 V when connected to the KFM2150.
Communication and Interfaces: Includes an RS-232C interface for PC connection and interfaces for impedance meter and parallel connections.
General Specifications: Input voltage range is 100 VAC to 240 V, with a frequency range of 47 Hz to 63 Hz. Power consumption is 30 VA max. Insulation resistance is 30 MW or greater, and withstand voltage is 1500 VAC for 1 minute.
Load Cable Considerations: For fuel cell measurements, thick and short cables are recommended to prevent voltage drops and heat generation.
System Specifications: Specifications are assured within a temperature range of 20°C to 30°C and humidity of 20%rh to 85%rh. The system's weight is approximately 21 kg.
Accuracy of Measurements: Impedance measurement accuracy varies with frequency and current range, with accuracy ranging from 3% to 6% depending on frequency. IR measurement accuracy with the current interrupt method is ±3%.
Additional Notes: Products are intended for use under qualified supervision and are not for general consumer use. Specifications and designs are subject to change without notice.
