Product catalog summary
Overview: The TORKEL 900 series is a battery load unit designed for load/discharge testing to determine the actual capacity of battery systems. It features dynamic discharge technology, real-time monitoring, and safety mechanisms such as blocked airflow detection. The system is expandable with TXL extra load units and integrates BVM cell monitor control.
Models: The series includes three models: TORKEL 910, 930, and 950. The 910 model supports up to 110 A and 300 V, while the 930 and 950 models support up to 220 A, with the 950 model accommodating up to 500 V. The 930 and 950 models also include BVM functionality and full report capabilities.
Features: Key features include constant current, power, and resistance load patterns, a 7" touch screen display, USB and Ethernet connections, and an emergency stop button. The system can operate without disconnecting the battery from its equipment, maintaining constant current levels.
Specifications: The TORKEL 900 series operates in environments with temperatures ranging from 0°C to +50°C and can be stored between -40°C and +70°C. It supports a mains voltage of 100 – 240 V AC and has a power consumption of 200 W max. The unit is designed for high-voltage substations and industrial environments, with an encapsulation class of IP20.
Optional Accessories: Optional accessories include extra loads (TXL830, TXL850, TXL870, TXL890), BVM for automatic battery cell voltage logging, sensing leads, clamp-on probes, and extension cables. Each accessory is designed to enhance the functionality and flexibility of the TORKEL system.
Ordering Information: The document provides detailed ordering information for each model and accessory, including transport cases and cable sets.

TORKEL 900-series Battery Load Unit TORKEL 900-seriesBattery Load Unit ■ Batteries can be tested in service ■ Dynamic discharge technology - full power at all voltages ■ Safety in all details, e.g. detection of blocked airflow ■ Real time monitoring during test ■ Quick report ■ Easily expandable for larger battery banks using TXL extra load units ■ BVM cell monitor control integrated in the system DESCRIPTION The TORKEL™ 900 series is used to perform load/discharge testing which is the only way to determine battery systems actual capacity. Together with the optional cell voltage logger, BVM, connected directly to the TORKEL 900, it becomes a complete, stand-alone, discharge test system. TORKEL comes in three models, 910, 930 and 950, see table below. The high discharge capacity of TORKEL gives the opportunity to shorten the test time. Discharging can take place at up to 220 A, and if higher current is needed, two or more TORKEL units or extra load units, TXL, can be linked together. Tests can be conducted at constant current, constant power, constant resistance or in accordance with a pre-selected load profile. Testing can also be carried out without disconnecting the battery from the equipment it serves. Via a DC clamp-on probe, TORKEL measures the total battery current while regulating it at a constant level. Battery systems can be plus or minus grounded or free floating. MODEL OVERVIEW APPLICATION EXAMPLE The TORKEL is connected to battery, the current and the voltage alarm levels are set. After starting the discharge, TORKEL keeps the current constant at the preset level. When the voltage drops to a level slightly above the final voltage, TORKEL issues an alarm. If the voltage drops so low that there is a risk for deep discharging the battery, TORKEL shuts down the test. If the power supply is interrupted the test will continue when power is restored. All values are stored in TORKEL and can easily be transferred via an USB-stick to a PC for evaluation and print out. Separate sensing cables (dashed lines) should be used to get accurate voltage measurements to offset the voltage drop caused by long current cables and/or high current.
