Power functional test with energy recovery solutions Energy Saving

In many industries, the electronic devices are designed for applications which require power availability and management, like motor control and power supplies (e.g. conditioners, inverters). Seica, with its well-proven Compact Multi functional tester architecture, has created a standard tester capable of meeting comprehensively the specific nature and criticality of the requested tests. THE POWER TEST The Compact Power tester was engineered for the functional test of single-phase and three-phase motor inverters, and is based on Seica Compact Multi standard architecture. The system consists...

Compact Power SYSTEM DESIGN The Compact Power system may be considered as consisting of two separate parts. The first is the electronics required for testing, while the second includes all the customizations and specific elements to implement the test specifications. The test electronics is based on Seica modules including the ACL (internal driver and measure system tools, used by all Seica testers), the S64H (general purpose scanner board with high-isolation relays, capable of connecting up to 64 points to the 8 analog lines) and the IFUN. The latter module may host multiple...

ENERGY RECOVERY A tester for power modules implies by necessity the use of a considerable amount of energy. Aiming to reduce this consumption, Seica has installed into the Compact Multi an inverter, which is able to recover most of the energy employed. This will achieve both a direct saving on the energy consumed by the system (over 80% of the energy supplied to the load is recovered) and an indirect saving on the air-conditioning /cooling system needed to dissipate the heat produced by the load. The result is a reduction of costs and a more eco-friendly system. SAFETY AND INTEGRATION WITH...
