Conquering the High Power Source-Sink Test Challenge

Why this Webcast is important:
When engineers test the battery management system (BMS), the battery, or other bidirectional or regenerative power components in their system or product, they need a solution that can both source power and sink power to satisfy the bidirectional power capabilities of their units under test. The different sourcing and sinking test needs for these various components are examined followed by exploring the advantages and disadvantages of three source-sink solutions for addressing their test needs; a non-overlapping source-sink solution, an overlapping source-sink solution, and an integrated source-sink solution.

During this webcast, going beyond sourcing and sinking for certain specialized test system capabilities will be reviewed. This will include measurements, protection features, and output controls that are more useful being integral with the source-sink capability, as opposed to being externally added on.

Who should view this webcast:
Engineers testing battery management (BMS) systems, batteries, or other bidirectional or regenerative power components in development, design validation, and manufacturing.
