The Electronic Single Cell Load

H&H, manufacturer of an impressive line of electronic loads and four quadrant power supplies, has developed the new SCL series especially for testing high-current DUTs such as fuel cells and battery cells. This electronic Single Cell load can load a connected voltage source up to 1,200 A at a minimum input voltage of only 600 mV (standard models) or even (...)

Kalibra International expands with calibration ovens from Isotech

Recently , an independent expert in the field of calibration and validation, purchased no less than eight Isotech portable calibration ovens from TT&MS. The calibration department has been expanded with five Isotech Venus (temperature range -35°C to 140°C), two Jupiters (temperature range 35°C to 660°C) and one Pegasus (temperature range 150°C to 1200°C). IsoCal-6 The units are part of the award-winning IsoCal-6 series. This series of temperature calibrators is designed (...)

How battery tests ensure safety

The increasing popularity of electric vehicles has led to an increase in the need for batteries. Often, these battery cells and/or batteries are imported from Asia and it is mainly about price and not about safety. This has to change, because it can lead to dangerous situations, says T&M Consultant André Handgraaf of TT&MS. More attention from the industry would be (...)

M631, M641, Real-Resistance RTD Temperature Simulator

Meatest has designed two programmable RTD temperature simulators for the simulation of resistance-based sensors. The Meatest M631 is a high accuracy RTD simulator with a range of 16Ω to 400kΩ. This model has a basic accuracy of 0.01°C, with a resolution of 0.001°C. The decade bank itself consists of highly stable foil resistors, switched by relays resulting in a temperature coefficient of 1 (...)

Introduction of Black Body Sources (Infrared Calibration)

This overview covers dedicated black body sources for low uncertainty calibration of infrared thermometers. A range of portable primary black body sources combines high emissivity with excellent temperature uniformity. The cylindrical design minimises the effects of air movement and environmental changes. Many of the sources can be used with high purity ITS-90 Fixed Point Cells where the thermometer is calibrated (...)

The Magna-Power DBx module turns a switched-mode power supply into a power supply with linear specifications

Magna-Power introduces the optional DBx Module for almost all series of programmable Magna-Power DC power supplies. With the DBx Module, the combined system achieves up to 10x less ripple, 24-bit read-back resolution and less than 5 ppm stability in voltage or current mode control. The Magna-Power DBx Module, guarantees ultra-high stability, low ripple, high precision and high accuracy. Suitable for voltage (...)
