Testing Puts Taiwanese EV Industry In Pole Position

Read Rob White’s original article at Automotive Industries.

“Taiwan is positioning itself as a leading supplier of components for electric vehicles (EVs). It is estimated Taiwan’s production of auto electronics for EVs was worth US$3-billion in 2010, and is likely to increase three-fold in the next five years. Estimates from the Rocky Mountain Institute (a US-based research group) last year predict approximately 1 million EVs on US roads by 2015. And this is likely to go up by five times by 2020.”

How to Use RF Impedance Measurements to Ensure the Quality of Miniaturized Power Inductors

Most high-frequency and miniaturized power inductors are metal molding-type inductors. The magnetic metal powder surfaces are usually treated with an oxide layer to reduce eddy current losses at high frequencies, enhancing the usable frequency range and reducing losses and temperature rising. However, users typically cannot determine the particle size of the magnetic material and the integrity of the oxide layer after molding and sintering through visual inspection alone.

Leveraging Certificate Management Tools for Comprehensive EVSE Plug & Charge (PnC) Testing

Chroma’s PowerPro 5 software, part of its comprehensive EV test system solution, features a Certificate Management Tool that allows users to load specific certificate files (*.p12, *.pem). Using designated OEM agreements and contract certificates, the software automatically performs public/private key encryption and decryption during the test to achieve the handshake and payment processes required for ISO 15118 PnC testing.
