Meeting Industry Needs for LED Driver Testing

LED LightingLED Lighting has proven to be more efficient and have a longer life than the Incandescent and fluorescent lights. The Led is now available in almost all applications for lighting from Residential, Commercial and Industrial Lighting. Uses include the full range from Mood Lighting, Task Lighting, Security Lighting, Signage, and Computer / TV displays just to name a few.

Because LED’s are a current driven DC device they require a converter so they can be powered from an AC voltage. These Power supplies for LED lighting are most commonly referred to as LED Drivers. LED Drivers have different operating characteristics from the typical AC to DC, and DC to DC Power Supplies used for most electronic equipment. They are often a constant Current output rather than a Constant Voltage Output.

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.
