From power conversion to battery to electrical safety, our test systems will maximize your time, improve your validation process, and increase your throughput.
High precision, integrated battery charge / discharge cycle test systems designed for lithium ion and other chemistries. Advanced features include regenerative discharge systems that recycles energy from the battery back into the channels in the system or to the grid. Systems are configurable and flexible with multiple channel capabilities that can be upgraded as testing requirements change.
Test instrumentation that addresses the many types of new electronic devices and applications that recycle power back to the grid or must sink and source current.
AC Power Supplies designed to satisfy both automated test system and laboratory benchtop requirements.
Rigorous testing to industry regulatons and standards for the safe operation of on-grid products.
Programmable DC Power Supplies with advanced features for lab or rack-mounted applications.
AC and DC loads are designed to simulate an electrical load from a power source to test and evaluate its performance under various conditions.
Designed for both single-phase and multiple phase measurements of AC power signals and related parameters common to most electronic products.
Inductance (L), capacitance (C), and resistance (R) measurement of components during R&D, production, QA, and incoming inspection.
Measurement functions including DC voltage/current, AC voltage/current, frequency, diode, continuity, temperature and much more.
Electrical safety tests to comply with IEC, UL, TUV, CSA, EN, and other electrical safety requirements.
The flexibility of our battery test equipment provides customers a test environment specifically for their application requirements.
Power conversion within an electric vehicle (EV) includes AC or DC EVSE (EV Supply Equipment), onboard charger, DC-DC converter, and motor driver. Chroma’s EV automated test equipment addresses the specialized requirements involved in testing the power electronics of electric vehicles during design validation as well as production. The benefits include flexibility, speed, and test data recording, as well as providing statistical analytical reports for design review and product improvement.
High precision, integrated battery cycling and energy storage test solutions designed for lithium ion and other battery chemistries. From R&D to end of line, we provide advanced battery test features, including regenerative discharge systems that recycle energy sourced by the battery back to the channels in the system or to the grid.
Aerospace and Defense fuels innovation for emerging markets and led the development of the technology used today. In turn, research and development teams are faced with new challenges every day. Chroma helps to minimize test challenges by creating leading-edge power conversion test equipment and complete automated test systems.
Chroma provides LED testing solution which include: programmable AC and DC Sources, high precision Power Meters, and LED Load Simulator specifically designed for LED power drivers. Chroma is also able to provide Automated Test Systems suitable for R&D, QA qualifications and mass production.
Chroma manufactures a complete line of test equipment to measure the electrical behavior and characterization of capacitors, inductors, resistors, and wound components to the most current of specifications. Characterization tests include inductance, capacitance, resistance, impedance, dissipation factor, quality factor, leakage current, and insulation resistance.
IEC60601-1 is mainly intended for product development where safety considerations must be taken into account early in the design phase of a product, however much of it applies to production line testing to ensure manufacturer are shipping safe products. Vital areas of medical device electrical safety testing include hipot test or dielectric breakdown, leakage current, insulation resistance and ground bond testing.
Power conversion test equipment for design verification and functional testing demands high precision, reliability, and programmability for the user. When selecting test equipment, UUT protection, long term support, overall cost, and space required must also be important factors.
Product safety standards contain three primary sets of safety compliance test requirements: (1) constructional specifications related to parts and the methods of assembling, securing, and enclosing the device and its associated components, (2) performance specifications or “type tests” – the actual electrical and mechanical tests to which the test device sample is subjected, and (3) production line tests which are required on all products.
A photovoltaic or PV inverter, converts the direct current (DC) output of a solar cell or array into an alternating current (AC) that can be fed directly into the electrical grid (Grid Tie), used by a local electrical grid (Off-Grid), or both (Hybrid Inverters). The PV Inverter is a key component in a photovoltaic system, allowing the use of household and commercial AC powered devices.
