Keysight HEV and EV Power Converters

视频

This video introduces Keysight HEV and EV Power Converters, purpose‑built for fast‑paced electric and hybrid‑electric vehicle development. These converters provide a complete DC charging test solution for validating power‑train systems under realistic electrical, environmental, and safety conditions. Their regenerative design allows excess energy generated during power‑sink scenarios—such as battery discharge testing or regenerative braking simulation—to be recovered and returned to the grid instead of dissipated as heat, enabling safer, more efficient testing.

A scalable system architecture supports parallel operation of multiple converter modules, enabling power levels up to 1.5 MW for high‑capacity EV test scenarios. This modularity lets engineers expand test capabilities as requirements evolve, supporting everything from component‑level validation to full power‑train system testing. Automated test sequencing further accelerates development by allowing users to create, execute, and manage complex test routines tailored for production and high‑throughput environments.


Fault‑injection capabilities allow simulation of a wide range of controlled test conditions—including overvoltage, undervoltage, overcurrent, short‑circuit, and grounding faults—ensuring that EV and HEV systems meet rigorous safety and performance standards. With support for maximum module power from 20 kW to 300 kW, combining to 1.5 MW, and output capabilities up to 1500 V and 900 A, Keysight converters deliver the flexibility needed for modern EV power‑train verification.
 

Key features include:

  • Regenerative Energy Recovery: Recovers excess energy and returns it to the grid—ideal for regenerative‑braking and battery‑discharge testing.
  • Scalable Architecture: Parallel converter modules allow expansion up to 1.5 MW to meet growing test requirements.
  • Automated Test Sequencing: Create and manage complex, high‑throughput test routines for validation and production environments.
  • Safety & Fault Simulation: Simulate a range of controlled fault conditions to ensure compliance with performance and safety standards.
  • High‑Power Capability: 20 kW to 300 kW per module, up to 1500 V and 900 A, with regenerative support.
     

Keysight HEV and EV Power Converters deliver regenerative efficiency, scalable architecture, automated workflows, and fault simulation—providing a complete DC charging test solution for modern electric and hybrid‑electric vehicle power‑train development.
