Testing the BOSS using a DC source and a DC Load
To test the BOSS using a DC source and load, power flow must be unidirectional, if source
cannot behave as a load. The default direction of flow is BUS to BATT with BUS connected
to the source while BATT connected to the load. If direction needs to be changed, connect
the DC source to the BATT side and the load to the BUS side, Fig.31, and follow the same
procedure outlined below.
Alencon performs this test using Magna Power Supplies and Alencon’s very own variable
voltage DC load.
