Configuration C:
Multiple e-loads and Multiple power supplies, plus 1 test
object (E.U.T), for raising the total performance.
The load combination and the power supply combination
create in each case a total system with a defined power. It is
necessary also here to match the nominal values of the two
systems. i.e an 80 V DC output of the loads to a max. 80 V
DC output of the power supplies.
3.9.3.3 Application example:
Charging and discharging a battery, 24 V/400 Ah, using the wiring example in configuration A.
•
Power supply PSI 9080-120 2U set to: Imax = 50 A, Pmax = 3000 W
•
Electronic load ELR 9080-170 set to: Imax = 100 A, Pmax = 3500 W, U = 0 V or any other minimum value to
which the battery shall be discharged to
•
Assumption: battery has a voltage of 26 V at test start
1.
Discharge of the battery to 24 V
Requirements: Voltage on the power supply set to 24 V, DC output of power supply and DC input of load activated
Reaction: the e-load will load the battery with a maximum of 100 A in order to discharge it to 24 V. The power
supplies no current at this moment, because the battery voltage is still higher than what is adjusted on the power
supply. The load will gradually reduce the input current in order to maintain the battery voltage at 24 V. Once the
battery voltage has reached 24 V with a discharge current of approx. 0 A, the voltage will be maintained at this
level by charging from the power supply.
2.
Charging the battery to 27 V
Requirements: Voltage on the power supply set to 27 V
Reaction: the power supply will charge the battery with a maximum current of 50 A, which will gradually reduce with
increasing voltage as a reaction to the changing internal resistance of the battery. The load absorbs no current at
this charging phase, because it is controlled via the Share bus to set 27 V, which is still higher than the actual bat-
tery voltage. When reaching 27 V, the power supply will deliver only the current needed to maintain battery voltage.
