1.0 Introduction
1.1 Overview
The MT-30 is a bi-directional, computer-controlled two channel DC power processing
system offering superior accuracy and flexibility. The system was specifically designed
for testing (i.e., "cycling") electric and hybrid-electric vehicle components and
subsystems. Examples are APU’s, flywheels, motors, inverters, batteries, fuel cells,
capacitors, and more.
The MT-30 is an ideal test system for a wide range of DC loads in addition to batteries;
offering more capability than a traditional power supply system. The MT-30 uses the
bi-directional characteristic of the electric utility (it can deliver and absorb power) to
meet the needs of both uni-directional and bi-directional loads (as used in this manual,
load refers to a device or system connected to the MT-30 for the purpose of receiving
and/or delivering DC power).
Power is transferred from the utility to the load, or vice-versa. Using the utility to
absorb power eliminates the need for external resistive loads and conserves energy
normally lost. In addition, the MT-30 incorporates special power processing
algorithms, enabling the user to perform a wide variety of testing.
