Application:
Typical application is measuring the capacity and full voltage of the batteries that serve as a backup power supply in (but not limited to):
Power plants
Telecommunication systems
Generator excitation systems
Substations
Protection and control systems
System Overview:
The Battery Load Units – BLU series of devices are stand-alone or a PC-controlled battery capacity test instruments, based on the state-of-the-art technology. Their design is deploying the most advanced power electronics solutions with coolers and fans integrated into the device.
The BLU series devices are lightweight and developed to meet a customer’s wide ranging test procedure requirements (standardized as well as customized).
Using a BLU device, the capacity test is performed in an accurate, user-friendly way in accordance with the battery testing standards (IEEE 450-2010 / 1188-2005 / 1106-2005, IEC 60896-11/22 and other relevant standards).
The capacity test/discharge can be performed at constant current, constant power, constant resistance or in accordance with a pre-selected load profile.
The discharge test can be conducted even in a case a battery remains connected to the load – by measuring the load current during the process.
DV-B Win Software:
The DV-B Win software is included in the purchase price, and all its updates are free of charge.
Using the DV-B Win software a test can be controlled, performed and observed from a PC (or notebook), and the results can be saved directly on a PC (or notebook).
Communication between the BLU and a PC (or notebook) is achieved through a USB cable.
Using DV-B Win the results can be arranged and printed for a report in a selectable format as an XLS, PDF, Word, or RTF format. Also, the possibility of importing other types of data format (jpg, png, doc) into standardized DV-B Win report is provided, as well as exporting the numerical and graphical results from DV-B Win into customizable report.
Additionally, the software provides a possibility of setting extra parameters (cell voltage, string voltage, capacity and time) for alarming and ending the test.
