The bidirectional Keysight DC power supply RP7953A combines a powerful DC source and regenerative electronic load in one device (2-quadrant mode). Its integrated safety functions protect both user and DUT, so that even critical battery states can be safely emulated. The excess energy emitted by the test object can be fed back into the utility grid with little loss, which reduces the energy costs for power consumption and cooling.
The RP7900A series renewable energy system can continuously lower up to 100% of its rated current indefinitely. The transitions between source and sink current occur seamlessly and without changing the output behavior. With the battery emulation function, different power and load conditions can be simulated, enabling realistic characterization of battery capacity and service life. Programmable resistors take into account the real output impedances of a battery and thus emulate its operation in different states of charge.
Use the RP7953A power system as a power source or electronic load, just like a battery:
- Continuous 2-quadrant operation as power source and sink
- Emulation of high-performance batteries with programmable resistors
- Autoranging for maximum flexibility
- Integrated arbitrary function generator for simulating transients
- Reducing cooling and energy costs through regenerative design
