The battery cell is the smallest component for converting chemical energy into electrical energy (galvanic element). Mono cell, e.g. zinc/carbon or alkaline/manganese element or lithium button cell.
Bidirectional
Bidirectional describes the property of devices or interfaces that can operate in both directions, e.g., transducers or chargers that can both send and receive energy or data.
Bidirectional AC Source/Load
A bidirectional AC source/load supplies adjustable AC voltage to the device under test and absorbs AC active power during reverse power flow. Depending on the device design, the absorbed energy is dissipated as heat via internal load paths or fed back into the supply grid through a regenerative stage.
Bidirectional DC-Source/Load
A bidirectional DC source/load is a DC test instrument that can both supply and load devices under test. It is used to test batteries, energy storage systems, chargers or DC/DC converters in both energy flow directions.
Bidirectional load
A bidirectional load is a test instrument that can handle electrical energy in two directions: it can apply a load to a device under test and, depending on the design, also provide or feed back energy.
BOBC (Bidirectional on Board Charger)
The BOBC is an energy converter system used for charging and discharging energy storage devices in electric vehicles.
BSIM (Berkeley Short-Channel IGFET Model)
BSIM is a compact model for analyzing the circuit behavior of MOSFETs (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors).
Burn-in Test
The "Burn-in Test" ist the testing of components and devices under extreme conditions to determine their functionality and reliability in continuous operation.
