Regenerative Bidirectional DC Power Supply With Energy Recovery

ITECH IT6000B: Bidirectional DC Source and Regenerative Load for High-Power Test Applications

The ITECH IT6000B Series consists of regenerative bidirectional DC power supplies for test applications with changing power flow. They operate as DC sources or regenerative electronic DC loads and cover different voltage, current, and power ranges depending on the model.

In source mode, the IT6000B Series supplies DC power; in sink mode, it feeds energy back into the grid. Charge, discharge, and regenerative processes can therefore be tested without switching between a power supply and a separate load. Depending on the model, up to 2250 V and 2040 A are available, covering applications from low-voltage high-current to high-voltage testing.
The waveform generator supports arbitrary waveforms and LIST files via USB. This allows load profiles, voltage dips, starting sequences, and DC waveforms to be simulated. For automotive testing, waveforms according to DIN 40839, ISO 16750-2, and ISO 21848 are integrated. CC/CV priority supports voltage- or current-controlled test sequences.

Using SiC technology, the IT6000B Series provides up to 18 kW in 3U. In master/slave parallel operation, the power can be expanded into the megawatt range. USB, CAN, LAN, and digital I/O are standard; GPIB, analog, and RS232 are optional. The series is suitable for battery charge/discharge testing, bidirectional DC/DC converters, PV I/V simulation, and energy storage testing.

Alternative Products:

Alternatives for DC source/sink applications include the ITECH IT6000C Series, the ITECH IT6600C Series for higher power density, dual-channel operation, or scaling, and the ITECH IT-M3900B Series for compact test setups.

Does Your Voltage Profile Match the DUT?

For fast power-up tests, voltage range is only one factor. Ramp behavior, sense wiring and PC control must match your test sequence. We help you select the right IT6100B model.

Supplier

LXinstruments has been supplying ITECH equipment since 2020. When an individual instrument needs to become part of a complete test system, we support you with product selection, system sizing and integration into the automation environment. The key is to ensure that the DUT, power requirements, interfaces and test sequence work together.

We also use ITECH equipment in customized test systems. Depending on the test application, we combine power supplies, electronic loads, grid simulation and measurement technology so that the functions match both the DUT and the test sequence.
