Power Compliance Testing
Validate aerospace power converters, electrical distribution systems, and onboard electronics under controlled laboratory conditions. Simulate voltage fluctuations, frequency variations, harmonics, transients, sags, and surge events to verify compliance with aerospace power standards. These testing environments help engineering teams evaluate power quality, system resilience, thermal behaviour, and operational reliability before deployment.
Electrical Loads, Switches, PDUs
Aircraft electrical systems depend on reliable power distribution across multiple subsystems. Validate power distribution units (PDUs), electrical switching assemblies, actuators, auxiliary loads, and power conversion modules using configurable source and load platforms. Caltest solutions support functional verification, fault-condition testing, load simulation, and performance evaluation across complex aircraft electrical architectures.
Motor Drive and Powertrain Testing
Aerospace electrification programs increasingly rely on advanced motor drives, propulsion inverters, and high-efficiency powertrain systems. Regenerative AC and DC power platforms enable engineers to evaluate propulsion systems under realistic operating conditions while safely managing returned energy and back-EMF during dynamic testing. These solutions support performance characterization, efficiency analysis, durability testing, and powertrain validation.
Electric Aircraft
Validate electric propulsion architectures, battery systems, DC distribution networks, battery management systems (BMS), and power electronic subsystems used in emerging electric aircraft platforms. Battery emulators and bidirectional DC power systems enable accurate simulation of aircraft batteries, regenerative power flow, and operational load profiles to support functional, transient, and long-duration validation programs
Spacecraft and Satellite Testing
Support spacecraft power system development using solar array simulation, programmable power conversion testing, and satellite power architecture validation. Solar array emulators accurately replicate orbital operating conditions, including eclipse transitions, rotational effects, and varying power generation profiles, helping engineering teams evaluate spacecraft power performance before launch.
