FAQ
A bidirectional DC power supply can both source and sink power, making it ideal for battery cycling, energy storage testing, EV powertrain validation, and regenerative system testing.
A bidirectional programmable DC power supply can both source power to a device and absorb power from it, enabling controlled two‑way energy flow during testing.
A standard DC supply delivers fixed or manually adjusted output.
A programmable DC power supply allows:
- Precise digital control of voltage and current
- Remote operation via software
- Automated test sequences
- Data logging and protection settings
They are commonly used for:
- Power electronics testing
- Battery and BMS validation
- EV and EV subsystem testing
- Industrial electronics
- R&D, validation, and production testing
Typical industries include:
- EV, automotive, and Battery
- Renewable energy and energy storage
- Industrial automation
- Aerospace and defense
Choose a bidirectional DC power supply when:
- The DUT can return energy
- Battery or ESS testing is required
- Regenerative operation is important
- You want to reduce test system complexity
Yes. In sink mode, a bidirectional DC power supply functions as a programmable electronic load, eliminating the need for a separate load instrument.
Yes. They are commonly used for:
- EV powertrain subsystems
- On‑board chargers (OBC)
- DC‑DC converters
- V2G and bidirectional charging development
