PV Inverter Test Solutions

Sep 2nd, 11 / 0 Comments

Solar PanelA PV system is an energy system which directly converts energy from the sunlight into electricity. Once light hits the solar cell (array), electricity is generated and the DC is collected at a PV inverter.

PV inverter is a device that changes DC power to AC power and is also a key component in PV systems. There are two main types of PV systems, Grid Connected or Off Grid. Grid connected systems are usually installed on a building and provide electricity directly into the mains supply. Off grid systems are usually used where power is required but access to a mains supply is unavailable.

Chroma provides PV inverter testing solutions based on its twenty-five years of experience in power electronics testing.

LED Driver Test Solutions

Mar 11th, 11 / 2 Comments

A Light Emitting Diode (LED), with its low power consumption, compact size, long life duration and versatility make it ideal for lighting and illumination applications. LEDs have found its applications in LCD monitor/TV backlights, street lighting, automobile lighting, interior lighting, outdoors large screen displays, consumer electronics and various other applications.

LED drivers are used to provide the power to the LEDs, and are usually designed as a constant current source due to the light emitting characteristics of the LEDs. Although LED drivers’ functions and characteristics differ from the general switch mode power supply (SMPS), the components used, the design topology and the testing requirements are very similar. Chroma is able to provide LED testing solution based on its twenty-five years of experience in providing power electronics testing solutions. These solutions include: Programmable AC and DC Sources, high precision Power Meters, and Electronic Loads specifically designed for LED drivers. Chroma is also able to provide Automated Test Systems suitable for R&D, QA qualifications and mass production.
