  • Other power devices such as switches, circuit breakers, fuses and connectors SPECS

Rectified AC Load Modes

The 63800 AC & DC Electronic Load provides unique capability to simulate non-linear rectified loads for a wide range of testing applications. There are three load modes available for rectified load simulations: RLC, CP and Inrush Current. The figure below shows the typical model of a rectifier input.

Example: Inrush Current Mode

For inrush current simulation (see below), the 63800 provides an Inrush Current mode that allows the user to set different inrush current amplitude and voltage phase angle where the inrush current started.

High-Precision Three-Electrode Analysis: Solving Lithium Plating Risks in Li-ion Batteries During Fast Charging to Establish a New Safety Standard for Automotive Batteries

As electric vehicle technology advances into the fast charging era, lithium-ion batteries face increasingly severe challenges regarding safety and lifespan under high-rate charging. One of the most critical concerns is the phenomenon of lithium plating—when the charging current is too high or the temperature is too low, lithium-ions fails to intercalate effectively into the anode and instead deposit as metallic lithium on the surface of the graphite.
