Battery Discharge Test Solution —Reducing Transient Inrush Current

Dec-10-2024

Power Electronics Battery

When performing battery tests, relays are often used to connect batteries and bi-directional DC power supplies. What happens the moment the relay is switched?
If the DC source is not connected to the battery properly, a large peak current may occur and break the relay, DUT or equipment itself. To reduce this inrush current, the user can either reduce the capacitance value or the voltage difference.
The Chroma 62180D-600 was used as the experimental equipment for this study.provides an application approach to reduce the inrush current.
