DC Sources
Modular, Regenerative, Bi-directional DC Sources
NH Research, Inc.'s (NHR) DC Power Sources line includes the regenerative High-Voltage Bi-directional DC Source (9300), Modular Bi-directional DC Source (9200, 9210), High Current DC Source (9220), DC Grid Simulator (9410), and HiVAR AC/DC Source (9420) series. NHR's DC power sources are useful for testing designs over a wide range of DC input voltages.
NHR’s DC sources are designed for testing applications in all types of markets. We offer regenerative, bidirectional and AC/DC sources depending on your test requirements and application needs. All of our DC sources provide modular and scalable power, fast response times, advanced measurements, and built-in safety features to ensure high performance, safety and ease of use.
Regenerative bi-directional sources, grid simulators and battery/DC emulators are the engineer’s tool for testing new electric vehicles, DC fast chargers, satellite systems, solar (PV), energy storage, the utility grid, and power management systems. Simulating the bidirectional power flows to and from the grid substantially speeds up testing time and reduces energy costs.
Bidirectional DC source applications include testing batteries modules and packs, fuel cells, EV subsystems, battery/DC emulation, EV powertrain, propulsion systems, EV charging, energy storage systems, solar PV/wind, micro-grid, and power conversion. In addition, we also offer AC/DC sources for applications that require both AC and DC power.
