Industrial power tester simulates and measures lifetime performance
The instrument tests the reliability of power electronic components that are increasingly used in industries such as automotive and transportation including hybrid and electrical vehicles and trains, power generation and converters, and renewable energy applications such as wind turbines. It is claimed to be the only commercially available thermal testing product that combines both power cycling and thermal transient measurements with structure function analysis while providing data for real-time failure-cause diagnostics.
Both power cycling and thermal transient measurements are conducted on the MicReD Power Tester 1500A, without needing to remove the components from the test environment. A technician or engineer is able to see the failure as it progresses and determine the exact time/cycle and cause.
The MicReD Power Tester 1500Ais based on the Mentor Graphics T3Ster advanced thermal tester for accurate thermal characterization of semiconductor device packages and LEDs. A user-friendly touch-screen interface allows users to record a broad range of information during test, such as current, voltage and die temperature sensing; while offering a detailed structure function analysis that records changes in the package’s thermal structure.
