Boost your fuel cell performance analysis with key metrics like polarization and power density curves, typically evaluated under optimal conditions such as temperature, humidity, electrocatalysis, and ion-exchange membrane. Utilize programmable DC electronic loads to effortlessly capture these measurements across various current or resistance profiles.

EA Elektro-Automatik’s ELR 10000 4U series of electronic loads provides a comprehensive range of dynamic loading tests, enabling precise fuel cell characterization.

To ensure product safety and stability across diverse applications, fuel cell durability testing is essential. However, this can be a time-consuming and costly process, especially for a standard 100kW fuel cell stack system.

Automotive standards demand 5,000 hours of testing, while stationary storage needs exceed 10,000 hours. Despite the use of accelerated test profiles like step and triangular potential cycles, significant energy loss can occur.

EA Elektro-Automatik’s ELR series comes equipped with an internal Function Generator for accelerated testing and a Discharging Test function for precise energy measurement results. To mitigate high operating costs, many test stations are now adopting regenerative DC electronic loads like our ELR 10000 4U series, which boasts a high regenerative efficiency of over 96%, recycling energy back into the grid and substantially reducing costs.

 

To accommodate the increasing demand for testing fuel-cell stacks operating in the 500V-750V range, EA Elektro-Automatik offers the SCB (Series-Box-Connection) option. This feature enables users to configure electronic load units either in parallel for enhanced current capability or in series for elevated voltage testing
