What it Takes to
Transition to Battery Testing Systems
As electrification and battery systems
become increasingly prominent in the testing domain, it's crucial to consider
the prerequisites for conducting such tests within your facility. Several
organizations are venturing into this territory, assuming they can carry out
electrification testing within their existing internal combustion engine
testing facilities, which is not the case. Certain facilities might have the
inherent capability to conduct these tests with minimal adjustments, while
others may need to perform construction of new infrastructure to meet the
stringent safety standards. It's important to acknowledge that every
organization's circumstances are unique, and there is no universally applicable
approach when it comes to battery and electrification testing.
Is my Facility Fit for Battery Testing?
While traditional fuel testing indeed
presents its own set of safety hazards, it's crucial to recognize that battery
testing introduces a distinct set of safety considerations, necessitating
specific facility structures and standards. These encompass critical factors
such as energy conversion, energy storage, thermal management, and safety,
among others. Learn more about understanding the importance of prepping for
battery testing at your facility in ACS’ feature in The
Percussive Maintenance Podcast, and here from ACS’ very own, Chris
Arnold, Managing Director, ACS Michigan.
