At KEMA Labs, CESI Group's Testing, Inspection, and Certification Business Unit, we’re driving innovation in the e-mobility sector!
In an exclusive interview with electrive, Stefan Schwanck, Head of Low Voltage Labs at KEMA Labs Berlin, shared insights into our groundbreaking test bench designed for Pyroswitch DC components. These critical devices ensure passenger safety by disconnecting EV batteries in milliseconds during a crash, preventing fires and protecting lives.
Our new test bench represents a game-changing step forward:
- Simulates real-world EV conditions with low inductance (less than 10 μH).
- Operates at up to 1,500 volts and 35kA short-circuit current.
- Features an explosion-proof climatic chamber (-50°C to 150°C) for rigorous, temperature-controlled testing.
- Maximizes test efficiency with a 2F capacitor bank for sustained current flow.
Developed over four years by a dedicated team of seasoned and young experts, this system offers unparalleled capabilities for testing e-mobility components, ensuring they meet the highest safety and reliability standards.
As Stefan highlights in the interview, this innovation not only supports the adoption of electric vehicles but also has applications in other industries, such as aerospace, where electrical safety and performance are paramount.
At KEMA Labs, we are committed to shaping a safer, more sustainable future.
