Argentona, Barcelona – CINERGIA recently announced the launch of the SiC-RSe, an enhanced version of its renowned Rack Series. This groundbreaking power converter introduces a revolutionary “Mixed Mode” feature, enabling concurrent multi-test execution and setting a new standard for versatility and efficiency in power testing.
The SiC-RSe, available in 22.5kW and 30kW power ranges, transforms power testing with its new Mixed Mode capability. Unlike traditional all-in-one converters that allow only one function at a time, the SiC-RSe enables users to simultaneously run multiple tests across different channels.
This means you can combine and use the different functionalities at the same time – AC Grid Simulator, AC Electronic Load, DC Bidirectional source/sink, Battery Tester/Emulator, or PV Panel Emulator –, using a single power converter as a full testing platform on its own.
Key Features of the SiC-RSe
- Mixed Mode: Independent channel configuration for concurrent testing, maximizing resource utilization and flexibility.
- Highest Efficiency on the Market: Industry-leading efficiency in both sourcing and regenerating energy, resulting in significant cost savings and reduced environmental impact.
- 19-inch Rack Format: Compact and robust design for seamless integration into standard testing environments.
- 7-inch Touchscreen: Intuitive local control interface for direct access to all functionalities, simplifying operation.
