The ETX-16400/16401 (ETX-1640x) is a production test system that tests traction inverters, DC-DC devices, and on-board chargers (OBC). The rack includes instrumentation for power electronics, and the system uses a standardized mass interconnect to interface with the rack instrumentation. Use the ETX-1640x to perform low-voltage and communication tests and high-power and load tests.

The regulatory ID for the system is ATE-38-3D50P-*, where * may be any letter.

ETX-1640x Key Features

The ETX-1640x has the following features and the following capabilities.

  • Targets production and end of line testing applications for inverter, DC-DC, or OBC DUTs.
  • Allows for more standardization, re-use, and increased serviceability across multiple test lines because all I/O is present within the standardized mass interconnect.
  • Validates hardware presence within the rack through maintenance software. The maintenance software also allows you to test I/O connectivity at the mass interconnect using the FDT-16050.
  • Provides a rack infrastructure that can supply power for 3-phase high-power power supplies and additional components.
