The ETX-16301/16309 (ETX-1630x) is a production test system that tests traction inverters. The rack includes instrumentation for power electronics, and the system uses a standardized mass interconnect to interface with the rack instrumentation. Use the ETX-1630x to perform low-voltage and communication tests, high-power and load tests, and high-current pulse tests.

The regulatory ID for the system is ATE-38-3Y50P-*, where * may be any letter.

ETX-1630x Key Features

The ETX-1630x has the following features and the following capabilities.

  • Targets production and end of line testing applications for inverter DUTs.
  • Sources up to 9 kW through a high-power power supply.
  • Allows for more standardization, re-use, and increased serviceability across multiple test lines because all I/O is present within the standardized mass interconnect.
  • Allows a current pulse up to 1200 A through a pulser, allowing you to test overcurrents and perform calibration at the DUT output stage.
  • 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. The FDT-16050 is compatible only with the ETX-16301.
