Lithium-ion cells gradually discharge even when they are not connected to anything. Some self-discharge is normal. However, excess self-discharge indicates potentially catastrophic problems within the ...

“Lightweight, compact, powerful and easy to handle” were the criteria when the engineering team of BAUR GmbH were developing the new device - PD-TaD60 - for partial discharge measurement and location.

Partial discharge (PD) measurement has been used for several decades to assess the condition of high voltage (HV) and medium voltage (MV) electrical apparatus. In the past, the application was mostly ...

Texas Instruments tells us that Battery-monitoring systems are used to estimate state of health (SOH) and state of charge (SOC), especially in Electric Vehicles (EVs). To get detailed information ...

One characteristic of lithium-ion cells is a phenomenon called self-discharge. The concept of self-discharge is simple: Take a cell, charge it up, measure its open-circuit voltage (OCV), and let it ...

For more than 50 years, companies have performed partial discharge (PD) testing on electrical assets as part of ongoing predictive maintenance programs. Data obtained through PD testing and monitoring ...

Weichai Power has developed a spark plug heat rating measurement method and system using spark discharge current for precise evaluation. By controlling discharge current and measuring temperature ...

From cell phones to electric vehicles, every user is concerned about runtime. System designers work diligently to maximize runtime using one of two approaches: design the battery-powered system to ...
