View Models & Options

High Efficiency Regenerative Operation

The RGS Series is engineered with a regenerative design that recovers more than 90% of the energy used during testing. This capability not only reduces the overall electricity consumption of the facility but also minimizes the need for extensive cooling infrastructure. By returning power to the grid, the simulator maintains a cool operating environment even during high-power stress tests.

Versatile 2-in-1 Test Functionality

This series serves as both a grid simulator and an optional AC/DC electronic load, providing a flexible solution for testing bidirectional devices like V2G EV chargers. It allows engineers to simulate complex grid disturbances and load profiles within a single integrated system. This dual-mode capability streamlines the testing process and reduces the amount of equipment required in the lab.
