Once upon a time there was an optical interrogator, large, not so handy handy, with a low sample rate, but state-of-the-art for its time. However, HBK experts did not stop there and have been improving their solutions for the past 16 years. See how our optical interrogators have evolved and what they look like today: https://www.hbm.com/index.php?id=9042&L=0&utm_source=LinkedIn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=LINKEDINMXFS_SCL_LINK_WW

Check out this article in CHARGED Electric Vehicles Magazine and learn from Mitch Marks on how HBK`s eDrive Power Analyzers can not only speed up your testing but also increase EV testing efficiency:

In order to maximize an EV’s range for a given battery capacity and vehicle weight, engineers try to eke out as much performance as possible from the electrical and mechanical systems. Using a process called efficiency mapping, they determine the “sweet spots” of a powertrain—the regions of ...

"When you're developing an electric vehicle you want it to go as far as possible and the obvious limitation is battery capacity. So one thing we can do to maximize that range is to increase the efficiency of each of our individual components." - Mitch Marks

A lightboard introduction to electric motor efficiency mapping, why it takes so long, and how to accelerate the process. Efficiency mapping is used to determ...
