How to perform DC Internal Resistance measurement with Arbin?
Mechanism explanations: Arbin’s MITS software uses pulse method to calculate IR. In order to achieve better accuracy, the software measure the IR 10 times and take the average. The pulse looks like the graph bellows: IIR is the amplitude value T2 is the Extra Control value1 I0 is the offset value IR Calculation Formula: IR […]
Enhancing Battery Testing Safety with a Door Switch Interlock System
I. Purpose and Applicability Battery testing—whether for electric vehicles, consumer electronics, or industrial systems—demands strict safety protocols. One often overlooked but critical element in test chamber safety is the door switch interlock system.
