BVM Portable Pelicase PC – Aerospace & Renewable Energies : Portable Electrical Test Unit – Integration of suitable electronics into Pelicase 1400 enclosure.
Design Requirements
Re-design of prototype so it conformed to ‘design for manufacture’ best practices making production ready.
Integration of customers Smart Li-Ion ‘hot swap’ battery backs to enable remote working for sustainable 8 hour periods
Integration of active couplers & bond probes – consisting of re-design of the bond probes to ensure they were manufacturable in relation to routing of internal wiring.
Overall light weight solution (no more than 7kgs/15lbs) to make it portable
Aerospace & Renewable Energies – Portable Electrical Test Unit
The portable system is deployed for measuring resistance on aircraft & large structures such as wind turbines or infrastructure at risk from lightning strikes – testing bond resistance between structural elements and loop resistance and integrity of cable shields and bonding straps.
