Product overviewThe I-TS-3842 is a single-channel DC source / sink (part of the I-TS high-performance test systems). It is a high-dynamic, bidirectional DC power supply with continuous and seamless transition from source to sink operation, targeted at battery pack / fuel cell / e-Powertrain tests, laboratory uses and industrial applications. The system can be supplemented with selected options and is delivered in ready-to-use standard configuration.
