Component
Main component: The electric motor
The electric motor is the main component of the electric vehicle. Its tasks include the drive and recuperation, i.e. energy recover, during the journey. Modern electric motors are impressive compared to combustion motors due to a high torque at low speeds and a high degree of efficiency (> 94%). In doing so, high currents and high voltages are applied during operation. These currents that sometimes exceed 600 V can however, present a major safety hazard, because in the event of damages to the isolation, a high voltage is applied to the housing. In the case of the user, this can lead to severe or fatal injuries. Therefore, a high-voltage of the motor is essential.

Engine test system for starter-generators
The starter-generators are tested at the end of the line following production. The contacting of the specimen is fully automatic and significantly reduces the cycle times. In addition to safety tests such as the high-voltage, insulation, and surge voltage tests, it is also necessary to have functional tests such as the rotational direction recognition, current consumption test, power measurement, locked-rotor-test and the resistance measurement.
Safety test system for stators and motors
This test system is based on our tried-and-tested surge voltage tester ST 3800L. Existing errors in winding goods as well as preliminary damages, interturn faults and insulation errors can be recognised before they lead to a failure of the motor. After the manual contacting of the DUT via the Kelvin clamps, a high-voltage test is carried out incl. ARC detection, insulation test, resistance measurement and surge voltage test.
Testing system for stators
Two test systems were required for integration into the production line in order to test the stators before and after impregnating. Both stations were setup almost identically in order to be able to use both test systems for both types of tests during peak times.
Due to the necessary flexibility, the system was developed in a universal DUT interface, which made it possible to contact all existing DUT without needing to convert to the test station. A solution with a pneumatic clamping system was selected because the short testing time was crucial. Furthermore, test adapters were developed for the polarity test, which can easily be inserted in the DUT and as a result of their high-voltage strength, they do not need to be removed during the test. Personal safety is guaranteed by means of a test cover with clamping protection.

Component
The core of the electric vehicle: Powertrain
The battery is the core of the electric vehicle, which ensures the energy supply of all other components. It is composed of thousands of parallel and serially interconnected battery cells. Due to the high energy density, there is a risk of explosion if there is a defect, which in turn can result in the loss of the vehicle or severe injuries to the user. In the event of an accident, the battery must immediately be disconnected from the high-voltage system in order to guarantee the safety of the rescue teams.
The cells and modules of the battery unit must be tested prior to use in traction batteries in order to ensure that they the meet the high requirements of the automotive industry.
Any questions? We will be pleased to answer them!
Cell input test:
- Measurement of the open circuit voltage and the internal resistance of the cells
- Recording of the open circuit and overall voltage
Testing of battery modules/battery stacks:
- High voltage test up to 6,000 V DC
End-of-line test:
- Recording of the spectral impedance (determining the alternating current resistance) in order to be able to make statements on the battery status
- Insulation test up to 6,000 V DC / 10 GOhm
- High voltage test up to 6,000 V DC, 10 mA

Put your faith in experience!
Hipot testing is one of the most important issues in the area of electrical safety. Since the foundation of SPS electronic in 1980, we have been dealing with high current and high-voltage technology, which quickly turned into our passion. Thanks to numerous projects for our customers from different sectors, we have developed unique knowhow in the course of the years, which is now also being used in the sensitive battery technology used in electromobility.

Safety test system for battery disconnect units
The main requirement of this test system for the automotive industry was to cover the respective tests that were required by law. The test sequence should be fully automatic following the one-off connection of the DUT and thus, reduce the cycle times. The contact resistances are measured in addition to the insulation resistance and high-voltage test. This requires the use of a safety-current limiting safety tester, IL 3881F, by SPS electronic. The safety-current limited high-voltage and insulation test ensures that the user does not require additional workplace protection such as a test cover or two-hand operation as per EN 50191.
Measurement systems to measure on-board distribution systems
A particular feature for the test of on-board distribution systems is the high current resistance test. In doing so, the DUT is impinged with a power source and the resistance is measured using a 4-wire system measurement setup. Furthermore, the following test are performed: High-voltage, insulation resistance, μOhm measurement, current measurement using hall sensors and current measurements using shunts.

Put your faith in experience!
If current flows through one of these devices on the earth, it is likely that it also has a cable and plug, which must be tested with regard to function and safety. Whether it is a household appliance, medical tool or motor cables, it is only of secondary importance with regard to the safety test. Thanks the numerous projects from various different sectors, we have been able to accumulate comprehensive, detailed knowledge over the last decades, which is now also being used in electromobility. Regardless of whether high current measurements or safety and functional tests – we will create individual solutions for you.

Cable testing system with a reduced processing time
Due to the functionality of the automatic creation of the continuity test in new products, it was possible to clearly reduce processing time. Additional testing possibilities include: High-voltage, insulation and resistance tests.
Testing system for motor cables
This compact test system was developed to test different motor cables with lengths up to 50 metres. The universal adapter interface guarantees the easy integration of different devices under test. This contains a freely switchable high-voltage matrix as well as a freely switchable continuity test to test the wiring. Furthermore, the PE connection to the connector housing is also tested.
PC-controlled cable test system with resistance, high-voltage and insulation resistance test
The requirement of this system for the automotive industry lies in testing different cables with up to 10 wires and different plug-in connectors for electric motors. Despite, the small distances of the individual terminal lugs, a high-voltage test with up to 5,500 V AC and 6,000 V DC should be possible.

For power-assistance: The electric motor
The pedelec motor supports the driver, while the driver steps on the pedals. Thus, the pedelec is perfect for the elderly or people with knee problems, and it is also experiencing a boom among other groups of people. A direct link between man and machine is a prerequisite for a detailed test in order to minimise the risk of injury.
Since the motor is self-propelled, but can also be driven via the pedals, the requirements of the functional test are very comprehensive. For the functional test, the motor is mechanically contacted to both pedals and operated via two independent load machines.
