New Test Facility for Hybrid, Electric and Fuel Cell Drive Train
Mooser EMC Technik GmbH has expanded its service portfolio towards EMC testing on Hybrid, Electric and Fuel Cell drive train components. It is now possible to offer EMC benchmarking and qualification of most recent innovative systems and components to vehicle manufacturers and suppliers. For this purpose the company features the latest state of the art testing and measurement equipment.
German EMC consultant Mooser EMC Technik GmbH (Ludwigsburg next to Stuttgart) and the affiliated company Mooser Consulting GmbH (Egling close to Munich) offer a complete service portfolio. Clearly focussing on automotive electronics, the company’s services cover EMC studies, preparation of technical requirements documents, EMC development support up to entire turnkey solutions and qualification tests in the field of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).
In 2009 Mooser GmbH has expanded its service portfolio towards EMC testing on Hybrid, Electric and Fuel Cell drive train components for the automotive segment.
“We are proud to offer 20 state of the art absorber / shielded chambers, bench test stations and simulation equipment on 3000 m2 lab area at both locations combined. As of today there is presumably no other neutral and independent EMC test laboratory of this size and service portfolio”, said Managing Director Mr. Jakob Mooser.
Components and systems such as power management / battery, electric power train, inverter or even an overall Hybrid drive train system can be EMC tested under real static and dynamic operating conditions, using a dedicated 100 kW high voltage power supply. For dynamic test cycles, battery simulators and a 100 kW electric motor are available as load simulators. Together with supplementary test equipment the overall test set-up forms a complete and realistic drive train system. Complex system operating modes such as recuperation during engine braking can be easily emulated using this system.
In addition to EMC tests, the company also offers entire electrical on-board power system tests such as superimposed alternating power, micro cuts and more, including high voltage components. Ambient test temperatures can be set between -45 and +185°C within a testing volume of max. 1 m3.
Using this equipment, Mooser GmbH can perform tests based on all existing passenger car and commercial vehicle specifications. This makes the EMC expert an ideal partner for customers intending to perform EMC testing of their products at a neutral and independent test laboratory. In addition to small and medium-sized companies that can avoid huge investments in testing facilities, many major automotive suppliers regularly benefit from expanding their own capacities during bottleneck periods by consulting the EMC expert.
The company’s maxim is to provide optimum support through substantial expertise and the fastest possible reaction and delivery times – true to the principle that only satisfied customers once will become regular customers.
In 2006 the Mooser EMC Technik GmbH was established in Ludwigsburg, Germany as an affiliated company of Mooser Consulting GmbH (Egling near Munich, Germany), founded in 1989. At both locations combined more than 60 highly qualified employees are currently working on EMC solutions.
Based on active cooperative efforts in all national and international automotive EMC standardisation committees, both companies are deeply involved in the most recent EMC developments – also and in particular for the benefit of all clients. Both test laboratories hold full accreditations based on ISO-17025 and the North American AEMCLRP standard. The Mooser GmbH offers EMC testing services based on all automotive factory standards for passenger cars and commercial vehicles in Europe, USA and Asia. The service portfolio also includes testing based on avionics standards, basic military standards and industrial standards as well as testing according to EU directives. Due to KBA (German Federal Motor Transport Authority) accreditation the test laboratories are also authorised to perform type approval testing according to EU vehicle directives.
