Keysight’s New Regenerative Power Supplies Reduce Cooling and Electricity Costs with an Eco-friendly Design
June 16 2020 - 11:00AM
Business Wire
Two new models - 20 kW and up to 2,000 V -
provide high power and voltage for battery and electronics testing
in hybrid-electric/electric vehicles (HEV/EV)
Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS), a leading technology
company that helps enterprises, service providers and governments
accelerate innovation to connect and secure the world, today
announced it is expanding the company’s RP7900 Series with two new
bidirectional, regenerative DC power supplies providing integrated
safety features that protect people and devices under test (DUT).
The unique regenerative design of the new models enables the energy
normally consumed to be returned to the grid cleanly, saving costs
associated with energy consumption and cooling.

The automotive industry is using larger batteries to extend the
range of electric vehicles (EV) and higher voltage electronics to
reduce charging time. In fact, MarketsandMarkets estimates nearly
39 percent CAGR growth by 2020 for high voltage batteries to
support longer range cars and larger electric vehicles including
buses and trucks. As the demand for high power grows, so does the
need for high power test equipment. However, high power
applications in aerospace defense and infrastructure, as well as
automotive and energy, present unique challenges spanning site
preparation necessities and safety requirements when transitioning
from low power to high power.
Keysight’s RP7900 is a part of the company’s HEV/EV Power
Converter Test Solutions which enable customers to deploy
high-voltage, high-power solutions that meet the fast paced,
high-growth demands of the hybrid-electric/electric vehicle
(HEV/EV) market.
By combining the seamless source and load functionality into a
compact 3U-high package, Keysight’s RP7900 Series of regenerative
power supplies minimizes high-power test costs by shrinking floor
space usage, reducing heat dissipation and maintaining uptime.
These new power supplies, available in two models - 20 kW and up
to 2,000 V - offer the following key features and benefits:
- Two-quadrant, bidirectional sourcing and sinking capability
allows for seamless, uninterrupted transitions between sourcing and
sinking current without changing the power supply’s output
characteristics or introducing any disruptive behavior.
- Autoranging output characteristic improves flexibility over
rectangular, or traditional, output characteristic power supplies
due to expanded power curve, which delivers more voltage and
current combinations in one power supply.
- Provides fast output speed, sub-millisecond command-processing
time (≤ 1 ms), and output list that help achieve significant
throughput gains in testing.
- Offers simultaneous voltage and current measurement
capabilities delivering high accuracy and resolution.
- Reduces rack space requirements due to superior power density
in the power range of 20 kW in 3U height.
“The next generation of hybrid-electric and electric vehicle
power electronics developed and manufactured by our customers
require higher voltage, increased bandwidth and exceptional control
capability in design qualification and manufacturing test,” said
Christopher Cain, vice president and general manager of Keysight’s
Electronic Industrial Products. “Keysight’s RP7900 series power
supply capabilities enable automated testing to accelerate time to
market and lower operational costs, while the unique regenerative
capability delivers substantial operational savings as load-current
is converted into AC grid power, instead of simply dissipating as
heat that must be further managed in the test environment.”
