Overview
The 3ctest APS Automotive Power Supply Voltage Change Simulator is easy to setup and use. 220V input power is required and a transformer can be sent upon request. The EMC Shop has been renting and selling these into the North American market for several years, while 3ctest has overtaken Ametek in China. Contact us to configure and order, same day shipping is available for most models.
APS Model Configuration

The most common model is the APS 40C10, a cost effective automotive transient pulse, battery supply simulator and DC voltage source. Perform load dump tests, sine wave noise and other complicated voltage variation tests as per ISO 7637 and ISO 16750-2. It can simulate multiple battery supply waveforms as per international standards and multiple automotive manufacture standards. Also, as a powerful DC source, it can supply power for DUT during automotive transient pulse test, which can meet three kinds of supply voltage.
APS series can also be used as power amplifier for magnetic field immunity test.
