The Keysight SL1810A is a high-power regenerative DC emulator engineered for electric vehicle battery emulation in charging test environments. This modular unit delivers 100 kW of bidirectional power flow with integrated DC voltage and current controllers, operating at selectable voltage levels of 1000 V, 1200 V, or 1500 V and up to 300 A. Built on High-Voltage Silicon Carbide (HV-SiC) technology, it achieves up to 96% efficiency in both source and sink modes while regenerating absorbed power back to the grid, reducing cooling costs and energy consumption.
