2.4 Equipment

There are two recommended ways to test the EVM. The first and preferred way is to use a four-quadrant or two-quadrant power supply. The second is to use an electronic load in constant voltage mode. Testing with a constant voltage load is covered in Section 2.4.2. The following list of equipment is recommended when testing with a four-quadrant power supply.

  1. Power Supplies:

    A power supply capable of supplying 40V at 8A is required. While this part can handle larger voltage and current, larger power levels are not necessary for this procedure.

  2. Load #1:

    A Kepco load: BOP36-6M, DC Voltage from 0 to ±36V, DC current from 0 to ±6A (or higher), or equivalent. When testing without a real supercapacitor, connect 2000µF of capacitance across the input.

  3. Meters:

    Six Fluke 75 multimeters, (equivalent or better) or: three equivalent voltage meters and three equivalent current meters.

  4. Computer:

    A computer with at least one USB port and a USB cable.
