A DC electronic load that can simulate LED electrical characteristics in a module + mainframe configuration.

The LED driver supplies the energy that serves as the light source for the LED and is designed as a constant current source for the LED. The characteristics of an LED driver differ from those of a typical switching power supply, but the structure is very similar. To evaluate an LED driver, it is possible to perform operational checks using actual LEDs, resistors, and electronic loads with CR/CV modes, but it can be challenging to meet the testing conditions. When evaluating an LED driver with a resistor, the relationship between voltage and current becomes linear, as shown by the blue line, which does not fully utilize the characteristics of the LED. When using a DC electronic load with CR/CV modes, it is desirable for both CR and CV modes to operate stably. However, during LED ON/OFF tests or dimming tests, the protection circuit of the LED driver may cause instability in the operation of the electronic load, posing a risk of not being able to conduct the tests successfully. Using actual LEDs as a load can lead to degradation issues over long-term use and requires significant labor to test various types of LED drivers. Chroma has prepared the 63110A/63113A/63115A, based on the 6310A series, to solve the testing issues for LED drivers.

A low-cost, compact DC power supply capable of simulating changes in sunlight and time series variations of solar cells, as well as evaluating MPPT characteristics.

One of the most anticipated uses as a next-generation energy source is solar power generation systems. The efficiency of converting the direct current voltage/current generated from solar panels depends on the performance of the power conditioner.

In summer construction sites, the surface temperature of the ground plates and the heat reflection can affect the working environment. In particular, steel plates tend to retain heat when exposed to sunlight, making it a challenge to implement heatstroke prevention measures and improve the site environment for workers. Hyper CLT ground plates are civil engineering materials that utilize wood CLT. As wooden ground plates, they can be used for temporary roads, access routes, heavy machinery work yards, material storage areas, and pedestrian pathways, serving as a versatile alternative to steel plates in various civil engineering sites. In actual sites, there are cases where the surface temperature can differ by about 20 degrees compared to steel plates, making them an easy-to-suggest material for reducing heat reflection and preventing heatstroke in summer. The 5×10 plate weighs approximately 230 kg, and the 5×20 plate weighs about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to handle even with small machinery, which also helps reduce construction burdens. Additionally, they feature noise reduction, environmental consideration, and CO2 fixation, which are unique to wood. As a registered technology with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under NETIS "TH-250021-A," these ground plates are also easy to utilize for innovative ideas and safety measures in public works. Companies looking to improve summer site environments are encouraged to consider Hyper CLT ground plates.

Japan is among the top 10 countries in the world with frequent earthquakes. The 2020 White Paper on Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has also reported an increase in the probability of significant earthquakes occurring. For the Nankai Trough earthquake, the probability of an earthquake with a magnitude of 8 to 9 occurring within the next 30 years is estimated to be 70 to 80%. At Hotron, we recommend the introduction of seismic devices for earthquake measures in buildings and equipment. The seismic device 'HK-2' is a product that automatically performs various controls that have been pre-set when it detects strong shaking equivalent to a seismic intensity of 5 lower or higher. For example, it can automatically execute actions such as: "Open automatic doors and gates to secure evacuation routes and access for emergency vehicles" "Transmit signals to the control room and stop facility equipment" "Unlock the keys to locked lockers" "Automatically play voice guidance" ◎ For more details, please download the materials or contact us.
