Tetranes product offering

Product offering

Core offering

Tetranes develops and sells proprietary test and measurement hardware — including the ITB Inverter Test Bench, HSI6 Hyper-SiC-Inverter 6-Phase, FRPS FPGA-Rapid-Prototyping-System, and UC4XT battery cell holders — for power electronics, battery systems, electric machines, and control technology applications. The company complements these hardware products with engineering services including battery lifetime determination, battery ageing and diagnostic measurement (EIS, ICA, DVA, dilatometry), and custom hardware/software development for power electronics and battery management systems. Customers are industrial firms and R&D departments across battery, power-electronics, and electric-drive sectors.

Product overview

Tetranes offers a portfolio of precision testing and rapid prototyping products for power electronics and battery systems. The core product line consists of three integrated systems: the ITB (Inverter Test Bench) combines the HSI6 and FRPS into a Power-in-the-Loop testing solution; the HSI6 (Hyper-SiC-Inverter 6-Phase) is a multifunctional SiC-based inverter for converter testing and insulation aging; and the FRPS (FPGA-Rapid-Prototyping-System) provides a modular FPGA-based control platform. Additionally, the UC4XT battery cell holders support diagnostic equipment for cylindrical cells. The company also provides associated services including battery lifetime determination, battery aging and diagnostic measurement services, and custom hardware/software development for power electronics and battery management systems.

Products and services

ITB – Inverter Test Bench Power-in-the-Loop testing device that combines the HSI6 Hyper-SiC-Inverter and FRPS FPGA-Rapid-Prototyping-System for comprehensive testing of power electronics. Enables realistic reproduction of operating points in the fundamental-wave behavior of electrical machines without requiring motor-generator test rigs. Specifications: 1200 VDC, 1000 A RMS, 5 kHz fundamental, 200 kHz PWM. For power electronics manufacturers and developers.
HSI6 – Hyper-SiC-Inverter 6-Phase Universal multifunctional inverter for testing converters such as servo drives and for insulation aging of winding goods like chokes, coils, and motors/stators. Features six output phases, switching frequencies up to 200 kHz, 1200 VDC, 1000 A, water-cooled 19" rack design with integrated FPGA-based control, current, voltage, and temperature sensors. Enables motor emulation (PMSM/ASM) and insulation testing 5-20x faster than standard long-term tests. For power-electronics manufacturers, drive developers, and winding-goods producers.
