Initial Situation
A certain company from the energy storage sector contacted TPS Elektronik with a critical challenge. They were developing a next-generation battery management platform for use in both grid-scale storage and industrial applications. For this project, the devices needed to pass strict electromagnetic compatibility testing in order to gain CE approval and comply with international standards.
The previous supplier had limited expertise in EMC testing and failed to achieve compliance. The company only had one old prototype available for evaluation, with no technical documentation, and this prototype failed every electromagnetic compatibility test performed. During measurements, severe interference was detected, making the product unsuitable for market introduction.
The main challenges were:
- Understanding what is electromagnetic compatibility testing and how to integrate it into product development.
- Lack of access to professional electromagnetic compatibility testing equipment.
- Need for a partner experienced in the electromagnetic compatibility test equipment testing service market.
- Requirements for both industrial electronics and batteries EMC testing.
- Shielding and housing redesign to comply with the electromagnetic compatibility shielding and test equipment market requirements.
Therefore, the company turned to TPS Elektronik, known for delivering comprehensive EMC testing services across industries.
