EA FCTS 20920-720 — fuel cell test system 180 kW
Country: Germany · Model: FCTS 20920-720
FCTS 20920-720 discharges fuel cells with a power of up to 180 kW at 0–920 V and up to 720 A, working as an electronic load with regeneration. The rack returns the energy produced by the cell to the grid with an efficiency of up to 96,5 % instead of dissipating it in resistors.

Description
During tests a fuel cell generates energy, and at hundreds of kilowatts dissipating it as heat becomes a ventilation problem. The FCTS regenerative load removes this problem because it returns the energy to the three-phase 400 V 50 Hz grid. The tester is mounted in a 42U rack. The 0–920 V range covers both individual stacks and assembled systems for transport and stationary power. The options include water cooling, which reduces heat release in the hall, grid monitoring and insulation monitoring. Insulation monitoring is important for hydrogen benches, where the high-voltage DC part sits next to the cell cooling circuits.
How to choose
The model is chosen by stack voltage and power, and FCTS 20920-720 covers up to 920 V and 180 kW. For battery packs with the same 180 kW there is the bidirectional BPTS 20920-720, which both charges and discharges. If you need a dynamic system above 180 kW, consider ELR 21000 with a power of up to 1920 kW and a current slew rate of up to 12 A/µs. The water cooling question is settled right away, because it determines the utility connections in the laboratory.

FAQ
What fuel cell power can FCTS 20920-720 load?
Up to 180 kW at a voltage of 0–920 V and a current of up to 720 A.
Does FCTS return fuel cell energy to the grid?
Yes, it is a regenerative electronic load with an efficiency of up to 96,5 %.
What options are available for the FCTS fuel cell tester?
Water cooling, grid monitoring and insulation monitoring.
What power supply does FCTS 20920-720 need?
A three-phase 400 V 50 Hz grid; the equipment is supplied in a 42U rack.
How does FCTS 20920-720 differ from BPTS 20920-720?
The 180 kW, 920 V and 720 A parameters are the same, but FCTS works only as a load for fuel cells, while BPTS charges and discharges battery packs.
