Advanced DC Power System Analysis with ZX-CFD Integrated Testing Instrument

Time:2026-01-08 Number:1

For technicians and engineers responsible for the maintenance and validation of DC power systems—critical in telecommunications, utilities, and industrial facilities—the ZX-CFD DC System Integrated Testing Instrument represents a comprehensive, automated solution for performance verification and battery health assessment. This integrated instrument consolidates multiple test functions into a single, user-friendly platform, enabling precise evaluation of system integrity.

Core Functionality and Design Philosophy

The ZX-CFD is engineered to perform essential tests for any DC backup or distribution system, including:

1.Stabilized Voltage & Current Accuracy Testing: Verifies the output precision of rectifiers and chargers under varying conditions.

2.Ripple Coefficient Measurement: Quantifies AC ripple voltage superimposed on the DC output, a key indicator of charger health and potential battery degradation.

3.Programmable Battery Discharge Testing: Assesses actual battery bank capacity and performance through configurable discharge profiles.

At its core, the instrument employs a robust ARM and DSP processor architecture, coupled with 16-bit Flash memory, ensuring reliable data acquisition, processing, and storage. Its modular design separates the high-precision three-phase digital voltage regulator (15KVA, 50A) from the discharge load unit, enhancing flexibility and reliability.

Key Technical Features for the Practitioner

1.Full Automation & Real-Time Monitoring: Once parameters are set via the intuitive touch-screen interface, the system automates the entire test sequence: adjusting AC input, applying load, recording measurements (including individual cell and bank voltages), and safely terminating the test. This allows technicians to monitor tests in real-time without constant manual intervention.

2.Comprehensive Data Management: With 128Mbit of onboard Flash storage, the device can store numerous test reports. Data is easily transferred to a PC via USB or RS232 interfaces for in-depth analysis using the dedicated DC system analysis software. This software enables powerful data processing, including trend graphing, detailed report generation, and accurate calculations.

3.High-Precision Measurement Capabilities: The instrument provides laboratory-grade accuracy in a field-ready device:

DC Voltage: 0–280V ±0.5%

Ripple Voltage: 0–10V ±0.5%

DC/Discharge Current: 0–100A ±1% (customizable to higher ranges, e.g., 200A for 48V systems)

4.Robust Protection & Upgradeability: Built-in protection functions allow for automatic or manual test termination to ensure safety. Future-proofing is achieved through software upgrades via a standard USB drive.
