Probably the two most demanding power electronics applications for HIL testing are in the Electric Vehicle (EV) domain, namely: high performance motor drive, and battery chargers. Such applications pose a significant challenge for real time simulation fidelity. Our answer to the challenge is the 4th Gen HIL Device-HIL404, our fastest HIL machine yet. With its ability to reach simulation time steps down to 200ns combined with input sampling resolution of 3.5ns it pushes the high-fidelity real-time simulation into a whole new dimension.
