ABC-170/170CE

AV’s ABC-170/170CE power processing system is used to meet fuel cell testing and sinking power needs. Originally developed for fuel cell testing applications and for systems that require additional sinking power, AV’s customers have also used this versatile machine to cycle hybrids and batteries. The ABC-170 offers power from +125kW to - 170kW, with a voltage range of 8 to 445 VDC and a current range of +530ADC to - 640ADC.

The CE mark is a mandatory European marking for certain product groups to indicate conformity with the essential health and safety requirements set out in European Directives. In an effort to better serve our European customers, AV has gone through the CE certification process and has received the CE mark on selected versions of our test equipment.
