ISO 16750 Test Programme

Millbrook’s expert test engineers and technicians project-managed a large-scale ISO 16750 test programme.

The team performed:

Environmental testing of electric drives under full load and power. Rotating wheel outputs were connected to the test rig while an enclosure around the part under test provided localised environmental conditioning (-40^oC to +120^oC and humidity control up to 95%)
Dust and water ingress testing
Back-to-back durability testing under environmental load, subjecting power electronics and electrical machine to different environmental conditions
Mechanical testing, including shock and vibration testing of drive systems

In addition to ISO 16750, Millbrook performed low-volt system testing to LV124 and provided strip and rate facilities for component teardown and analysis.
