- AVL Active Load Cabinet™ is now available for the North American market
- Customers can leverage the devices to perform a wide variety of high-voltage functional and validation tests for R&D applications
NOVI, Mich., April 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The AVL Active Load Cabinet™ was launched today at the Reimagine Mobility Conference. The product is the mobility technology company’s latest innovation in inverter hardware testing technology. The Active Load Cabinet (ALC) provides a variable resistance-inductance (R-L) load in all four quadrants using open communication interfaces, which allows engineering teams to perform a range of high-voltage functional and validation tests for R&D applications.
OEMs, start-ups, suppliers, and power module manufacturers can benefit from the device’s ability to perform power electronics testing on an application and system level. The barriers to adoption are low. Only a water connection for cooling and a 30kW AC connection for power is needed to integrate the device into an existing laboratory or testing facility.
“The ALC serves as a cost-effective and timesaving solution when it comes to inverter development and product validation,” commented Joseph Strelow, President of AVL Test Systems, Inc. “It represents AVL’s commitment to providing customers with game-changing technology without the need to reconfigure an entire testing facility.”
The product launch extends the mobility company’s expertise in developing, integrating, and deploying power electronic test system technologies, such as the AVL SPECTRA Universal Inverter™ for e-motor testing and the AVL Inverter TS™ for e-motor emulation.
“Today, in the exhibition area, we gave customers a first look at how the ALC identifies problems early in the testing phase. This allows test engineers to resolve potential development issues and therefore mitigate risks that can delay the start of production,” noted Mario Avigliano, Regional Business Manager at AVL Test Systems, Inc.
AVL plans to offer customers the opportunity to test inverter hardware as part of a Demo Days series at its technical center in Ann Arbor, Michigan in Fall 2025. For more information on the ALC and auxiliary solutions, please visit AVL’s product page.
