NEW CHASSIS DYNAMOMETERS FOR COMPREHENSIVE TESTING OF ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY IN MOTOR VEHICLES

Electromagnetic fields are causing an increasing amount of interference to electronic systems in vehicles. Comprehensive vehicle testing with realistic simulation of the environment is therefore essential. Zollner GmbH of Kiel has developed and produced, in cooperation with the motor industry, the first double-axle roller dynamometers incorporated into a turntable with DC drive and braking motors. These test stands can be rotated and matched to a wide range of vehicles (passenger cars and commercial vehicles). It is therefore possible to install a fixed HF transmitter. This eliminates the disadvantages of a mobile area, such as a large space requirement and unfavorable conditions.
