Princeton Applied Research introduces the Model 803 high-current potentiostat capable of controlling or measuring up to 80Amps, while performing as a high-performance potentiostat/galvanostat
The Model HCP-803 operates in two modes: as a typical high-performance instrument with excellent low-current resolution, accuracy and control features or as a high-current potentiostat able to address such applications as fuel cell, battery and super capacitor testing and evaluation, high-current plating, or large-scale electro-synthesis.
The HCP-803 is configurable into high-current mode with a simple cell cable changeover that extends the potentiostat's current capabilities to 80A, while limiting the voltage range to 3Volts.
The 80A power booster feature has excellent linearity on current control and measurement, providing accurate impedance measurements down to an 'amazing' 12.5uOhm.
In addition, the boosted configuration utilises all of the electrochemical techniques available with the EC-Lab software, including cyclic voltammetry, programmable load and power, charge / discharge cycling, current or potential pulse techniques and impedance spectroscopy from 10uHz to 10kHz.
The Model HCP-803 offers a number of protection features designed to prevent potential cell and the unit damage, including: current limiting hardware that prevents current overloads even for short-circuit conditions, thermal shutdown circuitry that protects the unit for excessive power dissipation, optional front panel emergency stop button for manual shutdown, and built-in digital input to permit remote controlled shutdown.
