As electric drivetrains grow more complex, pushing the performance limits of batteries, inverters, and motors has become the industry’s central challenge. To maximise performance, engineers must understand how these devices behave under real-world, dynamic conditions where loads, speeds, and electrical signals change rapidly. 

However, traditional measurement approaches rely on steady-state conditions and averaged values, making it difficult to capture the true behaviour of modern electric systems.

HBK’s solution enables continuous data recording and real-time efficiency calculations for electrical devices testing – ensuring that no critical event is missed.

Eliminate Testing Blind Spots

Calculate real-time power and efficiency continuously - even during rapid transient events or in high-voltage environments.

Synchronise Measurement 

Measure electrical and mechanical signals in one perfectly synchronised system, eliminating manual data alignment and reducing troubleshooting time. 

Increase Confidence in Analysis  

Capture 100% of raw waveform data for post-test analysis, enabling more detailed and accurate insights.

The Challenge 

The HBK Solution 

During rapid speed or load changes, conventional power analysers lose accuracy or stop calculating efficiency altogether.HBK uses real-time cycle detection to continuously calculate power and efficiency - even during fast transients.
Electrical, mechanical, and thermal data are often captured in separate systems, requiring time-consuming manual alignment.All signals are captured synchronously in one system, ensuring perfect time alignment from the start.
If a prototype fails during a transient event and raw data isn’t recorded, engineers lose critical insight.HBK continuously records 100% of raw waveform data, enabling detailed post-test analysis down to the microsecond.
