How REGATRON’s Turnkey Solutions optimise your workflows!
Seemingly minor ideas and suggestions can sometimes have a major impact:
REGATRON’s Field Application Engineers have reported that, particularly in the ‘testing and qualification’ sector, a significant amount of time is spent on wiring and connecting the DUTs. That is why for example REGATRON’s Turnkey Charger test systems are now offered with pre-assembled connection panels featuring a wide range of worldwide used socket types. Each socket can be switched whether individually by hand with selector buttons or via interface connected to an automation system. Simply plug in and start and forget about time-consuming and error-prone wiring.
Key Points
In addition to offering comprehensive testing capabilities for a wide variety of vehicle chargers, the ‘Turnkey Charger Test Systems’ feature a selection of sockets used worldwide. Each connection is activated at the touch of a button and also takes into account the country-specific mains frequency and voltage!

Application Example: The Test Features of the REGATRON 30/50 kVA OBC Charger Tester
The REGATRON Turnkey Concept is particularly effective for test equipment used with products sold internationally. The time saved by simply selecting the appropriate power socket is remarkable, as is the automatically correct mains voltage and frequency. See the following use cases of a OBC tester:
- Testing of on-board chargers (OBC) for vehicles according to the globally applicable standards: Worldwide harmonized Light vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP)
- Testing of the energy consumption of vehicles according to country-specific guidelines
- Testing the energy behaviour in exceptional conditions, such as wintertime temperatures
- Connection of the test set-up to an already existing test automation level for fully automated procedures by means of the REGATRON TC.ACS.CANmp interface
- Country-specific tests of electrical appliances manufactured in different country versions
