Power electronics Laboratory

The institute possesses a thermal camera with a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels. This very useful tool is not only used in the development of power electronics systems, but even more so during the development and placing into operation of thermal systems.

Main technical specifications:

• IR resolution: 640 × 480 pixels
• Integrated daylight camera
• Temperature calibrated video recording with 30 FPS
• MSX® Picture Improving Technology
