FCTS-400 Fuel Cell Test Station

400W testing for short stacks and large active area cells.

The FCTS-400 is a high-power PEM fuel cell test station for cells up to 70 cm² and short stacks. With an 80A / 400W electronic load, SS316 humidifiers with 800W heaters, larger mass flow controllers and a 150V voltage range, the FCTS-400 handles more demanding characterization protocols that the FCTS-165 cannot. Ships from India with on-site commissioning.
