Megawatt charging is a key enabler for zero-emission heavy-duty transport, from long-haul trucks and buses to industrial and fleet applications. As the Megawatt Charging System (MCS) pushes charging power into the multi-megawatt range, reliable validation of safety, interoperability, and system behavior becomes critical throughout development and certification.
| The Keysight SL2600A Megawatt Charging Discovery System is a modular, future-ready test platform designed to validate megawatt charging interfaces of electric vehicles and charging infrastructure under realistic laboratory conditions. Supporting voltages up to 1,500 V DC and currents up to 1,500 A DC, the SL2600A enables comprehensive testing from early communication verification to full power megawatt charging scenarios. | Built around a flexible core architecture, the SL2600A can emulate both EV and EVSE roles within a single solution. For EV testing, it acts as a fully configurable megawatt-class charging station, enabling validation of vehicle charging behavior, safety mechanisms, and charging communication under high-power loads. For EVSE testing, the system emulates a next-generation electric vehicle to verify charging-station performance, interoperability, and compliance in a controlled and repeatable way. This dual-use capability reduces test complexity while accelerating development cycles. |
| The modular design enables realistic configurations for different test objectives. When combined with the SL2620A Charging Cable Unit, featuring a liquid-cooled MCS charging cable, the SL2600A supports full power EV validation up to 1,500 A DC with stable thermal performance. With the SL2610A Inlet Unit, the system provides a vehicle-side MCS interface for realistic and repeatable EVSE testing, including controlled high-current operation with bidirectional power sources. | Validate next-generation megawatt charging for heavy-duty applications. |
| Supports up to 1,500 V DC and 1,500 A DC. | Modular, upgradable architecture for flexible test configurations. |
| Test EVs and charging stations within a single solution. | Designed to support standardized charging interfaces such as NACS and CCS, with an upgradeable architecture for future requirements. |
| Ensures readiness for evolving charging ecosystems and long-term investment protection. | Read more about megawatt charging in this blog post or here. |
