PAT-Dummy-Cell I

Basic cell for performing a functional test of your PAT-Tester

Product overview

The PAT-Dummy-Cell I is used to perform a quick functional test of your PAT-Tester right out of the box, or in case the tester does not work as expected with your electrochemical test cell. The PAT-Dummy-Cell I consists of simple RC circuits:

Test cases

1. DC test with constant current

When applying a constant current, the dummy cell behaves, in steady state, as an ohmic voltage divider. For the test shown below we apply a current of 1 mA between 1 and 2, then between 1 and R, and finally between 2 and R. The three cc steps are separated by rest steps. Each step takes 200 milliseconds. The steady state is reached within a few ms, defined by the time constant of the respective RC element.

2. Impedance (GEIS) test

The RC elements of the dummy circuit are best characterized by impedance measurements. For the results shown below as Bode plots, we applied a sinusoidal alternating current with an amplitude of 1 mA, with frequencies between 100 kHz and 1 Hz. First, the alternating current was applied between 1 and 2, then between 1 and R and finally between 2 and R.
