Power analyzer for the development and testing of electric and hybrid powertrains


Winterthur, November 2025 – KiBox2 E-Powertrain Analysis is the comprehensive solution for the development, testing, benchmarking and validation of complete electric, hybrid, and fuel-cell drives – both on test stands and in vehicles. Kistler designed the new hardware and software components for simple integration into existing KiBox2 systems. The modular and scalable solution can be configured for virtually every conceivable measurement scenario and area of application – on land, in the water, or in the air. KiBox2 E-Powertrain Analysis is equipped for the challenges encountered in the field of electric and hybrid drives: it is characterized by its ability to process strong currents, high voltages, and rapid switching frequencies without issue while also remaining immune to interference. Thanks to its compact and robust design, it can be installed directly in test vehicles. It is ideal for the comprehensive analysis not only of complete electric and hybrid powertrains, but also of individual drive components and assemblies. It offers real-time measurement, visualization, and recording of all relative drive parameters with advanced cycle detection and ultra-fast calculation windows that allow for highly dynamic and precise testing procedures.

KiBox2 E-Powertrain Analysis is an innovative complete solution that serves as an indispensable tool for research and development in the field of electric and hybrid drives. The power analyzer was developed to support every phase of the development process – from integration and calibration all the way to optimization and verification. It can take measurements at individual drive components, such as power electronics, inverters, e-motors, and resolvers, and also measure component assemblies. Direct or alternating current, high- or low-voltage measurement, or the analysis of energy management systems – KiBox2 E-Powertrain Analysis is designed for every challenge. The scalable system with up to 64 measuring channels and powerful processing functions records the necessary measurement signals across the entire powertrain. KiBox2 E-Powertrain Analysis differs fundamentally from standard DAQ systems because the measured signals are immediately processed via dedicated software solutions, meaning that detailed visualization and analysis of application-specific e-machine data occur in real time. At the same time, the system can also measure and process specific measurement currents from current transducers, which are primarily used in high-voltage applications, as well as signals from standard current clamps. 

For power analysis of electric powertrains, the KiBox2 16-channel measuring unit forms the heart of the system.
For the power analysis of electric powertrains, the KiBox2 16-channel measuring unit is the heart of the solution. It’s a scalable system that can be expanded to up to 64 channels. In addition to electrical signals, mechanical torque systems can also be directly connected via digital and analog inputs for power analysis. Together with the newly developed Cockpit E-Powertrain application for measurement data processing, Kistler has created a comprehensive integrated solution.
