FOOTHILL RANCH, Calif. - Aug. 3, 2015 - PRLog -- Capris Engineering and Chroma Systems Solutions, Inc. today announced the partnership of the two companies aimed to provide automated test solutions for the Instituto Costarricense de Electricidad (ICE). ICE is a property of Costa Rican Corporation, which provides electricity and telecommunications solutions, contributing to economic, social and environmental development. Test systems provide environmental and process monitoring and electronic testing for quality control, energy consumption and energy efficiency testing of a wide range of consumer products.

In 2010, Costa Rica’s then-President Oscar Arias set a goal for the country to become the first carbon neutral country by the year 2021.  In the five years since the goal was set, the country has made great progress in reforestation and the adoption of renewable energy sources.

Pursuit to this goal the Instituto Costarricense de Electricidad (ICE) was established to encourage and monitor the greater use of energy efficient products throughout South America.  Capris Engineering has been chartered to equip ICE's Efficiency Lab where they test and certify electrical products that are sold throughout Central America. Capris partnered with Chroma Systems solutions to provide high power AC sources, electronic loads, multimeters, and electrical safety analyzers with CaptiVATE™ software. Chroma’s equipment will be primarily used in the appliance lab where all types of consumer appliances including washing machines, refrigerators, and electric stoves will be tested for energy efficiency.

Chroma’s 61600 High Power AC Sources can provide up to 90KVA of power in parallel and a voltage range up to 300V. Their 63800 AC Electronic Loads maximum paralleled power is rated at 22.5KW single phase / 67.5KW three phase and include a Crest Factor Range of 1.414 to 5.0. For safety testing, the Guardian Electrical Safety Analyzer provides Hipot, Insulation Resistance (IR), Ground Bond (GB), Leakage Current (LC), and Dynamic Function Tests. Chroma’s CaptiVATE™ software allows for the creation of test sequences, data capture, bar code scanning of device model and serial number, automatic recall of test setup based upon model number and saving of all data into a database for trending and analysis.
