10A/50V Power Booster CS5010B

Overview

The CS5010B is a high-power auxiliary module that extends a compatible potentiostat’s output to ±10 A and ±50 V, enabling rigorous electrochemical experiments that demand higher current and voltage headroom. When paired with a Corrtest potentiostat, the combination preserves precision control and impedance measurement capability for advanced research workflows.

Principle of Operation

CS5010B functions as a power booster in the potentiostatic/galvanostatic control loop: the base potentiostat provides set-points and measurement, while the booster supplies amplified drive to the cell. The system supports EIS from 1 µHz to 10 kHz with a fixed 10 A range and ±50 V compliance, communicating via RS-485 for robust instrument control.

Compatibility

Designed for Corrtest systems including CS350M, CS310M, CS300M, as well as CS2350M/CS2150M bipotentiostats and CS310X multichannel platforms. Available electrochemical techniques are determined by the connected base potentiostat; the booster extends drive without reducing method coverage.

Typical Applications

• Fuel cells & electrolysers: PEMFC/PEMWE/AEMWE testing requiring high current.
• Battery research: cylindrical and pouch cells; charge–discharge, GITT/PITT with higher current.
• Water splitting & high-load corrosion tests where elevated voltage and current are essential.
