2.a. Half-cell configuration – Cathode
This configuration is used with DUTs like (rechargeable) batteries
and fuel cells if only the cathodic part of the cell has to be
investigated.
!
Potential
≤
4 V / 12 V
The potential will be indicated as negative in EL.
The measured current must be positive I
≥
0
Depending on the type of the reference electrode the measured
potential may be different from the real potential at the reference
electrode site. The real potential can be calculated from the meas-
ured potential by subtracting the potential of the reference elec-
trode.
2.b. Half-cell configuration - Anode
This configuration is used with DUTs like (rechargeable) batteries
and fuel cells if only the anodic part of the cell has to be
investigated.
!
Potential
≤
4 V / 12 V
The potential will be indicated as negative in EL.

Depending on the type of the reference electrode the measured

ured potential by subtracting the potential of the reference elec-
trode.
