Key Applications
Motor Drive Testing
High currents in a small package size make our supplies ideal for motor drive development, testing, and production-level burn-in. Our robust current-fed power processing enables a greater tolerance to motor drives' abusive load characteristics, with enhanced system-level protection.
Photovoltaic Emulation and Inverter Testing
With voltages available up to 4000 Vdc fully floating, non-linear I-V characteristic emulation through our Photovoltaic Power Profile Emulation software, high slew rate option for low output capacitance, and power capabilities beyond 600 kW, our supplies define a new class of solar emulators.
Semiconductor Burn-in
Validating semiconductor production requires high temperature accelerated life-cycle testing. Our supplies meet high power density requirements with proven reliability. Each series offers among the highest currents available in its respective package size. In addition, the availability of water cooling enables creative packaging for high temperature environments.
Battery and Capacitor Charging
For battery charging, our supplies offer either constant voltage or constant current operation, with autocrossover when the battery's nominal voltage is reached. In addition, the high slew rate option lowers output capacitance and bleed resistance, eliminating the requirement of a blocking diode.
Aviation and Aerospace
Support for programming environments LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, and MATLAB through SCPI commands and availability of IEEE 488.2 GPIB eases integration into large-scale aviation and aerospace systems. In addition, 28 Vdc models across the product line and up to 400 Hz input frequency support specifically target aviation and aerospace electrical buses.
Waveform Generation
Using the high slew rate output option, our supplies can operate as a low frequency (< 90 Hz) single quadrant waveform generator. This high slew output coupled with the D Version front panel's sequential memory stepping feature, enables programming of continuous power waveforms on the front panel, even without computer connection.
University and National Lab Research
With a strong reputation for reliability, including the ability to regulate short-circuit load characteristics, our supplies can be found around the world processing power for universities and national labs. The user-friendly controls with advanced feature set in our standard offering makes the supplies a cost-effective solution.
Water Treatment
Our products satisfy power requirements for electrodionization (EDI) and other electrode based water treatment methods. Standard 400 Vdc models meet voltage requirements for the most common EDI modules. In addition, water cooling enables reliable operation even in harsh environments.
