MS Series IV: 30 kW to 75 kW

Overview

Innovative and Scalable

Magna-Power Electronics MS Series combines the best of DC power processing with microprocessor embedded control. A combination of high and medium frequency power processing technologies improves response, shrinks package size, and reduces cost. MS Series power supplies are current-fed and are more tolerant to abusive loads than conventional switching power supplies. This technology allows the power supply to operate under short-circuit conditions, open-circuit conditions, and everything in between.

MS Series power supplies offer both master/slave parallel and series operation. This enables two or more power supplies to be placed in parallel for increased output current or in series for increased output voltage. With master/slave operation, power supplies operate at near equal voltage and current. The process of master/slaving power supplies is plug & play with the use of Magna-Power Electronics UID46 option, which can be added at any time. 

MS Series power supplies can operate as a voltage source or current source depending on the control settings and load conditions. If the power supply is operating as a voltage source and the load increases to a point beyond the current command setting, the power supply automatically crosses over to current mode control and operates as a current source at that setting.

Designed for Safety

The MS Series power supplies have extensive diagnostic functions -- all of which, when activated, take command to shut down the system. Diagnostic functions include phase loss, excessive thermal conditions, over voltage trip, over current trip, fuse clearing, and program line. Program line monitors externally applied analog set point signals to insure they are within the specified range. Upon a diagnostic fault condition, main power is disconnected and the diagnostic condition is latched into memory. Pressing the clear key clears the memory. All diagnostic functions can be monitored through a rear connector. Furthermore, control functions can also be set through the rear connector to allow simultaneous control of one or more MS Series units.

MS Series supplies have three levels of over voltage/current protection: shutdown of controlling insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBT’s), disconnect of main power, and input fuses. After an over voltage/current trip condition, the supply must be reset.

Load Dependent Air or Optional Water Cooling

The MS Series power supplies are designed to operate at rated load 24 hours per day. Standard air cooled units are equipped with variable speed, load dependent blowers to maintain comfortable margins for removing heat from sensitive power semiconductors. Variable speed operation maximizes fan life and a minimizes external environmental hazards.

Models with the Water Cooling Option (+WC) contain integrated semiconductor chillers and air to water heat exchangers to manage cooling of heat producing components, without any change to the package size. This option allows the power supply to be sealed from the environment enabling placement in harsh environments. These units provide long life in plating facilities, electrodionization treatment plants, shipboard, and other corrosive environments. Water cooling also permits power supplies to be stacked in high density equipment racks where air cooling is not possible nor desireable.

Fully Programmable

The MS Series power supplies can be programmed and monitored using three possible sources:

  • Stepless front panel programming knobs
  • External analog/digital signals
  • Computer interface through software or SCPI

The power supply can be programmed to have its control functions accessible from the front panel, rear connector, RS232 (standard), LXI TCP/IP EthernetIEEE 488.2 GPIB, USB Edgeport, or RS485DSS communications. An extensive selection of drivers, including IVI, LabVIEW, and LabWindows™ allow users to get started quickly in a variety of programming environments for programming using supported Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments (SCPI). Use of included Remote Interface Software allows extensive computer controls and a virtual front panel. Sensing can be established at the output terminal of the power supply or through a rear remote sense terminals for sensing at the load. An external interlock can be set to enable operation only when an external connection is made. Even calibration has been simplified with front panel access to calibration digital potentiometers.

Isolated External I/O for Automation

Using the rear 37-pin I/O connector, the MS Series power supplies can be completely controlled and monitored using external signals. The voltage, current, over voltage trip, and over current trip set points are set by applying a 0-10 Vdc signal. Each diagnostic condition is given a designated pin, which reads 5 Vdc when high. In addition, reference 5 Vdc and 10 Vdc signals are provided, eliminating the need for external voltage signals and allowing the use of dry contacts. Also, the power supply features an external interlock, which when enabled, allows the power supply to be tied in with other emergency stop equipment. All these pins are isolated to earth-ground as standard--no additional isolation equipment or options necessary. For more information, read External Pin (JS1) and PLC Integration Guide.

Attention to Power Quality

The MS Series power supplies contain circuitry to work harmoniously with other power equipment. Step-start contactors are used to keep inrush current below full scale operating current. Filter components lower current harmonic content emanating from the power supply and increase power factor to levels beyond 90%, regardless of the input voltage selection. Every power supply is tested at 90% to 125% nominal line to insure satisfactory operation even under the worst line voltage conditions.

Electronic Output Stage

The new and novel MS Series output stage utilizes constant power loading under all conditions via an electronic bleed resistance. This electronic bleeder means stability under all operating conditions and faster fall times, without affecting the overall system efficiency.

Analog Control - A Series

MS Series models utilizing the A Version front panel, MSA, provide stepless analog control from front panel potentiometers. With simple configuration changes, voltage, current, over voltage trip, and over current trip may also be programmed from the rear connector or with RS232, optional IEEE 488.2 GPIB, LXI TCP/IP Ethernet, USB, or RS485 communications. MSA Series power supplies are well suited for industrial applications requiring a minimum of control.

Digital Control - D Series

MS Series models utilizing the D Version front panel, MSD, provide all of the features of the A Version plus these models can be configured for keypad entries and up/down presses for voltage, current, over voltage trip, and over current trip. Key strokes are kept to a minimum by a repeat last command feature. MSD Series power supplies are well suited for laboratory applications requiring enhanced control.

MSD Series models have one-hundred memory states available to program voltage, current, over voltage trip, over current trip, and time period. Set points can be auto sequenced with time or external triggering. Special programming codes allow repeating to create a power function generator. The first 10 memory states are displayed on the front panel to simplify programming tasks.

MSD Series power supplies offer an analog input to modulate the voltage or current setting using piecewise linear approximation. This feature enables the voltage or current setting to be adjusted by a sensor input, such as a thermistor, or by monitoring its own voltage or current. Modulation allows the output to be tailored for advanced process control applications, battery charging, and source emulation.

Computer Control - C Series

MS SERIES models utilizing the C Version front panel, MSC, only allow control from the rear connector or by RS232, optional IEEE 488.2 GPIB, LXI TCP/IP Ethernet, USB, or RS485 communications. These models are intended for process control applications where front panel controls and displays are not required or desired.

Isolated External I/O for Automation

Using the rear 37-pin I/O connector, the MS Series power supplies can be completely controlled and monitored using external signals. The voltage, current, over voltage trip, and over current trip set points are set by applying a 0-10 Vdc signal. Each diagnostic condition is given a designated pin, which reads 10 Vdc when high. Also, the power supply features an external interlock, which when enabled, allows the power supply to be tied in with other emergency stop equipment. All these pins are isolated to earth-ground as standard; no additional isolation equipment necessary.
