Magna-Power Electronics MT Series uses the same reliable current-fed power processing technology and controls as the rest of the MagnaDC programmable power supply product line, but with larger high-power modules: individual 150 kW and 250 kW power supplies. The high-frequency IGBT-based MT Series units are among the largest standard switched-mode power supplies on the market, minimizing the number of switching components when comparing to smaller module sizes. Scaling in the multi-megawatts is accomplished using the UID47 device, which provides master-slave control: one power supply takes command over the remaining units, for true system operation. As an added safety measure, all MT Series units include an input AC breaker rated for full power.
250 kW modules come standard with an embedded 12-pulse harmonic neutralizer, ensuring low total harmonic distortion (THD). Even higher quality AC waveforms are available with an external additional 500 kW 24-pulse or 1000 kW 48-pulse harmonic neutralizers, designed and manufactured exclusively by Magna-Power for its MT Series products.

High-power performance, harmonic control, and configurability for demanding systems
Alimentación DC de alto rendimiento a gran escala
Salida precisa y estable para sistemas de multi-kilovatios a multi-megavatios.
Con una amplia gama de alta corriente y alto voltaje de hasta 6,000 Vdc (flotante), los sistemas de la Serie MT ofrecen una respuesta transitoria rápida, programación y medición de alta precisión, y bajo rizado en la salida en una amplia gama de niveles de potencia. Con operación en voltaje constante o corriente constante y cruce automático, responden rápidamente a cargas cambiantes y mantienen sus valores objetivo con precisión, siendo ideales para bancos de pruebas de alta potencia, alimentación de procesos industriales e instalaciones de multi-megavatios donde el rendimiento es fundamental.
Configurado a pedido con opciones integradas
Funciones estándar completas, ampliadas cuando se necesitan.
Al igual que el resto de la línea MagnaDC, las fuentes MT Series comienzan con una sólida base de control: SCPI a través de RS232, E/S de usuario trasera aislada, controladores LabVIEW e IVI, y Remote Interface Software incluido. A partir de ahí, las opciones integradas le permiten adaptar cada sistema a su función—Salida de alto aislamiento (+ISO) para apilamiento en serie extendido, Salida de alta velocidad de respuesta (+HS) para dinámicas más rápidas, LXI TCP/IP Ethernet (+LXI) y IEEE-488 GPIB (+GPIB) para comunicaciones adicionales, además de opciones de protección y mecánicas como un diodo de bloqueo integrado (+BD) y base tipo pedestal (+PB) para instalaciones fijas.
Control continuo del panel frontal con opción de panel en blanco
Acceso directo donde lo necesita, oculto donde no.
The standard SL front panel provides rotary and key-based control, bright digital metering, and clear status indicators, so operators can configure setpoints, start and stop the supply, and see system health at a glance. For OEMs and production tools, the optional blank (C-version) front panel removes local controls altogether while retaining full control via communication interfaces and rear 37-pin user I/O, keeping systems secure, clean, and operator-proof.
Harmonic Neutralizers para sistemas de alta potencia más limpios
Reduzca el THD en la fuente para un cumplimiento más sencillo de la calidad de energía.
Los armónicos de corriente de entrada son un subproducto inherente de los rectificadores trifásicos: un front end estándar de 6 pulsos produce corrientes armónicas a 1, 5, 7, 11, 13… veces la fundamental, con los componentes 5º y 7º solos aproximadamente al 20% y 14% de la fundamental. Estas corrientes pueden excitar cargas sensibles—como balastos de iluminación con capacitores/inductores en serie—y dificultar el cumplimiento de directrices de calidad de energía como IEEE 519. La forma más confiable de minimizar los problemas de armónicos es eliminar la corriente armónica en la fuente.
Para sistemas de alta potencia, Magna-Power fabrica Harmonic Neutralizers de bobinado especial que multiplican el número de fases de entrada y reducen drásticamente el THD de corriente de entrada, de forma pasiva. Las fuentes estándar de Magna-Power de 1.5–150 kW generan una forma de onda de 6 pulsos, mientras que los modelos de 250 kW de la MT Series y de 500 kW de la ML Series incorporan un Harmonic Neutralizer de 12 pulsos, y los modelos de 1000 kW de la ML Series incorporan un Harmonic Neutralizer de 24 pulsos—de forma transparente para el usuario.
Rugged by design: safety + reliability, as you'd expect from Magna-Power.
Procesamiento de potencia confiable alimentado por corriente
Robusto por diseño: topología autoprotegida para máximo tiempo de actividad.
The SLx Series uses a high-frequency, current-fed architecture that adds a control stage beyond conventional voltage-fed designs. This topology inherently limits fault energy—avoiding fast-rising current spikes and magnetic core saturation so the supply self-protects and your load stays safe. Paired with state-of-the-art SiC power semiconductors, SLx delivers class-leading power density, efficiency, and reliability, including continuous full-power operation up to 50°C ambient.
- Current-fed architecture with an added control stage vs. voltage-fed.
- Inherent surge immunity—no current spikes or core saturation.
- Self-protecting behavior under fault conditions.
- SiC devices for high density and efficiency; full power to 50°C.
Características de seguridad e interbloqueo
Arranque suave, protección programable y desconexión mecánica de línea para una verdadera seguridad.
MagnaDC supplies start gently and watch continuously. A soft-start stage keeps inrush below steady-state draw, while built-in diagnostics monitor line, thermal, and control conditions. In standby or on a diagnostic fault, an embedded AC contactor mechanically disconnects the mains, assuring the unit only processes power when intended. Faults are shown on the front-panel status display, through 5V digital outputs, and are queryable via SCPI.
-
Programmable trips: Over voltage (OVT) and over current (OCT)/
-
Control integrity: Program-line over-voltage detection.
-
Thermal protection: Over temperature on internal heatsinks.
-
Interlock/E-stop fault monitoring as a standard diagnostic.
-
Field integration: 5V interlock input (with 5V reference) for a dry-contact, latching inhibit with control power maintained.
From lab scripts to factory PLCs, flexible programming & integration.
Integración de software simplificada
Comandos legibles, resultados rápidos—funciona con cualquier lenguaje.
Las fuentes de alimentación MagnaDC ofrecen una API clara basada en texto con SCPI nativo, un lenguaje de comandos basado en ASCII enviado a través de comunicaciones por socket. Más de 40 comandos bien documentados cubren inicio/parada, puntos de ajuste de voltaje, corriente, mediciones de alta precisión y configuración completa—para que sus scripts y sistemas pasen del concepto a la producción rápidamente.
- Conjuntos de comandos SCPI con comportamiento consistente.
- Inicio/parada y protecciones: habilitar salida, establecer límites de disparo, consultar estado.
- Lecturas de alta precisión: voltaje, corriente, potencia y retroalimentación de sensor.
- Documentación y ejemplos orientados al desarrollador.

E/S de usuario externa para control PLC o simulación PHIL
Conéctelo como un módulo de E/S, sin necesidad de aislamiento adicional.
Via the included rear 37-pin User I/O connector, MagnaDC supplies can be fully driven and monitored by external signals or a PLC. Voltage, current, OVT, and OCT set points are programmed with 0–10 V analog inputs, while each diagnostic condition has its own +5V digital status pin. Built-in +2.5V, +5V, and +10V reference rails let you use dry contacts without adding external supplies. All I/O is isolated from the output and referenced to earth ground as standard.
-
0–10 V analog programming for V, I, OVT, and OCT.
-
Per-fault digital outputs: each diagnostic has its own +5V pin.
-
Isolated user I/O referenced to earth ground—no extra isolators.
