The SL Series builds on nearly 40 years of power supply innovation at Magna-Power, designed from the ground up to meet the highly reliable power dense demands of ATE system integrators through Magna-Power's signature current-fed power processing topology. Utilizing state-of-the-art semiconductors and innovative internally designed and manufactured heat sinks, the SL Series offers industry-leading 1U (1.75” height) programmable power levels with models at 1.5 kW, 2.6 kW, 4 kW, 6 kW, 8 kW, and 10 kW while still maintaining an ambient operating temperature rating up to 50°C.

Fast, accurate power delivery with controls and options tailored to your needs
Potenza e prestazioni 1U senza pari
Uscita pulita e precisa con risposta rapida per sistemi esigenti.
Gli alimentatori della Serie SL offrono una risposta transitoria rapida, programmazione e misurazione ad alta precisione, risoluzione a 12 bit e basso ripple in uscita, il tutto in un formato 1U leader della categoria con efficienza fino al 95%. Con funzionamento in tensione costante o corrente costante e crossover automatico, si stabilizzano rapidamente dopo variazioni di carico (recupero dei transitori di carico nell'ordine di pochi millisecondi) e mantengono i valori target con estrema precisione, con accuratezza di programmazione in tensione e corrente fino a ±0,075% del fondo scala—ideali per applicazioni di test di precisione, burn-in e processi in cui sia la dinamica che l'accuratezza sono fondamentali.
Configurato su ordinazione con opzioni integrate
Funzionalità standard avanzate, estendibili quando necessario.
SL Series starts with a strong base: SCPI over RS232, isolated 37-pin user I/O, LabVIEW and IVI drivers, and Remote Interface Software included. When applications demand more, fully integrated options tailor performance, connectivity, and mechanics—without external boxes or ad-hoc wiring.
Standard SCPI computer controls, RS232, isolated 37-pin analog/digital I/O, LabVIEW & IVI drivers, RIS software.
-
High Slew Rate Output (+HS) for higher bandwidth and faster programmed rise times.
-
Connectivity options LXI TCP/IP Ethernet (+LXI) and IEEE-488 GPIB (+GPIB).
-
Ruggedized (+RUG) for MIL-STD shock & vibration
Controllo stepless dal pannello frontale con opzione pannello cieco
Controllo diretto dove serve, nascosto dove non serve.
Il pannello frontale SL standard offre controllo rotativo e a tasti, misurazione digitale luminosa e indicatori di stato chiari, consentendo agli operatori di configurare i setpoint, avviare e arrestare l'alimentatore e verificare lo stato del sistema a colpo d'occhio. Per gli OEM e gli strumenti di produzione, il pannello frontale cieco opzionale (versione C) elimina completamente i controlli locali, mantenendo il pieno controllo tramite le interfacce di comunicazione e l'I/O utente posteriore a 37 pin, garantendo sistemi sicuri, ordinati e a prova di operatore.
Rugged by design: safety + reliability, as you'd expect from Magna-Power.
Elaborazione di potenza affidabile a corrente impressa
Robusto per design: topologia autoprotettiva per la massima operatività.
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.
Caratteristiche di sicurezza e interlock
Avvio graduale, protezione programmabile e disconnessione meccanica della linea per una sicurezza reale.
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.
Integrazione software semplificata
Comandi leggibili, risultati rapidi—funziona con qualsiasi linguaggio.
Gli alimentatori MagnaDC offrono un'API testuale chiara con SCPI nativo, un linguaggio di comando basato su ASCII inviato tramite comunicazioni socket. Oltre 40 comandi ben documentati coprono avvio/arresto, set point per tensione, corrente, misurazioni ad alta precisione e configurazione completa—così i vostri script e sistemi passano rapidamente dal proof-of-concept alla produzione.
- Set di comandi SCPI con comportamento coerente.
- Avvio/arresto e protezioni: abilitazione dell'uscita, impostazione dei limiti di intervento, interrogazione dello stato.
- Letture ad alta precisione: tensione, corrente, potenza e feedback di sensing.
- Documentazione ed esempi orientati allo sviluppatore.

User I/O esterno per controllo PLC o simulazione PHIL
Collegalo come un modulo I/O—non è necessario alcun isolamento aggiuntivo.
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.
-
With High Slew Rate Output (+HS), high-bandwidth response and fast rise times support HIL/PHIL simulation applications.
Funzionamento master-slave ad alte prestazioni
Scala tensione o corrente senza sacrificare le prestazioni.
All MagnaDC supplies support master-slave operation, using gate-drive signals from the master when configured for parallel, so the whole stack behaves like a single supply—with one control loop and no noisy long analog references. The optional UID47 accessory simplifies wiring for series or parallel sets with near-equal sharing.
-
Single control loop parallel operation: Master gate-drive to slaves for consistent dynamics.
-
Plug & play with the UID47, enabling parallel or series stacks with current/voltage sharing.
-
Series up to the DC isolation rating without added hardware.
No additional ORing diodes required for parallel operation.
