California Instruments RS270 High Power AC&DC Power Source 270kVA

Description

The RS Series consists of multiple high power AC and DC power systems that provide controlled AC and DC output for ATE and product test applications.

This high power AC and DC test system covers a wide spectrum of AC and DC power applications at an affordable cost. Using state-of-the-art PWM switching techniques, the RS series combines compactness, robustness and functionality in a compact floor-standing chassis, no larger than a typical office copying machine. This higher power density has been accomplished without the need to resort to elaborate cooling schemes or additional installation wiring. Simply roll the RS unit to its designated location (using included casters), plug it in, and the RS series is ready to work for you.

Features

  • High Power AC and DC Power Source
    Programmable AC and DC power for frequency conversion and product test applications
  • Expandable Power Levels
    Available output power of 90 kVA per unit and multi-unit configurations for power requirements up to 540 kVA and above
  • Arbitrary & Harmonic Waveform Generation
    User defined voltage waveform and distortion programming
  • Regenerative, bidirectional "Green" Power Solution
    Automatic crossover between Source and Sink power mode offers regenerative capabilities. Regenerate up to 100% of the rated output power back to the utility grid during sink mode operation. (-SNK option)
  • Remote Control
    Standard RS232C & USB along with optional IEEE-488 & LAN Interfaces are available for automated test applications
