AE Techron 7548 DC-enabled High Power Amplifier DC – 100 kHz 12kW

Description

The AE Techron 7548 amplifier is a DC-enabled, high-powered unit designed to provide very low noise and fast slew rates. A single 7548 has an output capability of 100 amperes peak and 200 volts peak when driving typical MRI gradient coil loads. It can output a 40 mSec pulse with up to 105 amperes peak current into a 1-ohm load. If more current is needed, up to four amplifiers can be combined in series or parallel and operate as a single system.

The 7548 can operate in either voltage or current mode and features robust output devices and a power range of over 3300 watts RMS. It can safely drive a wide range of resistive, inductive loads.

Typical use includes as a power source for EMC testing in applications that require either continuous AC or DC signals and significant short term (burst) signals. It can be combined in a three-phase system ideal for MIL-STD-704F (AC and 28VDC tests).

Features

  • Over 12,000 watts peak for 40 mSec and 5,500 watts peak continuous into a 1-ohm load
  • 40 mSec pulses of up to 105 amperes peak into a 1-ohm load
  • System output of 800 volts and 70 amperes maximum are possible with multiple, interconnected amplifiers
  • Frequency bandwidth of DC to 50 kHz at rated power; DC to 100 kHz at reduced power
  • Rugged chassis for stand-alone or rack mounted operation. No additional power supplies are required
  • Protection circuitry protects the AE Techron 7548 from input overloads, improper output connection (including shorted and improper loads), over-temperature, over-current, and supply voltages that are too high or low
  • 7548 with “P” option offers precision control of output offset, DC drift and gain linearity
  • Shipped ready to operate from 208-volt (±10%) three-phase AC mains. Operation from 400-volt (±10%) AC mains are available on request
