DC supplies

Magna-Power Electronics has unveiled the XR series, a high powered density 2U programmable DC power supply.

With 54 models, power ratings at 2, 4 and 6 kW, voltage ratings up to 1000 DC and current ratings up to 375 ADC, the supplies use an additional processing stage to deliver current-fed power processing.

The XR series provides good control and enhanced system protection, allowing the unit to operate under short-circuit and open-circuit conditions.

The series is claimed to satisfy the demand for a variety of applications such as: ATE, motor testing, battery charging, power source and solar emulation, water treatment, among a variety of research and development activities.

For automation and integration, all models include standard 37-pin isolated 0-10 V external input/output to monitor and control all functions.

With RS232 communications, the series is also debuting the company’s Electronics LXI certified ethernet interface option with embedded web server allowing the supply to be controlled and monitored in any web browser or through LabView with certified drivers.

The series accepts AC input voltages ranging from 208 to 480, at 50 Hz, 60 Hz and 400 Hz all with a power factor greater than 92% at rated power. These features are combined with efficiencies up to 88%.
