Programmable DC power supply available with 250kW module

The newest 250kW module integrates Magna-Power Electronics' harmonic neutraliser, which suppresses families of AC harmonics by increasing the number of power phases""an important consideration for switch-mode power supplies in the hundreds of kilowatts. The harmonic neutraliser creates a 12-pulse AC waveform, thereby minimising harmonic distortion. The harmonic neutraliser eliminates families of harmonic components by multiplying the number of input phases with specially wound autotransformers, providing a cost-effective solution to the problem of maintaining power quality at acceptable levels.

By designing a 250kW module and integrating the harmonic neutraliser, the company has reduced the size of the overall 250kW system by over 33 per cent. In addition, the integrated harmonic neutraliser greatly reduces installation requirements by easing multi-module scalability.

The new MT Series V features the same controls and features as Magna-Power Electronics' line of programmable DC power supplies. All the products come as standard with an RS-232 interface, programmable SCPI command set, isolated 37-pin I/O for PLC integration, and rotary front panel control, metering, and calibration. Furthermore, there are several programming options, such as LXI TCP/IP Ethernet (+LXI) and IEEE 488.2 GPIB (+GPIB), as well as performance options such as photovoltaic power profile emulation (+PPPE) and the recently released high slew rate output (+HS). Units are capable of master/slave parallel and series operation through the plug-and-play UID46 device.

Magna-Power Electronics designs, and manufactures robust current-fed power supplies that are said to set industry standards for quality, size, and control. Its products can be found around the world feeding power to national laboratories, universities and a wide range of industrial sites. The company's experience in power electronics is reflected in its 2kW to 1MW+ product line.
