    Regenerative AC & DC Programmable AC Power for E-Mobility

    07/19/2020

     

    Pacific Power Source has introduced a new range of full regenerative high power programmable AC and DC power sources for a wide range of AC and DC power test applications.  The new AZX Series consists of five different models ranging in power from 30kVA/kW to 200kVA/kW.  The AZX Series uses advanced Silicon Carbide (SiC) power devices to support superior specifications with respect to voltage range, current power. Available voltage ranges are 180VLN / 312VLL and 360VLN / 624VLL in AC mode or ±255Vdc and ±510Vdc in DC Mode.  The AZX Series also offers a class leading15Hz to 1,000Hz output frequency range which is higher than most regenerative AC power sources which tend to be limited to 100Hz or less. The ability to both source and sink AC, DC or AC+DC power and return energy back to the power grid allows the AZX to support development and testing of gird connected energy producing products like Solar or Wind Inverters as well as Vehicle to Grid (V2G) and Vehicle to Home (V2H) Electric vehicle chargers and Energy Storage Systems (ESS) products.

    Housed in a compact floor standing cabinet, the AZX Series can be used in engineering labs or easily integrated into an automated production test station.  LAN with LXI, USB, GPIB and RS232 Remote control interfaces are all standard and with the available PPSC Manager Windows 10® software, compliance testing to a wide range of avionics and commercial power standards is available without the need to write custom programs.  This includes DO160, Mil-Std 704, Airbus ABD0100.1.8, ABD0100.1.8.1, AMD24D and Boeing B787, as well as IEC 61000-4 Grid Immunity standards. In DC mode, emerging test standards for Electric Vehicles and batteries can be supported as well.

    All AZX models share the same advanced transient and arbitrary waveform programming capabilities as other Pacific Power Source products.
