TDK Corporation announces the introduction of the TDK-Lambda high power density 1U  . This air-cooled product, which is the first to be offered in a new generation platform, brings a higher level of performance to the TDK-Lambda AC/DC Programmable Power Supply product portfolio at a competitive price.

Utilizing embedded microprocessor technology, the GENESYS^TM next-generation product platform provides advanced performance and functionality well suited for the Laboratory/R&D environment and addresses broad market segments including Aerospace Test & Measurement, Automotive Component, Module and System Test, Semiconductor Fabrication & Component Test, Industrial and Renewable/Alternative Energy.

Carrying a five (5) year warranty and built into a 1U (1.75”) high, 19” (483mm) wide, and 17.5” (444.5mm) deep rack-mount mechanical profile, the GENESYS^TM  5kW Power Supply Series offers the highest power density (35% higher) and, at 15.4lbs (7kg), the lightest weight in the industry (less than half that of comparable products).

Five models are currently available from 10V to 600V with outputs of 10V/500A, 20V/250A, 30V/170A, 300V/17A and 600V/8.5A with conversion efficiencies up to 93%. These units can operate in Constant-Current (CC), Constant-Voltage (CV) as well as the newly offered Constant-Power (CP) and internal resistance simulation. Three-phase AC Input options include 208VAC (170~265VAC), 400VAC (342~460VAC) or a wide-range 480VAC (342~528VAC) and have built-in active Power Factor Correction (0.94 typical) with cooling fan speed control (for reduced audible noise and extended life).

In addition to doubling the power density over the existing 2U Genesys™ 5kW Programmable Power Supply Series, the GENESYS^TM  5kW platform offers other significant advancements. These include a high contrast, wide viewing angle multi-segment front panel LCD display (with user controllable brightness and dimming functions for improved readability) that has five embedded multi-functional Power Supply Setup menus that address Digital Communication, Protective Functions, Operating Configuration, System Configuration, and System Triggering. These embedded menus offer new adjustable user-selectable functions including internal resistance simulation, Constant-Power operation and Slew-Rate control of Output Voltage/Current. Arbitrary waveform profiles, such as vehicle battery start-up simulation, of up to 100 steps can also be generated and stored in four  on-board memory cells and can be recalled and activated via the front panel display embedded menus or Remote Digital communication.

Standard safety features include user-selectable Safe-Start/Auto Re-Start, Last Setting Memory and various built-in protective functions. With Safe-Start configured, the power supply returns to its last operational settings after a power interruption but with the output disabled. With Auto Re-Start, the power supply returns to the last used operation settings after a power interruption. Last Setting Memory retains settings such as the Output voltage/current, Output ON/OFF, Output OVP/UVL/UVP level, Fold-Back (CV or CC), Output Over-Current Limit (OCL) and Start-Up mode (SAFE or AUTO) at each AC input turn-off sequence. Built-in protective functions include Output Over-Voltage Protection (OVP), Output Under-Voltage Limit (UVL), Output Under-Voltage Protection (UVP), Fold-Back protection (FOLD) for CV or CC mode, Output Over-Current Limit (OCL) and Over-Temperature protection (OTP).

A new Advanced Parallel Master/Slave system, unique to TDK-Lambda, allows for improved multi-unit system performance (Output ripple/noise and dynamic response) where up to four GENESYS^TM  units can be connected in parallel and automatically configured by detection of the parallel data-link cable connections between units, with the Master unit being the single point for programming, measurement and status of system load current.

All model functions can be programmed locally via the menu-driven front panel display or remotely using one of the three built-in standard SCPI-compliant Multi-Drop Remote Digital communication interfaces (where up to 31 units may be controlled in an addressed RS-485 Multi-Drop configuration). These interfaces include the LAN (LXI 1.5), USB (2.0) and RS-232/RS-485 and an optional SCPI-compliant Multi-Drop GPIB(IEEE 488.2) Remote Digital communication interface (all of whose communication protocols and signals are compatible with the entire TDK-Lambda Genesys™ Series). Also included is a full selection of software instrument drivers, a Waveform-Creator and an Advanced Virtual Front Panel GUI.

A built-in standard Remote Isolated Analog Program/Monitor/Control Interface (with 600V isolation) is also provided with new functions such as Output control pins (for activation of external devices for polarity reversal/load disconnect), Trigger-In/Trigger-Out pins (for synchronization), Enable control (with user-selectable polarity) and higher accuracy Program/Monitor signals.

Two new GENESYS^TM   mechanical options are a Blank Front Panel and a Dust Cover. The Blank Front Panel is available for applications where the front panel display and controls are not required and only remote interfacing (Digital/Analog) is needed. The Dust Cover has a removable snap-in filter (for easy maintenance) and is provided for dusty air environment applications.

The GENESYS^TM  5kW Power Supply Series has Safety certifications to IEC/EN/UL/cUL 60950-1 with CE marking in accordance with the Low Voltage, EMC (IEC/EN61204-3; industrial environment) and RoHS2.

CT9557 Features Sum Functionality for Aggregating and Measuring Large Circuits in Multi-Cable Circuits 

CT9555

Hioki is pleased to announce the launch of three sensor units: Models CT9555, CT9556, and CT9557. Hioki Launches Three Sensor Units High Precision Current Sensors

The CT9555 is two-thirds smaller than the legacy sensor unit by volume, while the CT9556 provides RMS output capability. Meanwhile, the CT9557 features aggregate functionality to facilitate the measurement of large currents in multi-cable circuits.

ROLE OF SENSOR UNITS
Sensor units are power supplies for high-precision current sensors that also provide waveform output functionality.

Hioki’s high-precision current sensors cannot be used on their own; instead, it is necessary to supply power to drive the sensor using one of these newly launched sensor units. Furthermore, since the sensor units are able to output waveform signals from the current sensors to which they are attached, they can be used in conjunction with a data recorder, power meter, or data logger to display and analyze those waveforms.

CT9556

PRODUCT FEATURES
CT9555
Enclosure that’s two-thirds smaller than the legacy product by volume – The CT9555 is two-thirds smaller and weighs 200g lighter than the legacy 9555-10 by volume. Its compact footprint offers increased convenience in operation and management.

CT9556
Ability to generate RMS output
The CT9556 is a sensor unit that can also generate RMS output in addition to waveforms.  Use of a current sensor and data recorder to measure AC current levels requires an expensive recorder that provides advanced functionality for converting readings to RMS values. Since the CT9556 can output a DC signal obtained by converting the AC signal waveform from the current sensor to an RMS value, even an inexpensive logger can be used to measure AC current levels. Hioki Launches Three Sensor Units High Precision Current SensorsHioki Launches Three Sensor Units High Precision Current Sensors

CT9557

*RMS values: The strengths of AC current and voltage are not constant, but rather vary periodically with time. Consequently, the meaning of an RMS value can be expressed as follows: the RMS value expresses the strength of an AC voltage (current) as the DC voltage (current) at which a given resistance would consume the same amount of power as when the corresponding AC voltage (current) flows through it.  The voltage used to describe household electrical outlets in Japan (100 V AC) is an RMS value.

CT9557
1. A 4-channel power supply
Current measurement often requires that multiple current lines be measured at the same time. Since the CT9557 can serve as a power supply for up to four current sensors, it allows operators to build simpler, cheaper systems than are possible if using four 1-channel CT9555 units. Hioki Launches Three Sensor Units High Precision Current Sensors

 2. Aggregate function for measuring large currents in multi-cable circuits in megasolar installations
At large-scale generating facilities such as megasolar installations, extremely large currents on the order of 1000A to 3000 A are split so that they flow through two to four cables, making it impossible to measure them with a single current sensor. Typically, individual cables’ current values are measured with separate current sensors, and either the customer adds together those measured values manually or utilizes the functionality of an instrument with enough channels to accommodate the number of current sensors being used to add the values.

The CT9557 delivers the ability to add together the signal waveforms from multiple current sensors in such applications. Since the current values measured for each branch cable are added together inside the CT9557 and output as a single signal, the troublesome addition process becomes unnecessary, and instruments need only use one channel of input. One application of this aggregate functionality is to simplify measurement of leakage currents in three-phase circuits.

PRINCIPAL APPLICATIONS
* As a current sensor power supply
* To measure RMS value fluctuations in an AC current in conjunction with a logger
* To measure power in large-current lines in conjunction with a power meter
