Description
The AFX Series is a programmable AC and DC Power Source with a highly energy efficient and dynamic design. These units are single, split and three phase with AC, DC and AC+DC outputs. Available models range from 6kVA up to 15kVA in a 4U Chassis, with configurations up to 90kVA per cabinet, and cabinets parallelable up to 180kVA. Its wide operating envelope and extended voltage and frequency range options provides great flexibility for testing aerospace, EVs, power supplies, data and network server applications in R&D and production.
Newly available A Version offers extended voltage and frequency ranges and new analog and digital I/O functions.
Over 85% Energy Efficient AC & DC Power Source
The AFX Series consists of a range of High Power Switching AC, DC and AC+DC capable Power Sources covering a power range from 6kVA to 180kVA. All AFX models offer single, split and three phase output configurations. The AFX is a state-of-the-art design using the latest digital power conversion technologies. Power density is among the highest in the industry with up to 15kVA/kW in a 4U (7″) chassis.
Great emphasis has been placed on energy efficiency, ease of installation, and maximum power per cubic inch of rack space.
Control and operational features provide a high degree of application versatility and ease of use for the test engineer. Applications range from simple, manually controlled frequency conversion to harmonic immunity testing and sophisticated transient simulation.
Power conversion within the AFX Series is achieved by digitally controlled, high frequency pulse width modulation, resulting in cool, quiet and efficient operation. Some AFX models can be upgraded by customer service to provide higher power output using our POWER FLEX upgrade program.
The AFX series includes standard analog and digital I/O functions, scope function for voltage and current waveform capture, programmable output impedance and harmonic analysis measurements. Frequency range has been expanded to cover 1Hz through 3000Hz (with some power and voltage restrictions) and extended output voltage range to 333VLN / 576VLL.
