Power source provides single-phase or three-phase in ac, dc or ac+dc modes

Ametek Programmable_Power_MX_Series_power_sinkThe MX22.5 delivers up to 22.5 kVA and can be configured to have single-phase or three-phase outputs in ac, dc or ac+dc modes. Using state-of-the-art PWM switching techniques, the MX series combines robustness and functionality in a compact floor-standing chassis, no larger than a typical office copying machine. And, this higher power density does not need elaborate cooling schemes or additional installation wiring.

The MX Series can be operated completely from its menu-driven, front-panel controller. A backlit LCD display shows menus, setup data, and read-back measurements. Users can combine units to configure systems up to 135 kVA or more. Phase mode programming on MX22.5-3Pi allows users to easily switch between single-phase and three-phase output modes. Using the latest DSP technology, the MX Series programmable controller is capable of generating harmonic waveforms and arbitrary waveforms to test for susceptibility to harmonics and other power anomalies. Automatic crossover between source and sink power modes offers regenerative capabilities in ac or dc mode. The power sources can regenerate up to 85% of the rated output power back to the utility grid during sink mode operation when equipped with the -SNK or -SNK-DC option. The MX Series can make a wide variety of measurements in addition to supplying power, including frequency, Vrms, Irms, Ipk, crest factor, real power (watts), apparent power (VA), and power factor. These measurements are accessible from either the front panel or the remote control interface. The MX Series can be equipped with RS-232C, USB, IEEE-488, and LAN Interfaces for remote operation and automated test applications.
