Genesy 3U (15kW): New 30V, 40V, and 50V Models Added (400VAC/480VAC Input)

TDK Corporation announces the addition of high current 30V, 40V and 50V models (for 400VAC and 480VAC Input) to its successful Genesys™ 3U 15kW Programmable Power Supply Series.

Carrying a five (5) year warranty, the Genesys™ 3U 15kW Product Platform now includes a total of fourteen Output voltages ranging from 30V to 600V and Output currents ranging from 25A (600V model) to 500A (30V model) while continuing to set standards for flexible, reliable, AC/DC power conversion systems in the OEM, Industrial, Military & Aerospace and ATE markets including: Semiconductor and Automotive Test, Component Test/Burn-in and Magnet supplies.

In addition to high power density, popular worldwide three phase inputs are available (400VAC, 480VAC) which feature passive Power Factor Correction to assure more reliable operation in difficult AC Input environments along with cooling fan speed control to ensure extended fan life.

As with all of the Genesys™ programmable power supplies, several safety and advanced system configuration features are included.

Safety features included are Safe/Auto Re-Start, Last Setting Memory and Built-in protective functions. With Safe Start configured, the power supply returns to its last operation settings after a power interruption but with the Output disabled, while 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, OVP/UVL level, Foldback and Start-Up mode at each AC Input turn-off sequence. Built-in protective functions include Over-Voltage protection (OVP), Under-Voltage limit (UVL), FOLDback protection (FOLD) and Over-Temperature protection (OTP).

Higher power systems can be configured using the Master/Slave “Advanced” Parallel operating mode. This mode configures the Master unit to be the single –point for programming, measurement and status of the total current of the paralleled system. Thus, four units can operate as a single 60kW power supply, increasing the flexibility for system designers.

Common to the entire Genesys™ family is the embedded 16-bit RS-232/RS-485 Multi-Drop Digital communication interface. Using this Digital interface, up to 31 power supplies may be controlled in an addressed RS-485 daisy-chain configuration.

Other optional Digital and Analog interfaces include the LXI Class C compliant LAN and the IEEE (488.2 and SCPI-compliant) Multi-Drop Digital communication interfaces (which include a selection of instrument softwaredrivers such as NI LabVIEW and NI LabWindows™) as well as a 5V/10V and 4-20mA Isolated Analog Program/Monitor interface.

CE marked in accordance with the Low Voltage Directive, the GenesysTM 3U 15kW Power Supply Series conforms to conducted and radiated EMI in accordance with EN55011A and FCC Part 15J-A. Safety agency approvals include UL60950-1 and EN60950-1.
