 Description
The iX
Series offers a range of full featured, compact, high output AC and DC
power units that can be combined to provide up to 30 kVA of power in a
small amount of space. Offering 3 or 5 kVA per unit and a cabinet height
of only 7 inches, the iX Series represents the most compact AC/DC power
available today. The iX Series is a full featured source offering
transient generation, arbitrary waveform generation, standard
measurements, harmonic analysis, waveform acquisition and programmable
impedance.

Controller
Capabilities
The iX Series uses a sophisticated digital signal
processor based arbitrary waveform generator and power analyzer. This
integrated, multi instrument approach, effectively eliminates the need for
additional equipment to create an AC and DC power test system.
Using a
large graphical LCD display, the advanced measurement and analysis
capabilities can be accessed directly from the front panel without the
need for remote control. For ATE applications, both IEEE-488 and RS232C
interfaces are included and Windows ™ Graphical User Interface application
software comes with each iX unit.
Flexible Configurations
 Configuration
options include multiple unit single phase as well as multiple unit three
phase systems, for a power output level from 3 kVA to 30 kVA. Multi unit
systems can be field reconfigured to provide two or more smaller systems
or one high power system using the Multi Box option (option -MB). This
provides tremendous flexibility to meet different application requirements
by utilizing the same building blocks. Contact California Instruments for
details on the multi box option. The picture on the left shows a three
phase iX Series used as part of the CTS system.

Applications
The extended output
frequency range of 16 Hz to 500 Hz make the iX Series suitable for
both commercial and avionics applications. Dual voltage ranges
provide maximum output current at any programmed voltage up to 300
Volt. The built in measurement and analysis functions eliminate the
need for additional test equipment.
The low distortion output of
the iX Series and its programmable output impedance provide an
excellent platform for IEC Harmonics and Flicker testing. As such,
the iX Series is an integral part of the IEC Compliance Test System
(CTS).
Remote Control
All iX
Series AC/DC power systems include a Windows ™ Graphical User
Interface (GUI) program. The GUI supports all functions and
capabilities of the iX Series. The following tasks can easily be
performed through this graphical user interface using either the
IEEE-488 or RS232C interface:
- Define custom
waveforms by specifying their harmonic content
- Define custom
waveforms by free-hand drawing with the mouse
- Capture
output voltage and current waveforms
- Compile lists
of transient programs on disk for quick recall and
execution
- Run IEC
61000-4-11, IEC 61000-4-13 (requires option -413), IEC 61000-4-14,
IEC61000-4-17, IEC 61000-4-28 and IEC 61000-4-29 tests and print
test reports.
- Run
RTCA/DO-160D (requires option -160) or MIL-STD 704D and E tests
(requires option -704)
- Analyze
harmonic content of both voltage and current
- Compare
stationary harmonic voltage or current components against user
defined or pre-defined limits such as IEC 61000-3-2
Harmonics.
- Monitor
remote control commands over the bus using the built in command
viewer window to quickly learn how to program the iX series
yourself.
- Measure and
record key output parameters such as volt rms, current, peak
current, real power, and power factor.
Of course, drivers for
popular programming environments such as LabView ™ are available as
well for custom software development. If needed, the front panel can
be locked out to prevent operator intervention during test
runs.

| Note: The -411 option allows IEC 61000-4-11 testing from the
front panel as well as over the bus and may be used in lieu of the
411 test sequence implemented in the GUI program. The GUI will
automatically use the -411 firmware option if its presence is
detected in the iX Series. If the -411 option is not installed, the
GUI will use a software implementation instead. In this case, a PC
is required to perform IEC 61000-4-11 testing.

Measurement system bandwidth = DC to 19.5 kHz. Accuracy
specifications are valid above 100 counts. Current and Power
Accuracy specifications are times two for 10001iX and times three
for 15001iX. For 10001iX and 15001iX, resolution decreases by factor
of 10, ranges for current and power increases by factor of three.
For units with -Mode-iX option, use 15001iX data for single phase
