California Instruments MX series
11 ac power supplies - available in the UK from TTi
|
|
|

 Description
The MX Series offers high levels of AC and DC
power in a relatively compact floor standing cabinet. Available in power
levels between 15kVA and 45 kVA
per unit, the MX Series represents the most versatile
AC/DC power system available today. The MX Series is a full-featured
source offering transient generation, arbitrary waveform generation,
standard measurements, harmonic analysis and waveform acquisition.
Multi-unit configurations support powers to 135kVA and
beyond.
Controller Capabilities
The MX 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
complete 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 MX
unit.

Flexible Configurations
Configuration options
include both single and multiple unit systems for a wide range of power
levels. The MX45-3Pi offers both single and three phase output capability
at a power level of 45 kVA. Multiple MX45 chassis can be combined to
provide higher power levels for three phase applications.

Applications
The extended output frequency range of 16
Hz to 819 Hz makes the MX Series suitable for both commercial and avionics
applications. Dual voltage ranges (3Pi models or -R option) provide
maximum output current at 80 % of voltage range and constant power from 80
to 100 % of V range. The built in measurement and analysis functions
eliminate the need for additional test equipment.
Remote
Control
All MX Series AC/DC power systems include a Windows™ Graphical User
Interface (GUI) program. The GUI supports all functions and capabilities
of the MX 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
61000-4-11p (requires option -411), 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 MX 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™ and LabWindows/CVI™ are available as well for custom software
development. If needed, the front panel can be locked out to prevent
operator intervention during test runs.
