Clean output power up to 5.1 kW
The PVS10005, PVS60085, and PVS60085MR programmable DC power supplies offer clean output power up to 5.1 kW, excellent regulation, and fast transient response time characteristics in an industry-leading 2U package. These power supplies provide many useful features such as high-programming resolution, multiple remote interfaces for test systems, and a built-in SAS (solar array simulator) function to generate PV (photovoltaic) I-V curves.
Intuitive and versatile user interface
For benchtop applications, the PVS Series' numeric keys and rotary knob provide a convenient interface for setting output levels quickly and precisely. Both measured output values and setting values are concurrently displayed on the screen. Additionally, the power supplies provide internal memory for storage of up to 10 different instrument settings that can be set and recalled via both the front panel and remote interfaces. System integrators benefit from the standard USB (virtual COM), RS-232, GPIB, and LAN interfaces supporting SCPI commands.
Unique power solutions for photovoltaic test and analysis
The low-noise characteristic of the PVS Series makes these instruments ideal for motor inverter testing. When operated with the optional SAS software, the PVS Series power supplies can be used for solar array testing applications. Additionally, they are well-suited for both bench use and ATE systems integration, R&D, design verification, production test, and high voltage testing.
Application software that eliminates the need to write source code
Free application software and a complete set of LabVIEW drivers are available to reduce programming time and increase productivity. The application software allows users to control the power supply, execute test sequences, or log measurements. It also integrates with Data Dashboard for LabVIEW apps, enabling users to remotely monitor select measurement indicators with iOS, Android, or Windows 8 compatible tablets or smart phones.
Solar Array Simulation (SAS) Software Option
Solar inverter designers need to verify their inverter is capable of delivering the maximum power available from solar modules. The I-V curve of solar cells can be influenced by various weather conditions such as a cloudy day. Combined with the SAS application software, PVS users can easily simulate the I-V curve of different arrays under various irradiance conditions while measuring and validating the effectiveness of the inverter's MPPT algorithm.
Software is provided for front panel emulation, enabling remote monitoring on PCs, iOS, Android, or Windows 8 compatible tablets or smart phones. |
