New high current models added to 3U 15kW programmable power supply series

Three new models have been added to TDK-Lambda’s Genesys series of programmable dc power supplies. The series is now available with outputs of 30V at 500A, 40V at 375A and 50V at 300A and output powers of 15kW.

Carrying a 5-year warranty, these high current models have the same features and compact dimensions (3U/19in) as the existing 60V to 600V 15kW models. The units can operate in either constant current or constant voltage mode and accept three-phase 400Vac or 480Vac inputs, with passive power factor correction.

Higher power systems can be configured using the Master/Slave 'advanced' parallel operating mode, which 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.

Common to the entire Genesys family is the embedded 16-bit RS-232/RS-485 Multi-Drop digital interface. Using this digital interface, up to 31 power supplies may be controlled in a daisy-chain over an RS485 link.
