The Genesys family of programmable power supplies from Lambda offers ac/dc power systems in OEM, industrial and laboratory applications. Lambda’s new 5kW module offers one of the highest power densities available in a compact 2U unit, and complements the 1U 750W half-rack, 1U 750W/1.5kW, 2U 3.3kW and 3U 10kW/15kW full-rack models.
The new GEN 5kW power supply is offered as a full line-up with 12 versions, including output voltage ranges of 0-8, 0-60, 0-150 and 0-600V. Maximum output current for the lowest voltage range is 600A. A wide choice of three phase ac inputs (either 208V or 400V) is available, and all units have active power factor correction.
A long list of standard features are common to the whole Genesys family, including the built-in RS232/RS485 interface, along with comprehensive remote programming functions such as global commands for multiple power supply systems. External analogue programming and monitoring is user selectable from 0-5V and 0-10V. System designers will also benefit from the new high-speed status monitoring feature for the RS485 bus.
Test system customers using the IEEE-488.2 bus may achieve significant cost savings by incorporating the optional IEEE multi-drop interface card for a master unit, which can relay commands to up to 30 “slaves” via the standard RS485 links. Isolated analogue interface and LXI compliant LAN option cards are also available.
