Available output power of 30, 45, 75 and 90 kVA
per unit and multi-unit configurations for power
requirements up to 180 kVA and above
• Remote Control
Standard RS232, USB and IEEE-488 (GPIB) and op-
tional LAN interfaces are available for automated
test applications.
Overview
Introduction
The BPS Series consists of multiple high power AC
power systems that provide controlled AC output
for ATE and product test applications.
This high power AC test system covers a wide
spectrum of AC power applications at an
affordable cost. Using state-of-the-art PWM
switching techniques, the BPS Series combines
compactness, robustness and functionality in a
compact floor-standing chassis, no larger than a
typical office copying machine. This higher power
density has been accomplished without the
need to resort to elaborate cooling schemes or
additional installation wiring. Simply roll the
unit to its designated location (using included
casters), plug it in, and the BPS Series is ready
to work for you.
Simple Operation
The BPS Series can be operated completely from
its menu driven front panel controller. A backlit
LCD display shows menus, setup data, and
read-back measurements. IEEE-488, RS232C,
USB and LAN remote control interfaces and
instrument drivers for popular ATE programming
environments are available. This allows the BPS
Series to be easily integrated into an automated
test system.
Configurations
The BPS is capable of delivering 30, 45, 75, 90,
150 or 180kVA of AC power. The 30 and 45kVA
models come as dedicated single or three phase
output while the 75, 90, 150 and 180kVA models
are dedicated three phase.
For higher power requirements, simply parallel
the BPS in multi-cabinet configuration. Multi
cabinet systems always operate in three phase
output mode commonly found in power systems.
Product Evaluation and Test
Increasingly, manufacturers of high power
equipment and appliances are required to fully
evaluate and test their products over a wide
range of input line conditions. The built-in output
transient generation and read-back measurement
capability of the BPS Series offers the convenience
of a powerful, and easy to use, integrated test
system.
Avionics
With an output frequency range to 819 Hz,
the BPS Series is well suited for aerospace
applications. Precise frequency control and
accurate load regulation are key requirements in
these applications. The available remote control
interfaces and SCPI command language provide
for easy integration into existing ATE systems.
The BPS Series eliminates the need for several
additional pieces of test equipment, saving
cost and space. Instrument drivers for popular
programming environments such as National
Instruments LabView™ are available to speed up
system integration.
Choice of voltage ranges
Standard voltage ranges are 150V L-N
(259V L-L) and 300V (519V L-L) and are direct
coupled output.
For applications requiring more than 300V L-N
(or 519V L-L), the optional -HV output
transformer provides a third additional
400V L-N and 693 V L-L output range which is
internal to the AC chassis. No external magnetics
modules are required.
Multi-Box Configurations
For high power applications, two BPS75 or BS90
chassis can be combined to provide 150kVA or
180kVA of output power. For higher power
requirement please contact sales for custom
configurations.
