RPSb range

Optional Modules

Additional control modes

Allowing multiple control modes: - Constant Power - Analog voltage - Analog current

Zero Thermal Drift

ADC and burden resistor used in data acquisition for the current digital control loop, are located inside a peltier chamber to ensure operation at 25 ºC with ±0.1ºC deviation. Thermal grease inside the chamber: assuring thermal distribution and avoiding relative humidity impact in the measurements.

Dynamic Air Flow monitoring and maintenance warning

Real time monitoring the internal air flow by anemometer (not by fan speed) Maintenance warning for filter cleaning.

Precision ground current monitoring (nA)

Permanent ground current monitoring for load´s ground insulation checking and ground fuse checking

Extra external interlocks

Extra external interlocks to provide 4 input and 3 output interlocks. One output interlock is solid state, works at fast speed. Two output interlocks are potential-free contacts, mechanical relays that work at slow speed. All interlock inputs are hardware (fast speed

Remote sensing

Remote voltage sensing to avoid voltage drop in cables by measuring real voltage on the load.

Active temperature monitoring

Key points temperature is monitored in the converter. Points such as semiconductors, high frequency transformer, input and output fans are controlled to ensure the correct operation of the device and to prevent possible failures. All the information is displayed in the Power Flow Screen.

Power lock

Allows centralized switch ON/OFF of a group of power supplies. The power button can be canceled allowing multiple devices to start simultaneously

External trigger

External 0 – 10 V trigger input for analog control

Long term data storage

RPSu stores many parameters in a database. Those parameters can be displayed on charts, user can choose which parameters to display. All parameters data are stored from the first day of operation of the RPSu. Those can be downloaded from USB port.

Noise immunity

· Switching semiconductors are driven by means of an optical fiber digital transmitter, achieving the highest performance in terms of speed, bandwith, attenuation and noise immunity.
· Optic fiber drivers.
· The power supply uses a high frequency transformer designed to minimize the dispersed flow, preventing induced currents and noise generation.
