DC power supplies

30 January 2002 Power Electronics / Power Management

Kikusui has introduced new DC power supplies, the PAM series with a choice of eight model variations. The PAM series consists of large-capacity, variable-switching DC power supplies based on the the design concepts of high quality and high cost performance.

The series offers large-capacity power devices to limit temperature rise, minimising temperature dependence and improving reliability, also offering a TP-BUS-based digital communication function which can be configured for a system up to 448 channels in combination with optional controller PIA4800 series.

Key features are: four-digit indication display; large adjustment dial; three point memory function; digital communication function; GPIB compatible.

Models in this series are controlled with a large control knob and feature a three-point memory function that allows one to pre-store output settings (voltages and current values).

These models do not require radiation space at the upper and lower parts of the main body, allowing greater installation density when installing into a rack. They also incorporate air filters.

As DC-DC converters, batteries, automobile electrical components, and motor- operated tools have shifted to high voltage or large capacity formats, the voltage ranges required for margin testing have changed. To meet these changing needs, the PAM series provides a rated output voltage range of 40, 80, 160 and 320 V. This allows the PAM series to handle tests at 150% of 24 V (36 V) or at 150% of 48 V (72 V) with capacity to spare.
