Programmable AC/DC Power Source EC750SA/EC1000SA

The hybrid power contol integrates the negative feedback control (analog control technology), which is NF’s core technology, and intelligent digital control technology. Analog technology is provided when wide-band, high response is required, and digital technology is provided for flexible control according to load condition. The hybrid power control achieves highly stable and robust output by taking full advantage of both analog and digital characteristics.

Basic Performance and Functions

A Variety of Outputs With AC, full-power output is also available for DC. In the AC+DC mode, an AC wave (sine wave, square wave, or arbitrary waveform) can be super- imposed on the DC output.

AC

AC output voltage range Maximum output current*1 100 V range : 0 V to 155 V, resolution of 0.1 V 10 A 200 V range : 0 V to 310 V, resolution of 0.1 V 5 A *1The limit on max. output power reduces max. output current. Output frequency range (internal, internal/external) Resolution 1 Hz to 550 Hz 0.1 Hz

DC

DC output voltage range*2 Maximum output current*1 100 V range : -220 V to +220 V, resolution of 0.1 V 10 A 200 V range : -440 V to +440 V, resolution of 0.1 V 5 A *1The limit on max. output power reduces max. output current. *2The ranges in the AC superimposition are AC output voltage ranges (See the above table.)

Operation mode

Eight output modes, combining two operation modes and four signal source modes can be set. The most appropriate mode for an application can be selected.

Operation modes Alternating current (AC), direct current (AC + DC) Signal source modes Internal (INT), external (EXT), internal/external (ADD), external synchronization (SYNC)

Maximum output peak current

A peak current up to four times as large as the maximum current (RMS values) can be output at the rated output voltage. The EC series also supports capacitor input load (up to crest factor 4).

Limiter function

Output current limits can be set with positive/negative values, and RMS values. In the evaluation of a prototype, this function is useful for protection when an abnormal current is caused by abnormal operation of the load.

Protection function

The EC series has a built-in function for protecting the power source itself if a problem occurs due to issues such as output overvoltage or overcurrent, power unit trouble, internal control problems. If a problem occurs, it is displayed on the panel and output is turned off.

Mesurement function

The EC series is equipped with high accuracy measurement functions for measuring synchronization frequencies, load power factors, and even the harmonic currents, in addition to the voltage, current and output power. Setting values and measurement values are simultaneously displayed on large-screen display.
