ProgrammingCircuitConsiderations When Specifying aDC Power SupplyArticleBy Philip JoostenSystem integration made easy.Almost every automated test system that testselectronic circuit boards, modules or equipmentneeds one or more power supplies.This could be DC to simulate the DC power-bus withinthe equipment that powers the internal circuit boards ormodules or this could be AC to simulate the AC mains ofdifferent countries or the AC power-bus used in aircrafts.In any case the power supply simulates the environmentthe electronic circuitry is used in, thus it is the deviceunder test (DUT) that determines the power supplyrequirements. In addition, we need to consider therequirements for margin testing. This means what internalor external standards apply to this DUT. For instancesome automotive standards require margin testing up to27VDC on a 12VDC device. This means that although theDUT runs nominal on 12VDC, the maximum test voltageis much higher.In the next paragraphs I would like to discuss mostcommon power supply parameters to be consideredwhen selecting a power supply to match your DUT testingrequirements.VoltsVoltsNoise Profile onLinear vs. SwitchingTypical linear power supplyTimeTypical switching power supplyTimeRMS ripple, measured up to300 kHz with an RMS voltmeter.Peak-to-Peak noise, measuredfrom 20 Hz to 20 MHz, generallywith an oscilloscopeAC InputDC Output-Basic Linear Power SupplyRipple & NoiseRipple & noise specifications are traditionally the firstspecifications we look at. This is important, becausethe first choice we must make is that between a linearor switch-mode DC power supply. Actually there arethree main topologies of DC programmable powersupplies to consider: linear, switch-mode and hybrid. Thelinear power supply has low ripple & noise and has fasttransient behaviors. However, it’s inefficient, producinga lot of heat in the air and becomes large and heavy andis therefore only desirable at lower output power levels(typically less then 500 Watts). Most linear DC powersupplies are bench-type supplies. The following are twomain reasons to consider a linear bench supply. First,when the DUT is a communication device like an RF radioor mobile phone, or the demodulator module of a radarsystem. What this type of equipment has in common is avery sensitive discriminator or demodulator circuitry thatworks the best with a low noise figure. In other words,to test its true signal-to-noise (S/N in dB) performance,we need to ensure that the DC power supply does notadd any parasitical noise to the test setup. The secondreason to consider a bench-type supply is when the powerrequirements are low. The main benefits for a switchmodesupply are only relevant at higher output powerlevels. It will be less expensive to use linear DC powersupplies in applications with requirements not more then100 to 200 Watts per DC output channel. Important+to consider is the total power of all required DC outputchannels combined. Up to four channels it could beeasier to just take four linear bench supplies in a 19-inchrack-mount kit. In switch-mode technology, 12 channelstogether providing over four thousand Watts will take thesame rack-space, with less complex multi-channel controlfor a similar price per channel.If ripple & noise is not the driving specification, realizethat switch-mode programmable supplies do give youmore flexibility. Switch-mode programmable suppliesprovide more value, or output power, for the same pricein a smaller box. Better stated, they provide a larger DCoutput voltage and current range, covering differentneeds for testing your DUT.12-channels linear;total 1000W12-channels switch-mode;total 4000WDimension comparisons are to scaleTransient responseOver the years, innovative topology in power electronics(like zero-switching), has improved the ripple & noisespecifications of switch-mode power supplies dramaticallyand pushed this requirement to the background.

Normally this effect shouldbe very small (less then 0.01% of set output voltage).Only when the internal impedance of the programmablepower supply is relatively high, the load regulationbecomes an unwanted factor.Line RegulationOne of the requirements for an ATE is that it can beused in different countries of the world. The test systemis designed in one country, but used at an offshoreproduction facility in another country. Often the AC mainsis not that stable, or not even the same AC voltage (http://kropla.com/electric2.htm). Line regulation specifies thepercent change of the DC output voltage or current as afunction of AC input line voltage change.AC input voltagePSUDC output voltagecapacitor to support 60VDC maximum DC output range,the capacitance will be much smaller than the 30VDCprogrammable supply, thus to program from zero (0) to 30or 60 VDC will take the same rise-time. In other words,when looking at the rise-time in V/ms, the 60 volts powersupply will be twice as fast.How to improve the DC output fall-time: Use a pre-loadin parallel with the DUT or DC output of the power supply.Ensure that the total current demand of the pre-load andthe DUT combined is at least 65% of the programmablepower supply’s current capability.This approach requires more power from the supply asmore DC output voltage range is required with the sameoutput current demand. Also current slew-rate depends onthe programmable power supply output stage, but is lessdifferent between different models of DC power supplies.Typically the output current slew-rate is 45A/ms. AMETEKalso makes some DC power supplies to support solid-statelaser applications. These are current sources with anoutput current slew-rate up to 400A/ms.Faster current slew-rates are possible by putting anelectronic load in series wit the power supply andusing the electronic load as a current modulator.This combination allows for a current slew-rateup to 6000A/ms.Load regulationA similar specification of programmable power supplies isload regulation. This means a permanent output voltage100%0%Output voltageLoad currentPercent change of the output voltageas a function of load changeStabilityStability specifies the long-term drift of output voltageand current. To related more specifically to an application,users want to know how repeatable is the programmablepower supply in its output voltage and/or current set-pointaccuracy. In short, this is a repeatability specification, notan absolute specification for set-point accuracy. Whatmost users really need to ensure when the supply isprogrammed to a specific value it always comes back tothat same value as close as possible over a long periodof time. A typical application is magnet drive, in whichthe programmable supply works as a current source inconstant current mode. What the user really wants is toreturn back to the exact magnetic flux value, thereforeto control the DC output current to exactly the sameset-point value. Stability is primarily specified in parts-permillionor PPM.Parallel operationIf more output current is required, paralleling powersupply outputs is generally the solution. AMETEK uses adedicated parallel control bus that daisy-chains multiplepower supplies in parallel. The benefit of this dedicatedparalleling bus is that the total performance of the unitsin parallel still meets the original specifications for justone single power supply. The system configures itselfautomatically, identifying which unit is the master andwhich units are the slaves. With fast transient DUT’s itis sometimes recommended to use protection blockingdiodes in the positive output line of each power supply.When paralleling, the different programmable suppliesused can be from a different current range, but shouldhave the same output voltage range. All manual or remotecontrol is done through the master unit. Any sense linesare also connected only through the master unit.Do realize that the total current is the sum of the currentvalues displayed on each individual power supply. Someadvanced models can compute and display the totalsystem current (e.g.: SGI from Sorensen).858.458.0223 sales@ProgrammablePower.com11

Mostother drivers can be created by easy conversion of an IVIdriver.[% offuse rating]Series operationSeries operation sounds simple, “just put multiple suppliesin series by connecting the positive from one supply tothe negative of the other supply.” True, but there aresome limitations. Every programmable power supply hasvoltage isolation specifications. One for the negativeto chassis isolation and one for the positive to chassisisolation. For example if the maximum allowable isolationfrom the negative to chassis is 150VDC and the maximumallowable isolation from the positive to chassis is 600VDC,one could take a 150V power supply and put in seriesa 600V power supply as long as the total set voltagestogether do not exceed more then 600VDC.The highest serial output voltage AMETEK can provideis 1200VDC, but only when the common is connectedto chassis-ground and the DUT that is connected acrossthe 1200VDC remains floating. Typical application: solarinverter testing. With series operation there is no master/slave concept. In other words, all series power suppliesneed to be programmed individually. When using remotecontrol for this, all interfaces need to be galvanicallyisolated through opto-couplers. In the AMETEKprogrammable power supplies, isolated interfaces are,analog, RS-232, RS-485 and Ethernet.Digital programmingIn general the output voltage and current is set mostaccurately with the highest resolution through its differentdigital interfaces. For this the interface set-point accuracyand resolution to set the output voltage and current isspecified. AMETEK offers RS-232, RS-485, USB, GPIB andEthernet control. The digital infrastructure of all thesedigital interfaces provides a 16-bit resolution with a multipointinternal reference table to calibrate for the DAC’slinearity and offset errors. Important is that all interfacesare SCPI compliant to accommodate easy programming ofthe power supply and low switching costs.Through digital programming with SCPI commands, manymore features can be activated, such as sequencing.Controlling the power supply through SCPI commandstakes 25 to 50 ms per command. The sequence capabilityallows you to download an auto-run program that canrun through a sequence of voltage or current steps or true200%150%100%50%0 0.25 0.50 0.75 1.00 [sec]Fast output current profile createdthrough sequence programmingsupporting fuse rating test135%125%50%Analog programmingEvery AMETEK programmable power supply providesa standard and isolated analog interface. Through theanalog interface the DC output voltage, current andover-voltage-protection (OVP) can be set. The controlis through an analog voltage signal, current signal orresistor. The example would be to use a PLC to controlthe power supplies, or a thermistor controlling the outputof the supply. Also provided are voltage and currentmonitoring signal lines and control lines to enableor disable the power supply with ms reaction time.Important is that the analog control interface provides acontrol bandwidth, faster than the power supply outputvoltage and current slew-rate. AMETEK DC powersupplies provide a 2kHz bandwidth, ensuring that theanalog control interface is always faster than its outputcapabilities. Therefore the analog interface will never bethe limiting factor.Sense linesThe Sense feature “senses” (measures) and then regulatesthe voltage at the point it is connected to the output.When the sense leads are connected directly to the outputterminal of the power supply we call it “local sense”. Bydefault AMETEK delivers new power supplies configuredfor local sense. Depending on the model, the sense leadsmay be connected to the output internally or they may beconnected through external jumpers. For accurate outputvoltage setting, remote sense mode should be used. Inthis mode we regulate the power supply at the load.This method compensates for the voltage drop acrossthe leads. If sense lines are long, it is recommendedto use shielded cables to avoid any interference beingsuperimposed on the main DC output. Sense mode cancompensate a voltage drop much larger then the specified5% to 10 %. The issue is that other specifications, liketransient response, should not suffer from to large of asense loss.12www.ProgrammablePower.com

Considerations When Specifying aDC Power SupplyArticleOther considerations:Voltage source in constant voltage mode or currentsource in constant current mode. These considerationsdrive some of the relevance for different specifications.For instance, in constant current mode, sensing is notapplicable; neither is the output voltage set-point accuracyand resolution, but accurate current control is. Also, lessrelevant is the output voltage ripple & noise compared tothe current ripple & noise.In constant current mode the analog control can drivecurrent changes at least 100 times faster then outputvoltage changes. The crossover from voltage to currentmode is automatic. As soon as the current demand islarger then the set current limit, the DC power supplyregulates its voltage down to match the set current limitand keeps the output current constant. This crossoverprocess is a nano-second event.Inrush current:AMETEK programmable power supplies accommodateDUT’s with large inrush currents. The function is called“Foldback Mode.” It is a current limit with a timeconstants, settable with a milli-second resolution fromzero (0) to a 10-second range. This means that the powersupply will allow for a higher inrush current for a limitedamount of time, before disabling the power supply output.An application example would be any electric motor.Bench vs. linear power supply?When the application requires low DC power combinedwith low ripple & noise and fast transient response time(e.g. mobile phone testing), a linear-type bench supplycould be the best solution. Do realize that there are manylow-cost bench supplies on the market, meeting the ripple& noise and transient response requirements thought thevirtue of being from a linear topology. The issue you couldface is insufficient programming and read-back accuracyand resolution. Accuracy, resolution, interfacing andother digital features set good bench supplies apart formthe average performing models. In other words, “buyerbeware” for cheap deals.Verify the availability of accessories like rack-mount kits.An off-the-shelf rack-mount kit is always less expensivethan constructing one yourself.AMETEK latest model “XTR”850 Watts in half 19-inch form-factor (slightly biggerthen a car radio); comes in 12 voltage ranges; providesunique features like, foldback-mode, sequencing, memorysafe-mode, standard digital interfacing, standard isolatedanalog interface, wide-range PFC AC input, with great DCoutput specifications.About AMETEK Programmable PowerHeadquartered in San Diego, California, AMETEKProgrammable Power is the new global leader in thedesign and manufacture of precision, programmablepower supplies for R&D, test and measurement, processcontrol, power bus simulation and power conditioningapplications across diverse industrial segments.

High Ripple Current LoadsApplication NoteConsiderations when using switchmode power supplies todrive high ripple current loads such as motors and switchmode converters.For applications where there is a large ripple componentin the load current (such as DC-AC inverter/DC-DCconverter/DC motor loads), there are several unexpected(and undesirable) problems that can occur with sourcepower supplies of the switchmode type.The reason for this is that, unlike linear supplies, thepower is delivered to the output storage capacitors in‘packets’ at a regular rate (switching frequency). For asteady load, the converter supplies a predictable ‘packet’that keeps the capacitor ‘topped up’ and a steady outputis produced. This output capacitance must not be toolarge, however, for when it is desired to reduce theoutput voltage, this capacitance must discharge into theload, and under light load the slew rate can be quitelong. Under pulse load conditions, however, this outputcapacitance will significantly discharge upon applicationof the pulse load current and it will take a short time forthe control loop to increase the output of the converterto the new load requirement. Since the voltage on theoutput capacitor will have dropped, the converter wouldhave to supply almost infinite current into the capacitanceto bring it back to the set voltage. Since the converteroutput is current limited, recharge of the capacitance cantake several cycles.If the ripple element is more than about 5% of the DCcurrent, the power supply can start to have over-currentoperating phenomena either in the output over-currentdetection and control system or in the primary overcurrentsense and control system.If the pulse rate of the load is harmonically related to thepower supply switching frequencies, instability can occurin the control loops.High ripple currents can seriously over stress the outputcapacitors of the power supply and precipitate earlyfailure.The most practical solution to most of these problems isto provide sufficient low ESR external capacitance so thatthe power supply sees a steady DC load. To this end, oneneeds to provide capacitance that limits the ripple voltageto significantly less than 5% of the operating outputvoltage.As a general rule of thumb, one can compute the neededcapacitance from the peak output current and allowing,say, 2.5% of the operating output voltage as ripple; theduty cycle; and frequency of the load.C=(t/2.5%Vout) x I pk = (40 x t / Vout) x I pkWhere: C = faradst = secondsV = VoltsI = amperesGenerally, the capacitance will run between 1000uF and10,000uF per amp of peak load current, with the higherneeded at low output voltages and the lesser at higheroutput voltages.It is very important that the capacitor be of a so called‘computer grade’ which has a low ESR and can toleratevery high ripple currents. Typically it will be a screwterminal type, and it is essential that it be installedbetween the power supply and the load. Leads are runfrom the power supply output terminals to the capacitorterminals and a second set of leads run from the capacitorto the load, to force the current to flow through thecapacitor terminals.14www.ProgrammablePower.com

Advanced Electronic Power SimulationArticleBy Philip JoostenAdvanced electronic power simulation withunique specifications through basic powertest building blocks, creating more efficiency,effectiveness and flexibility for a lowerinvestment.Exciting times:The world market for cars is growing at a steady butmodest CAGR of approximately 7%. More interesting isto look at the growth of all electronic components withina car. Industry annalists expect that the electronic costcontent in a car will grow from 22% in 2005 to 40%in 2010. This means that the market for electronic carcomponents show a CAGR of approximately 15%. This istwice a much as the total growth of the car industry anddoubles the market in five years.Another growth factor is the continuous need for morepower within the car. What started with 6VDC batteriesat a few hundred Watts has become kilo Watts at 12VDCor 24VDC. All this need for more power is causing theDC current through the DC bus to increase dramatically.Hence the discussions to increase the cal DC voltage busto 42VDC.The need for testing also dramatically increases. Wherein the past there was just a few electronic components,there is now many hundreds of electronic devices. A cartoday can have up to a hundred circuits with some kind ofmicro-processor installed.Two types if testing needs to be done. Each electronicdevice needs to be tested individually. And later,integration testing needs to be performed to ensure thatall these devices do not interfere with each other andcause the total car to fail.Both types of testing happen during R&D and duringproduction. During the R&D phase, mainly margin testingand integration testing has the highest priority. Duringproduction the focus is mainly burn-in & test.With more power comes cheaperand better specifications.This article focuses on power simulation of the car. Forthis purpose, several specialized power sub-systems existon the market today. Their attributes are low ripple &noise, fast voltage slew-rate and low transient responsetime. Lets first review why these attributes are soimportant. For this we need to start with the ISO 7637standard (see figure 1). Required is a 5ms fall-time over9 Volts or a 2Hz sine wave superposed on a 5 Volts DCoffset level. This kind of power simulation signal requiresa fast DC output slew-rate. To do this with a switch-modeDC power supply brings the advantage of high DC outputcurrent for a reasonable price in a compact, high-powerdensity form-factor. But at the same time the DC outputtopology has a high stored energy, which does not allowfor fast output voltage changes. Required therefore isa down-programmer as part of the DC output topology.But still in many cases this is not always fast enough. Inthat case, we suggest to select a DC power supply with ahigher rated DC output voltage capability than requiredfor the application. For instance, the specific applicationrequires a 20VDC rated power supply. The selectedswitch-mode supply needs 40ms to go from 90% to 10%of the rated DC output -- in this case from 18 VDC to 2VDC. This means a DC output voltage slew-rate of 0.5 V/ms. Instead I would select a 60VDC rated switch-modepower supply. With a similar specification of 90% to 10%of the rated DC output voltage will take 40 ms, the outputvoltage fall-time is now 1.5V/ms. To drop 9 Volts willtake 6 ms. Very close to the requirement of the ISO 7637standard.The disadvantage of this method is that with threetimes the rated output voltage at the same currentrequirements, three times the power is needed. AtAMETEK, additional power in the same product familycomes with just 50 cents per Watt. A much cheaper andmore practical approach than specialized power supplysub-systems uniquely dedicated for specific automotiveapplications. And this last comment highlights anotherlarge benefit. A standard switch-mode DC power supplywith some extra power offers a higher degree of flexibilityto support other future applications, and thus a moreprotected investment.Figure. 1: ISO 7637 standardU/VU B0U Sf = 2HzVoltage transient at engine start-upUB=12V, US=3V, Ua=4Vtr

Figure 2 shows some of the many examples oftest scenarios used by the different car manufactures.A very practical method to reproduce these typical powersimulation waveforms is through an arbitrary waveformgenerator connected to the analog input for the DCoutput voltage control. Most switch-mode power supplyprovides an analog control input. This is normally a 25-pin connector allowing for many control functions, like:set output voltage, set current limit, voltage read-backmonitoring and current read-back monitoring. Typicallya zero (0) to five (5) or ten (10) volts signal will drivethe DC output voltage from zero (0) to maximum ratedvoltage. The benefits for the use of a general arbitrarywaveform generator is its extreme flexibility, combinedwith its memory depth and sequencing capability it canpotentially simulate any power transient behavior fornow or the future. Again I classify this as a very practicalsolution, because both the arbitrary waveform generatorand switch-mode power supply are very common andrelatively inexpensive pieces of equipment. Only twoattributes are really important to watch for: The analogcontrol input of the switch-mode DC power supply shouldhave a bandwidth of at least 1kHz and the arbitrarywaveform generator should be able to output at least10Vpp in an open circuit.Some switch-mode power supplies have an arbitrarywaveform generator built in. Of course this solution ismore compactly integrated. But mostly these built-inarbitrary waveform sequence generators lack the flexibilityan external dedicated arbitrary waveform generatorcan offer. In most cases the capability of the built-inarbitrary waveform sequence generators are adequatefor production purposes, but for R&D more flexibility isneeded. In case of such a built-in arbitrary sequencegenerator, a minimum requirement will be a voltage,current or power ramp of 1ms or less and a sequenceprogramming resolution of 1ms or less.The next power supply attribute to discuss is transientresponse. Very high current demands are activated on andoff in a car. Figure 3 shows the same ISO 7637 standard,but now with the typical corresponding current demands.These large current demand changes causetransients in the DC output voltage.Figure 4 shows the transient effects on the DC outputvoltage of a switch-mode power supply due to largecurrent changes. Important specifications are the sizeof the overshoot and the time it takes to recover back tothe set output voltage. The internal voltage control-loopregulates this. The faster the voltage control-loop thehigher the overshoot. The slower the voltage control-loopthe longer it takes for the power supply to recover to theset voltage.A large portion of automotive electronics testing relatesto breakers, fuses, relays, etc. To perform these testsproperly without damaging the devise under test due tothe test method alone, the voltage overshoot needs to bekept to a minimum. To achieve this the current demandstep for the power supply needs to be reduced. A smallercurrent demand step will cause smaller overshoots. Asimple way to avoid these overshoots, is to put a preloadin parallel with the devise under test (see figure5). Imagine that 50% of the current travels through16www.ProgrammablePower.com

Advanced Electronic Power SimulationArticlethis additional pre-load and 50% through the deviceunder test. When the device under test creates a 100%current demand step, the power supply only sees a 50%current demand change. Always a base current demandremains present. For the power supply to manage 50%in current demand changes, instead of 100%, is mucheasier and almost eliminates the effect of high voltageovershoots and therefore eliminates any damage on thedevice under test. A simple inexpensive resistive load canbe used in this case to function as a pre-load. Any ratiois fine. In other words, to obtain the transient responseand overshoot specifications improvements it does notreally matter if this load absorbs 40%, 50% or 60% ofthe current demand. Again the same disadvantage arises;twice as much current is required, therefore more poweris required. And also in this case, more power comesat 50 cents per Watt. In other words, increasing poweris a relative simple and inexpensive method to obtainsignificantly better specifications.In conclusion:More power capability from a general-purpose switchmodepower supply can substitute the need for specializedlinear-type unique power supplies. The benefits are muchlower capital investment and much smaller form-factor.This philosophy will not completely eliminate the need forthese high-end specialized power simulation subsystems,but it will provide a choice to allocate capital budgetmore effectively in a practical way to support automotiveelectronics power simulation test needs. At least in 90%of all cases this philosophy provides a more flexiblealternative.About AMETEKHeadquartered in San Diego, California, AMETEKProgrammable Power is the new global leader in thedesign and manufacture of precision, programmablepower supplies for R&D, test and measurement, processcontrol, power bus simulation and power conditioningapplications across diverse industrial segments.

Hybrid Car Power SimulationBy Philip JoostenBack to the rootsMore then 100 years ago, in the early days of cardevelopment, the technical advances between electricmotor powered vehicles and combustion engine powervehicles was a neck on neck race. In fact, it was anelectrical motor driven car that past for the first time aspeed of over 100 km per hour. The problem was storingenough electrical energy to give an electrical powered carsufficient practical driving radius. And that is where thecombustion engine was wining the race. Gasoline is somuch easier to store and bring along, giving a car a largedriving radius.Today, over 100 years later, with a lot more newtechnology and not to forget, rising fuel prices, hybridcars are a very realistic alternative to the conventionalcombustion engine only car. And again energy storage isone of the main challenges requiring very sophisticatedmodules managing and storing the required electricalenergy. Interesting is that safety aspects for both theconventional gasoline tank and the new sophisticatedhigh-voltage batteries as are important. Overheatingsuch a specialized battery through overcharging can causesignificant damage to the total vehicle. Therefore a lotof testing and power simulation is required during thedevelopment phase, long-term environmental testing andburn-in during production test.Types of Hybrid carsHybrid vehicles are also not a new technology. Forinstance diesel electric locomotives are from the SeriesHybrid type. Parallel hybrid systems, which are mostcommonly produced at present, have both an internalcombustion engine and an electric motor connectedto a mechanical transmission. Most designs combinea large electrical generator and a motor into one unit,often located between the combustion engine and thetransmission, replacing both the conventional startermotor and the alternator. To store power, a hybrid uses alarge battery pack with a higher voltage (up to 440VDC)than the normal automotive 12 volts. Accessories suchas power steering and air conditioning are poweredby electric motors instead of being attached to thecombustion engine. This allows efficiency gains as theaccessories can run at a constant speed, regardlessof how fast the combustion engine is running. Thestarter motor function is now integrated between theengine and the transmission, allows for the car to startinstantaneously. This means that every time the car isidling in neutral mode, the engine shots down and isrestarted as soon as the car is put in its first gear.Combined hybrid systems have features of bothseries and parallel hybrids. They incorporate power-splitdevices allowing for power paths from the engine tothe wheels that can be either mechanical or electrical.The main principle behind this system is the decouplingof the power supplied by the engine (or other primarysource) from the power demanded by the driver. In aconventional vehicle, a larger engine is used to provideacceleration from standstill than one needed for steadyspeed cruising. This is because a combustion engine’storque is minimal at lower RPMs, as the engine is its ownair pump. On the other hand, an electric motor exhibitsmaximum torque at stall and is well suited to complementthe engine’s torque deficiency at low RPMs. In a combinedhybrid, a smaller, less flexible, and highly efficient enginecan be used.A hybrid car has many operation modes. On thehighway, when the car is running on a constant speed, acombustion engine becomes relative fuel efficient. At thesame time the car is driving at relative high speed. In thatcase the car operates solely on its combustion engine andis charging the main battery. Next is stop & go traffic inthe city. In that case the car with its combustion engineis very uneconomical. This is the ideal scenario to runBatteryFuel TankGenerator(3-phase AC)ChargeControlAC/DCConverter3-phase ACMotorCombustionEngineCombined Hybrid Vehicle18www.ProgrammablePower.com

Hybrid Car Power SimulationArticleon the electro motors and therefore discharge the mainbattery. At fast acceleration, the electro motor can assistthe combustion engine with the instantaneous powerdemands. Or vise versa, when breaking, the inductionpower of the electro motor can assist with breakingpower and re-generate electrical energy back into themain battery. All these operation modes are managed bythe charge controller, combined with the power converterapplying power from the battery to the electro motor.What these scenarios show is that the main battery isconstantly changing from charge to discharge mode,all managed by a charge controller / power convertermodule. And on the other side, the electro motors,running at a moderate constant speed, either driving thecar or generating electrical power to charge the battery orthat same electro motor is in high acceleration mode, tostart the car or slowdown the car.To test this charge controller / power converter modulewe need on one side a battery simulator and on the otherside an electro motor simulator. The range of these highvoltagebatteries varies from 280 to 440 VDC. Thereforea high power programmable DC power supply is requiredup to 100 Amps at 450VDC or more. The AMETEK modelSGI provides a unique sequence programming that allowsdifferent declining voltage slopes over time at a decliningstate of charge based on a fixed DC current demandin battery discharge mode dynamic simulation. Theelectronic load simulates the battery charge mode. Alsoin this case dynamic simulation can be performed throughsequence programming of the simulated charge inputcurrent. By changing constantly from charge to dischargemode, when at the same time the charge controllermodule is in some kind of a HALT chamber, simulatingshock & vibration and high & low ambient temperatures,will ensure a real-life environmental test as if your hybridcar was used in the north of Sweden at winter time or inthe Nevada desert at summer time.On the other side of the charge control module / powerconverter module is the electro motor. With most of thehybrid car manufacturers I have encountered the use of3-phase AC electro motors up to 380VAC. To simulatethe charge process, we need a 3-phase AC programmablepower supply. This AC power supply must be capable offast fluctuating output AC voltage and variable frequency.Sequence programming can simulate both the breakingenergy re-generation as well as the more steady-statehigh-speed charge mode. During these simulationscenarios it is important to measure parameters like, peakcurrent,phase imbalance, etc. Therefore a build-in poweranalyzer makes such a test setup easy to realize.To test the electric drive train, the same AC or DCprogrammable power supplies can be used. But oftenmore power is required. For this reason I would select anAC or DC power supply that is easy to parallel on the flyto provide that extra flexibility of additional power.I have come across hybrid car designs were the mainand only battery is the high-voltage battery. To createthe standard low-voltage 12VDC power-bus, Highcurrent DC/DC-converters are used. Or in addition DC/DC-converters to create a 42VDC power-bus, to drivehigh power components like electronic breaks. Actuatorsused in electronic breaks that would run at 12VDC needto much drive current, causing the electrical wiring tothick, being thicker then the hydraulics it replaces. Theintroduction of these DC/DC-converters requires a lot ofadditional testing. On the input side is a programmableDC power supply connected to perform any margin testingand at the output is a DC electronic load connected. Theadvance sequencing capability in such an electronic loadcan simulate fast and high current demand change, likeactivating actuators, etc. Important is that the electronicload provides enough bandwidth to support a fast dI/dT. To support these applications, the AMETEK electronicloads are capable of 20kHz bandwidth, with a currentslew-rate of 4000 A/ms.AC out singleor 3-phase“SLH” high-power AC/DC E-loadsMotorGeneratorCD in0-600VDC0-150kWIn this example; three (3) units inmaster / slave operation (in phase-lock)Charge controller module Motor/generator test858.458.0223 sales@ProgrammablePower.comsetup19

Hybrid Car Power SimulationLastly is battery testing. Environmental testing ofbatteries is crucial, because the battery performancedepends greatly on its ambient temperature. Thistesting is very time consuming. Many daurtests atmany temperature ranges. Again a combination of aDC programmable power supply and electronic load isrequired to simulate the charge and discharge process, butthis time at relative lower DC power. The charge currentsare limited to protect the battery from overheating. Anice feature AMETEK offers in this case is constant powermode, where the charge current decreases automaticallywhen the DC voltage increases.In all my visits to many customers, it was rare to encounteran environment with so many different power simulationand testing requirements. Hybrid car testing is one ofthe few application examples where we need AC and DCpower as well as AC and DC loads, in both low-voltageand high-voltage ranges. Perhaps it is good to look at apower test equipment manufacturer that can provide allneeded equipment from its standard available productportfolio.20www.ProgrammablePower.com

Remote SensingApplication NoteApplication NotePurposeImplement remote sensing to compensate for voltagedrop in load lines.BackgroundAs energy is transferred from the power supply to theload by means of load leads, a voltage drop across theload leads occurs and may significantly interfere with loadregulation. Remote sensing is a method of compensatingfor this load lead effect on the output of the power supply.When to use Remote SensingYou should use remote sensing in applications wherethe load is located some distance, typically >10 feet (3meters), from the power supply output terminals.You should also use remote sensing if the measuredvoltage at the load input power terminals is significantlylower than the voltage measured at the power supplyoutput terminals. The difference in voltage is based on theamount of current and the load lead size and length.Calculating Voltage DropTo calculate voltage drop of the load lines, first calculatethe resistance of the load leads. Resistance = (Load linelength in feet \ 100 ft) * resistivity coefficient in Ohms(Column 3 in the following table). Then apply Ohms law:Volts = Amps * Ohms.Column 1 Column 2 Column 3 Column 4Size(AWG)Consult the power supply operation manualfor maximum voltage drop compensationthe sense lines can correct for.Amperes(Maximum)Ohms/100ft(one-way)IR Drop/100ft(Col. 2x Col. 3)14 15 0.257 3.8512 20 0.162 3.2410 30 0.102 3.068 40 0.064 2.566 55 0.043 2.364 70 0.025 1.752 95 0.015 1.421/0 125 0.010 1.253/0 165 0.006 1.04ExampleLoad is 25 feet from the power supply, so total cablelength is 50 feet. Load draws 15 Amps through a #12American Wire Gauge (AWG) line; calculate voltage drop:Resistance = 50 / 100 * 0.162 » 0.081WVoltage Drop = 15 * 0.081 » 1.215 voltsTypically #24 - #18 (AWG) is recommended.Noise and Impedance EffectsTo minimize noise pickup or radiation from load circuits,load wires and remote sense wires should be twisted–pairwith minimum lead length. Shielding of the sense leadsmay be necessary in high noise environments. Even ifnoise is not a concern, the load and remote sense wiresshould be twisted–pairs to reduce coupling betweenthem, which could impact the stability of the powersupply. If connectors are utilized for the power and senseleads, be careful not to introduce coupling between theleads. Ensure that the connector terminals for the senseleads are in adjacent locations, and minimize the physicalloop area of the untwisted portions. Ideally, the senseleads should be separated from the power leads andshould have their own connector.Twisting the load wires provides an additional benefitin reducing the parasitic inductance of the cable. Thisimproves the dynamic response characteristics at the loadby maintaining low source impedance at high frequencies.Also, with long load wires, the resultant inductance andresistance could produce high frequency voltage spikes atthe load because of current variations in the load itself.The impedance introduced between the output of thepower supply and the load could make the ripple/noiseat the load worse than the specifications of the powersupply (which are valid when measured at the rear panelbus bars). Additional filtering with bypass capacitors atthe load terminals may be required to bypass the highfrequency load currents.In addition, when operating with external sense, therecommendation is that it be done with twisted shieldedpair, with one end of the shielding connected to groundclose to the sense connector. The other end does notneed to be connected.SetupTo use remote voltage sensing, connect the power supplyoutput to the load input terminals. Next, connect thesense lines to the load input as illustrated below.Remote Sensing Operation at the LoadPOWER SUPPLYGND STUDREMOTE (+) SENSE *REMOTE (-) SENSE *SHIELDTWISTED CABLELOAD(+) INSelecting Sense CablesSense lines carry very little current due to higher inputimpedance (typically 1kΩ; refer to operation manual forinput impedance of specific supply) than the load lines.Sense line wire gauge should be selected so that thereis no greater than a 100 mV drop across the sense lines.(+) OUT(-) OUT(-) INTWISTED OR PARALLEL CABLE858.458.0223 sales@ProgrammablePower.com21

This streamlined front panellayout results in fast, intuitive set-up and operation ofthe XG / XTR Series.High ReliabilityTo guarantee long-term trouble-free performance, theXG / XTR Series was designed with reliability in mind. Softswitchingtechnology ensures higher mean time betweenfailure (MTBF) by eliminating high voltage transients foundin conventional hard-switching power supplies which cancause premature failure of power components. AMETEKengineers also rigorously tested the XG / XTR Series duringthe design phase using Highly Accelerated Life Testing(HALT). This rigorous test procedure combines powerfulthermal and vibration technologies to stress a productbeyond its rated specifications. HALT testing allows ourengineers to uncover and correct design issues early in thedevelopment cycle. This care in design and comprehensivetesting ensures the XG / XTR Series exceeds the reliabilityand quality standards of both AMETEK and our customers.858.458.0223 sales@ProgrammablePower.com29

When using remote sense, the total of the load voltage and the load line drops must not exceed the rated output of the power supply. For example, for an XG 6-110 in an application with 1 V ofload line loss (0.5 V/Line), the maximum available load voltage would be 6–1= 5 V. Note: The unit may operate at higher output voltages than this, but there is no guarantee that the power supplywill meet performance specifications. Ultimately, the upper limit of the output voltage will be determined by internal circuitry of the power supply (non-adjustable.)10. With rated, resistive load.11.

The designplatform provides a highly reliable power supplyfor years of constant use. The unique design isavailable in a variety of maximum voltages from8V to 600V and maximum currents from 1.7A to350A with low ripple and noise.This user-friendly platform can be controlled fromthe front panel with 10-turn potentiometers toadjust voltage, current and OVP settings. LEDsindicate over temperature, remote programming,shutdown and overvoltage protectionRemote control options allow full computercontrol through IEEE-488 (option M9C), LXIStandard Compliant* Ethernet LAN (optionM130) or RS-232 (options M9C, M130)Automotive Component TestThe 16-bit resolution of the Ethernetprogramming and hardware triggering allowsfor detailed sequencing associated with batteryfluctuation simulation. The tight load regulationcapability of the DCS series makes it a superiorsource for validation and acceptance testingand burn-in of automotive components. The20V models, in particular, provide a full range oftesting to simulate battery conditions. Margintesting of 12V and 14V nominal components,such as electronic control units (ECU) andelectromechanical components, is easily achieved.Rackmount ATE SystemsThe high power density of the DCS series makesit ideal for ATE System integration. The widevariety of voltage and current combinations in 1Uand 2U heights allows multiple voltage outputsin a small amount of space. The wide variety ofcontrol methods possible, allows easy integrationinto legacy systems as well as high speed systems.Battery ChargingBattery charging requires high accuracy voltageand stable current output for fast bulk andabsorption phase charging and high accuracyand stable voltage for float charging to avoid“gassing” the battery. The DCS series provides ahigh accuracy voltage output to optimize batterycharging. With the remote interface options, thecharging process can easily be automated forvolume production.)858.458.0223 sales@ProgrammablePower.com43

Using linear technology andunrivalled performance in regulation, outputnoise and dynamic performance is achieved.High precision is also achieved by usinginstrumentation quality 16-bit DAC to controlvoltage and current enabling voltage set pointsat 1 millivolt resolution. As the XDL is highlyaccurate, it can be used as a calibration source forsome handheld DMMs.Direct Numeric Keypad Entry and IncrementalRotary Control Unlike other digitally controlledunits, the XDL Series provides both numeric androtary control while the illuminated keys anddisplay legends provide instant confirmation ofsettings and status. Precise settings can be madeby direct numeric entry using the 0 to 9 keypad.For gradual settings, a jog wheel is available forincremental or decremental changes in voltagesteps of 0.1 volt, 1 millivolt or 10 millivolt andcurrent steps of 0.1 amp down to 0.1 milliamp.The jog wheel can be engaged permanently ordisabled.Multiple Ranges For Greater Flexibility The XDLSeries provides multiple ranges for voltage andcurrent settings. Each model offers three outputranges per output.For added convenience the XDL series providesstorage of up to ten power supply set-ups in nonvolatilememory (30 set-ups for a triple). Uponshutdown of the supply, the settings are savedand automatically restored at switch-on.OVP and OCP Trips with Alarm Output The XDLSeries provides fully adjustable over-voltage andover-current protection. The over-voltage andover-current protection feature provides a failsafemode of operation to prevent an accidentalor incorrect setting, as well as protect againstundesired load conditions. A trip conditionswitches the rear panel alarm signal, whichenables other equipment to be controlled. Alarmscan also be activated by over-temperature andexcess voltage on the sense terminals.USB/GPIB/RS-232 InterfaceThe multiple interface card enables remotecontrol and readback via either USB, GPIB or RS-232. On triple-output models, the single interfaceaddress controls all three outputs. The USBinterface is for medium speed PC connectivityand enables multiple devices to be connected.A Windows® device driver is supplied, whichcreates a virtual COM port, enabling USB to beused in applications that do not directly supportit. The GPIB interface conforms to IEEE488.2 andIEEE488.1Remote Sense and Local SenseThe XDL series provides full remote sensecapability via dedicated sense terminals tomaintain regulation at the load. When remotesense is not required, internal local sensing can beselected.Linked and Copy ModeThe XDL triple-output models have two identicalindependent and isolated outputs. In situationswhere the user wishes to set similar voltagesand current on both outputs, the “linked” modeis available. When linked, all adjustments aresimultaneously applied to both outputs. The“copy” function allows all the settings of oneoutput to be duplicated on the other prior tolinking. For greater flexibility and convenience,the outputs can be linked when set to differentvoltages or current, allowing separate settings tobe recalled into the linked mode memories forsimultaneous recall.858.458.0223 sales@ProgrammablePower.com99

How to Select an AC Power SourceArticleBy Martin R SandersHere are five practical guidelines forspecifying an ac power source to test dcpower supplies and other electronics in anend product1 Regulation should be tight, and distortion andimpedance low. No unknown fluctuations or distortionshould be injected into the device being powered in testapplications. Poor regulation and distortion can lead tofaulty test data that may not be discovered until unitsare in the field. Poor regulation leads to the effects of a“soft source.” A soft source has higher output impedanceand lower peak current capability than should be. Thisleads to a lack of proper stressing of components and ahigher rate of failures. For example, a dc power supplythat has never experienced the maximum inrush currentto its input rectifier stage and power components mayfail at the customer site when plugged into facilitypower. Engineering Society-approved methods for indoorluminaries, IES LM-41-1985. A “soft source” effect wouldtotally distort the proper testing of the lamp and ballast.2 The ac source should handle high inrush current, Theability of the ac power source to handle inrush dependsnot only on low source impedance, but also on the typeof current-lim- Another example of products requiringquality ac power is a lamp and ballast. In testing a lampand ballast, tight regulation (+/-O.l%), low distortion,and low source impedance are important to ensure thatthe voltage to the lamp and ballast combination does notvary by more than 2%. This allows proper testing of thelight intensity per the Illuminating iting scheme employed.There are two basic types of current-limiting schemesin ac sources: · Current-limiting foldback. · Currentlimitingshutdown. When sizing an ac source, considerthe maximum inrush current drawn by the load and howlong it lasts. Two of the biggest culprits in drawing highinrush currents are motors and power supplies. Inrushcurrents on these devices can range from 2 to 10 timesthe nominal run current. Inrush current durations rangefrom a few cycles to several seconds. AC power sourcesare designed to protect themselves from excessive inrushby either folding back the voltage (current limiting) orshutting down the output (current-limiting shutdown).The current-limiting foldback scheme is best for startingup high-inrush loads. The duration of the inrushdetermines the size of the power source. The longer theinrush duration, the larger the power source should besized. Improper sizing would result in the power supplyremaining in current-limiting foldback. A short inrush ofa few cycles simply results in a flattop waveform thatrecovers after the inrush has diminished. Also importantto consider is whether the actual inrush current of thedevice is to be measured. In this case, the ac sourceshould be sized for full peak inrush capability so thevoltage waveform never reaches foldback. For example,consumer products such as refrigerators and dishwashersneed a power source with high-inrush capability. All theseproducts have motors and pumps. Since most of theseproducts must also meet UL standards, only a few of themprobably need to be tested for full inrush capability. Theac source should exhibit tight line and load regulationcharacteristics.3. For high crest factor loads, select an ac source withlow impedance and high peak instantaneous currentcapability. Crest factor is defined as “the ratio of the peakcurrent amplitude to the rms amplitude of an alternatingcurrentor pulsating direct current waveform.” Most oftoday’s electronic equipment operates from a dc bus.This dc bus is derived from the ac line through rectifiersor switching supplies. Switch-mode power supplies orcapacitive input filter and rectifier loads draw currentin narrow pulses at the peaks of the voltage waveform.These pulses can be from 3 to 4 times the value of therms current. Many ac sources only provide a crest factorof 1.414 (the peak rms value). For high crest factor loads,it is important to select an ac source with low impedanceand high peak instantaneous current capability. Lowsource impedance facilitates the quick transfer of currentto the load. High peak current is provided from thesesources for pulse widths ranging from 60° to 30°. Thenarrower the pulse width, the higher the crest factorcapability of the high peak current source.4. Consider the derating of the power source for powerfactor or variations in voltage in the overall size. Mostlinear ac sources tend to derate their power capabilitybased on the power factor of the load. This is due both tothe added reactive power being dissipated by the sourceand the current being drawn much closer to zero crossingof the voltage waveform. The following graph showstypical derating for power factor and voltage variation inlinear ac sources. Switching ac power sources on the otherhand do not derate for power factor since they operatemuch more efficiently. The power devices operate muchPrimary applicationsfor AC supplies• Simple frequency conversion for50, 60, and 400 Hz• Real world power simulation,to produce sags, surges, anddropouts with voltage andfrequency variation.• Arbitrary waveform generationto replicate complex waveformsand distortion for applicationspecific test.858.458.0223 sales@ProgrammablePower.com131

How to Select an AC Power Sourcecooler and do not have to dissipate this reactive energy asin the linear source. Both switching and linear sources do,however, derate overall power with voltage adjustment.This should be taken into consideration for the worst-caselow-voltage variation for a device under test.5. Choose a source with a fast response time. Qualityac sources typically have response times of less than50 us. This is how long it takes the source to respondto a change in voltage, frequency, or even a step loadchange. Fast response times are needed to simulate realworld fluctuations in voltage sags, surges, dropouts, orspikes. Fast response time also helps in maintaining lowimpedance and tight regulation. Such a “stiff source”does not deviate from the desired value when switchingfrom no load to full load. New switching technologiesare now approaching linear performance. Typical ofsources that incorporate such technologies is the ElgarSmart Wave SW5250. It incorporates arbitrary waveformgenerator capability and even ac and dc from the samesupply, as well as low distortion, fast response time,and high efficiency. In properly sizing an ac supply, thedesigner should pay attention to detail as much aspossible so an intelligent choice can be made the firsttime.150PERCENT OF RATED OUTPUT VOLT-AMPERES140130120110100908070605040POWER FACTOR:UNITY0.70.50.303020100100 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0PERCENT OF RATED OUTPUT VOLTAGEMost linear ac sources tend to derate their power capability based on thepower factor of the load. A switch-mode ac source would not derate for powerfactor, so the source would stay on the unity for 0 to unity power factor load132www.ProgrammablePower.com

Crest Factor Definition and ExampleTechnical NotePurposeTo serve as a guideline in power source selection.Crest Factor DefinedThe crest factor and the peak currents of a load areimportant considerations in power source selection. Crestfactor is defined as the ratio of peak value to rms value ofa current waveform:The crest factor for a sinusoidal current waveform, suchas that which a pure resistive load would draw, is 1.414since the peak of a true sinusoid is 1.414 times the rmsvalue. However, the crest factor for a non-sinusoidalcurrent waveform can differ dramatically for loads thatare not power factor corrected, such as a switching powersupply or lamp ballast, which give a current waveformthat is short in duration but high in amplitude.Crest Factor ExampleThe following graph shows two current waveforms, onesinusoidal and one non-sinusoidal:Current2520151050-5-10-15-20-250 90 180 270 360AngleNote: Non-sinusoid current waveforms can be a much different shape thanthat which is depicted here.Discussion of ExampleThe blue trace is a 5A rms sinusoid with a peak currentof 7.07A:The red trace is a non-sinusoidal waveform that is also5A rms, but has a peak at 21.21A. The crest factor for thisexample is 4.24:1. A 5A rms current would have a peak of7.07A for a true sine, therefore:Since the same rms current level is drawn in bothexamples, the true power provided would be the samefor both (if the voltage were held at a constant level forboth examples). This means that a power source selectedto feed the loads at 120VAC would need to providethe 600VA that both loads require. However, the powersource rated for 600VA may not be able to provide therequired peak currents that the load demands.Power Source SelectionThe power source feeding the high crest factor loadwould need to be able to support the crest factor or havean output current that would provide this peak level. Inorder to determine the ability to provide the high crestfactor peak currents you need to look for ”peak repetitivecurrent” or “crest factor” in the data sheet or spec sheetof a power source.As a final note, peak currents are also important incalculating the voltage drop across conductors tominimize voltage drops.858.458.0223 sales@ProgrammablePower.com133


Testing Electric Motor Driven EquipmentApplication NoteApplication NoteIntroductionPrecision power sources, by AMETEK ProgrammablePower, can be used to test electric motor/drive systems.These systems may include either AC or DC motor types,sometimes combined with electronic controls. Motors aretypically used to drive pumps, blowers, fans, conveyors,elevators, printing presses, robotics equipment, NCmachinery, and a variety of appliances such as vacuumcleaners, mixers, refrigerators etc. This application notedescribes the features and capabilities of various powersources, and how they may be used to test products thatrely on electric motors.Motor types and applicationsElectric motors can be divided into categories byapplication, design type, or even by horsepower. DCmotors are commonly found in applications wherespeed control is required, or where only battery power isavailable. High power DC motors are used in many publictransportation systems such as subways. Brushless DCmotors, either permanent magnet or Switched Reluctance(SR) types are found in appliances such as vacuumcleaners. Many home appliances are driven by singlephase AC motors.Three phase induction motors are the industrial“workhorses” available in two basic types, the woundrotor and the squirrel cage motor.CI 3001i/5001iPower Source5-500 Hz0-300 V1 PhaseACMotorFigure 1 : Single Phase AC MotorCI 15003iPower Source5-500 Hz0-300 V3 PhaseACMotorFigure 2 : Three Phase AC MotorCI 500 1i15001iPower SourceDC0-300 Vup to 55 A+Figure 3 : DC Motor-DCMotorWhereas variable speed applications used to be theexclusive domain of DC motors, high power solid stateelectronics have made variable frequency AC drives (VFD)a popular choice. These modern pulsewidth modulated(PWM) variable speed drives offer energy savings in manycases where standard induction motors are used today.Those PWM-AC drives are therefore quickly finding theirway into many drive systems, even those with constantspeed-variable torque applications.Irrespective of type, be it AC or DC, more than 85 % of allmotors require less than 50 kVA in power, hence we areprimarily concerned with products in the power range upto this level. Generally, efficiency and operating reliabilityare the most important characteristics of any motor drivenequipment, although regulatory requirements play acritical role as well. Therefore, in addition to efficiency andreliability aspects, a number of other characteristics needto meet minimum standards.Motor Operating CharacteristicsFirst and foremost, the motor/driven equipment has toperform properly in its primary function, to reliably convertelectrical into mechanical energy, preferably in an efficientmanner, without affecting other (electrical) equipment.It is unacceptable if the motor or its electronic drive causeproblems for other equipment which may be connectedto the same line voltage. Tests therefore must includereliability and efficiency, as well as other operatingaspects. Modern power sources provide the requiredvoltages and drive frequency flexibility needed to performtesting in a consistent manner.· Overall efficiency and efficiency vs. load. Theuser can read the electricity consumption directlyfrom the power source, and thus determine inputpower for various conditions. For motors with ACdrives, the power source can take the place of thedrive, allowing the impact of different fundamentalfrequency and V/Hz settings on motor performance tobe established quickly.· Power consumption and line distortion. Distortionmay be caused by the motor or the controller. Currentharmonics, overall Power Factor, and the influence ofline voltage variations may need to be determined.· Inrush and operating current levels. The motor/drivenequipment must perform as required under variousload and line voltage conditions. It may be necessaryto establish current/torque at full load, locked-rotorcurrent, and the current at breakdown torque. For ACdrives, it may be necessary to evaluate the start-upbehavior with different current limit settings.858.458.0223 sales@ProgrammablePower.com135

Testing Electric Motor Driven Equipment· Determining system losses. When evaluating overallefficiency it is necessary to establish where lossescome from. This may include motor related lossessuch as Stator I2R losses, Core loss, Friction, and Straylosses, using the methods described in IEEE-Std-112 *. Test method C of this standard ( DuplicateMachines ) can be implemented using AMETEK’spower sources and two identical motors.· Emulating variable speed drives. The power sourcemay be operated as the “ideal” variable speed drive,as frequency and voltage can be varied, and evenbe swept across ranges as needed (see Figure 4).This allows the system integrator to test the drivenequipment under any condition. Also, the user canestablish (motor) operating temperatures for lowspeeds, check required skip ranges, determine therequired peak current levels, and even test brakingand reversed rotation capabilities.Power Source CapabilitiesReviewing the capabilities of modern power sources willhelp to better understand their test capabilities. Figure5 shows the basic architecture of a typical modern,programmable power source.For many fractional horsepower motors, a 3000VA outputcapability of an AC source will suffice. This source operatesfrom a single phase line voltage, from 188 - 264 Vrms,and a frequency of 45 - 66 Hz. As follows from Figure 5,the line voltage is first converted to DC, and then invertedto the desired voltage (and frequency), using state-of-theartpower electronics.Figure 4 : Voltage-Frequency Sweep @ 4 V / HzVariable frequency and voltageThe power sources can produce either AC or DC outputvoltages, in two ranges of 0 - 135 and 0 - 270 Volt. TheAC voltage can be set to frequencies from 5 to 500 Hz.Current limits can be set as required, although the sourcescan drive high inrush currents. In fact, AMETEK AC powersources can support peak currents up to 110 Amp. This isimportant when measuring locked rotor or motor inrushcurrent.

The power source can becontrolled by a PC through the Graphical User Interface(GUI) software and provide detailed voltage and currentanalysis (Figure 7).Line distortion simulationAs many as 32 test sequences to emulate line transients,drop-outs, power sags, etc. can be selected by theuser. The power source can be programmed to performpowerful motor tests with user defined voltage harmonics.Harmonics may cause motor temperatures to increase.Also, mechanical problems, not detected with nice cleansupply lines, may show up when operating with distortedsupply voltages.Line induced vibration/torsion transientsThe 5th and 11th harmonic currents produce negativephase sequences, which in turn may excite torsionalresonances. This is of particular importance for completedrive systems, with speed reduction/step-up gears, pumps,blowers, conveyors, fans etc.Line drop-outs or voltage surges can also causemechanical problems. New standards are going intoeffect, which require the manufacturer to test electricalequipment under these adverse supply line conditions.The new IEC1000-4-11, Edition 2.0 standard calls for aspecific set of voltage dips, interruptions and variations,which electronic and electrical equipment must withstandwithout causing danger or adverse consequences forthe user. The specified voltage fluctuations are based onelaborate survey data, obtained in industrialized countries.Table 1 (next page) shows the typical number of linedisturbances per year, classified by severity, that havebeen measured in European countries. As the table shows,voltage dips up to 30 % with a duration of 0.01 - 0.1second occur 61 times per year. Similarly, voltage dips upto 60 %, with durations ranging from 0.1 - 3 seconds,total 49 times per year (8 + 36 + 4 + 1) hence aboutonce per week. Even more severe dips (drop-outs) occurrelatively frequently.Figure 7 : Harmonic AnalysisOften the motor and motor drive equipment, when testedseparately at each manufacturer’s facility, perform justfine during line disturbances. Once coupled together,the combined system could still be susceptible to linedisturbances. For systems controlled by an electronic drive,transient problems may be compounded for the longerduration voltage dips. Typically, the drive has the abilityto “ride through” voltage dips lasting only a few cycles.Depending on load condition, longer dips may causethe drive to completely reset, and turn off the output oractivate a new start-up cycle. Therefore, the completedrive system needs to be verified under various operatingand supply line conditions. These supply line conditionscan be simulated at will with the modern solid statepower source.858.458.0223 sales@ProgrammablePower.com137

Testing Electric Motor Driven EquipmentConclusionsElectrical motor driven pumps, fans, blowers etc. need tobe tested for supply line conditions they will encounter.These tests include not only different line frequencies, butalso have to simulate voltage fluctuations, harmonics,and brown-out conditions. Programmable power sourcesfacilitate these tests with relative ease.Electronic motor controls are used in increasing numbers,either because they offer significant energy savings, orbecause variable speed operation is required or offerscompetitive advantages. Actual energy savings can only bedetermined through accurate power measurement underdifferent operating conditions. Power sources, possiblywith harmonics generation and analysis options, permitsimulation and analysis of almost every electronic driveand line voltage condition.* IEEE-Std-112-1991 may be ordered from:IEEE Service Center, 445 Hoes Lane, P.O.

Single Phase Input on the SW and TW SeriesApplication NoteSingle phase input power is possible for select modelsof the SW and TW Series. This article covers only singlechassis SW series units and TW Series units equippedwith the European PFC input. This type of input can beidentified by the full model number as shown on theSW /TW series nameplate. A –4 in the first dash numberindicates the unit is equipped with the European PFCinput i.e. SW5250A-4-3-2 or TW5250-4. The EuropeanPFC input version of the SW/TW series allows a singlephase voltage of 230VAC (nominal) to power the unitas well as the 230 L-N/400 L-L 3 phase commonly usedoverseas.Don’t let the name mislead you; this configurationcan be used in the US as well. In many facilities, threephase 208V power may not be available. If this is thecase, a 220-230 single phase or two phases from a 208three phase system may be used to power a –4 inputversion. Figure 1 below shows a typical 208Vac 3 phaseconfiguration.Earth GroundPhase ANeutralPhase B115Vac L-N115Vac L-NFigure 2208Vac L-LAll of the Elgar field demo SW units are built to thisconfiguration to allow the units to be used in the US oroverseas. The SW/TW PFC option input voltage allows awide range of 187-264VAC between the line and neutralterminations and will operate at 50,60, and 400Hz. Aslong as the voltage between the paralleled fuse inputsand the neutral clamp is within the 187-264VAC range,the system will operate. The common distribution for230VAC in the US is a split phase created by a 230VACtransformer secondary with a grounded center tap. Theneutral of the two lines from the secondary are groundedconductors (neutral).The Neutral lug in this case is actually115VAC with respect to ground.Earth GroundPhase ANeutralPhase B115Vac L-N115Vac L-NFigure 2208Vac L-LFigure 2 shows a typical split single phase configuration.The warning listed in the SmartWave Operation Manualregarding the breaking of the neutral line to the unit doesnot apply in when wired as a single phase input.For safety reasons, you must breakboth poles to prevent a shock hazardat the input wiring terminations.Another means to get the required voltage for thisconfiguration is to take two of the phases from a 208 3phase system (See Figure 1) and attach one phase to theneutral and one phase to the parallel fuse bock inputs.NOTE: The Neutral lug in this case is actually115VAC with respect to ground.The circuit breaker and wiring that feeds these singlephase configurations will need to be rated at 40A per poleservice for the units larger than 1850VA and 20A for the1850VA and 1750VA models.

Elgar ContinuousWave SeriesPure Sinewave, Low Power AC Source• Low THD and AC noise• Advanced Measurement Available• Wide range PFC Input• Field Parallel Configurable• Multiple Units Configurable forMulti-Phase Operation800–2500 VA135–310 V2.6–18.6 A115 208 230The Elgar ContinuousWave (CW) Series of ACpower sources provides clean single phase powerat an impressive price/performance ratio. Thesecompact switch mode sources come in two series,manual (CW-M) or programmable (CW-P) withstandard IEEE-488.2 and RS-232 control. Bothseries have three power levels, 800 VA, 1250 VAand 2500 VA. The 800 and 1250 VA models are2U (3.5”) high and allow the unit under test to beconnected to the front or rear panel. The 2500 VAmodel is 3U (5.25”) high with rear panel outputconnections. All models can be operated in abenchtop or rackmount configuration.The front panels have two bright four digit, sevensegment displays. Power Factor Corrected (PFC)universal input voltage allows maximum powerto be delivered from an AC outlet without theuser selecting the range. Fully rated current isdelivered for either output voltage range of 135VAC or 270 VAC over a standard frequency rangeof 45 to 500 Hz. Both series can be paralleled toprovide extra power.A separate output-on switch controls powerto the load. Remote voltage sense is standard.Transformer coupled output is protected againstovervoltage and overcurrent. The unit is alsoprotected against over temperature conditions.A two-speed fan results in quieter operation atlower power levels. All models are CE marked.Applications for the CW Series include:•Testing for real world sine wave powerconditions•400 Hz testing for avionics equipment•50/60 Hz margin testing•Ballast testing•Components testing•Power supply testing for AC to DC convertersManual CW Features And BenefitsThe manual series front panel knobs (10 turnpotentiometers) allow quick adjustment ofvoltage, current and frequency settings. Frequencyand voltage can be programmed remotely using a0 to 5V analog signal. LED’s indicate: output-on,voltage or current mode operation, fault and slavemodes. Models can also be paralleled in the fieldor configured for three phase operation usinga factory supplied cable. Current shutdown orfoldback modes can be selected from a rear panelswitch.Programmable CW Features And BenefitsFront panel encoder knobs allow programmingof voltage, current and frequency settings.Programmed or measured values can be viewedon the two LED displays through push buttonselection. Menu push buttons enable settingsystem configuration including parallel or threephase operation. This menu also allows settingcurrent shutdown or foldback modes. RemoteIEEE-488.2 and RS-232 control interfaces arestandard. LEDs indicate: high or low range outputvoltage, measure or program mode, voltage orcurrent mode operation and output-on. LED’sindicate menu/status, remote control, lockout andfault conditions. Digital Signal Processing (DSP)based measurements include voltage, current(amperes, peak amperes, crest factor), power(watts, VA and power factor) and frequency.858.458.0223 sales@ProgrammablePower.com163

i/iX Series IIRegulatory TestingAs governments are moving to enforce productquality standards, regulatory compliance testingis becoming a requirement for a growingnumber of manufacturers. The iX Series II isdesigned to meet AC source requirements foruse in Euronorm EN 61000 compliance testing.For flicker testing, the programmable outputimpedance capability of the 3001iX, 5001iXand 15003iX can be used to create the requiredIEC 725 reference impedance. Run IEC61000-4-11, IEC61000-4-14 and IEC61000-4-28 testprograms.Multi-Box ConfigurationsFor high power applications, two or three 5001i/iX chassis can be combined to provide 10 to 15kVA of single or three phase power. A 9003iX,15003iX or 15003i three phase configuration canbe ordered with the MODE-iX option. This optionallows automatic switching between single orthree phase output mode. In single phase mode,all current is available on phase A.High Crest FactorWith a crest factor of up to 5:1, the i/iX Series IIAC source can drive difficult nonlinear loads withease. Since many modern products use switchingpower supplies, they have a tendency to pull highrepetitive peak currents. The 5001iX can deliverup to 110 Amps of repetitive peak current tohandle such loads.Application SoftwareWindows® application software is included withthe iX and i Series II¹ .

i/iX Series II3000–15000 VAHarmonic Waveform GenerationUsing the latest DSP technology, the iX SeriesII controller is capable of generating harmonicwaveforms to test for harmonics susceptibilityof a unit under test. Included is a Graphical UserInterface program that can be used to defineharmonic waveforms by specifying amplitude andphase for up to 50 harmonics. The waveformdata points are generated and downloaded bythe GUI to the AC source through either the USB,IEEE-488, RS232C bus or LAN and remain innonvolatile memory. Up to 200 waveforms canbe stored and given a user defined name for easyrecall.The three phase configuration iX Series IIoffers independent waveform generation oneach phase allowing three phase anomalies tobe programmed. It also allows simulation ofunbalanced harmonic line conditions.Harmonic waveform, Fund., 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th,11th and 13th.Two hundred user defined waveforms.Arbitrary Waveform Generation[iX Series II only]Using the provided GUI program or customsoftware, the user also has the ability to definearbitrary AC waveforms. The arbitrary waveformmethod of data entry provides an alternativemethod of specifying AC anomalies by providingspecific waveform data points. The GUI programincludes a catalog of custom waveforms. It alsoallows real-world waveforms captured on a digitaloscilloscope to be downloaded to one of themany AC source’s waveform memories.iX and i Series II -AC and DC Transient GenerationThe iX and i Series II controllers have a powerfulAC and DC transient generation system thatallows complex sequences of voltage, frequencyand waveshapes to be generated. This furtherenhances the i/iX’s capability to simulate AC lineconditions or DC disturbances. When combinedwith the multi phase arbitrary waveformcapabilities, the AC and DC output possibilitiesare truly exceptional. In three phase i/iX systemconfigurations, transient generation is controlledindependently yet time synchronized on allthree phases. Accurate phase angle control andsynchronized transient list execution provideunparalleled accuracy in positioning AC outputevents.Transient programming is easily accomplishedfrom the front panel where clearly laid out menu’sguide the user through the transient definitionprocess. The front panel provides a convenientlisting of the programmed transient sequence andallows for transient execution, Start, Stop, Abortand Resume operations.User defined transient sequences can be savedto nonvolatile memory for instant recall andexecution at a later time. The included GraphicalUser Interface program supports transientdefinitions using a spreadsheet-like data entrygrid. A library of frequently used transientprograms can be created on disk using this GUIprogram.Transient List Data Entry from the front panelArbitrary waveform capability is a flexible way ofsimulating the effect of real-world AC power lineconditions in both engineering and productionenvironments.Transient List Data Entry in GUI program.Two hundred user defined waveforms.858.458.0223 sales@ProgrammablePower.com 171

California Instruments Lx Series3-18 kVA Programmable AC and DC Power Source / Analyzer3000–18000 VA135–400 V• Backward CompatibleCompatible with HP6834B & iL Series AC SourcesFunction & bus compatible with the AgilentHP6834B & California Instruments iL Series• Three phase and Single phase modesIdeally suited for avionics and defense applications• 3 kVA to 18 kVA Power LevelsMatch power source and cost to applicationrequirements• Arbitrary Waveform GeneratorTest products for harmonics susceptibility• Built-in Power AnalyzerPerforms voltage and load current harmonicanalysis and waveform acquisition• Standard IEEE-488, USB & RS232Remote control interface for ATEsystem integration includedIntegrated SystemThe Lx Series represents a modern AC powersource that addresses increasing demands on testequipment to perform more functions at a lowercost. By combining a flexible AC power sourcewith a harmonic power analyzer, the Lx Seriessystems are capable of handling applicationsthat would traditionally have required multipleinstruments.The sleek integrated approach of the Lx Seriesavoids the cable clutter that is commonly foundin AC test setups. All connections are madeinternally and the need for external digitalmultimeters, power harmonics analyzer andcurrent shunts is completely eliminated.Using a state of the art Digital Signal Processor inconjunction with precision A/D converters, the LxSeries provides more accuracy and resolution thancan be found in most dedicated harmonic poweranalyzers. Since many components in the LxSeries are shared between the AC source and thepower analyzer, the total cost of the integratedsystem is less than the typical cost of a multipleunit system.Easy To Use ControlsThe Lx Series is completely microprocessorcontrolled and can be operated from a simplefront panel keypad. An analog control locatednext to the backlit alphanumeric LCD displayallows output voltage and frequency to be slewedup or down dynamically. The control employs adynamic rate change algorithm that combines thebenefits of precise control over small parameterchanges with quick sweeps through the entirerange. A keypad makes precise entries simple.ApplicationsWith precise output regulation and accuracy,high load drive current, multi or single phasemode and built-in power analyzer measurementcapabilities, Lx Series AC source/analyzers addressmany application areas for AC power testing.Additional features, like line arbitrary waveformgeneration and available DO 160, MIL 704, orAirbus test standards, make the Lx Series a goodchoice for avionics or defense applications. AllLx Series AC sources are equipped with IEEE-488 (GPIB), USB and RS232C remote controlinterfaces and support SCPI command languageprogramming. An ethernet interface option isavailable.HP6834B CompatibilityThe Lx Series offers functional and buscompatibility with the Agilent HP6834B ACpower sources as well as the CI iL Series ACpower sources and may be used in existing testsystems without the need to modify programcode.Standard WaveformsThe Lx Series provides three standard waveformsthat are always available for output. The standardwaveforms are:• Sinewave for normal AC applications.• Squarewave for special applications.• Clipped Sinewave - Simulates THD leveLx to testfor harmonic distortion susceptibility.In addition to these standard waveforms, userdefined waveform can be downloaded over thebus.0–132 A208 230 400230858.458.0223 sales@ProgrammablePower.com 191

Lx SeriesLx Series - AC Transient GenerationHarmonic Waveform GenerationUsing the latest DSP (Digital Signal Processing)technology, the Lx Series controller is capableof generating harmonic waveforms to test forharmonics susceptibility of a unit under test. Withthe help of the supplied Windows Graphical UserInterface program, defining harmonic waveformsis as easy as specifying the relative amplitudeand phase angle for each of up to 50 harmonics.The waveform data points are generated anddownloaded by the GUI to the AC source througheither IEEE-488 or RS232C bus and remain innon-volatile memory. Up to twelve waveformscan be stored and given a user defined name foreasy recall.Arbitrary Waveform GenerationUsing the provided GUI program or customsoftware, the user also has the ability to definearbitrary waveform data. Complex AC voltageanomalies can be simulated this way. The GUIprogram provides a catalog of custom waveformsand also allows real-world waveforms capturedon a digital oscilloscope to be downloaded toone of the AC source’s waveform memories.Downloaded waveforms are retained in nonvolatilememory for recall over the bus or fromthe front panel. User defined waveform namesmake it easy to recall the desired waveform whenneeded.Lx Series - Configuration OptionsTransient ProgrammingTo simulate common line disturbanceoccurrences, the Lx Series offers a list of transientsteps. These steps can be programmed from thefront panel or downloaded over the interfaceusing the GUI program supplied. The GUI allowslibraries of commonly used line disturbancesto be created on disk for quick recall. Oncedownloaded, the transient program can beexecuted from the PC or from the front panel.AC transient generation allows the effect of rapidchanges in voltage, frequency, phase angle andwaveform shape on the unit under test to beanalyzed. The combination of transients and userdefined arbitrary waveforms creates a powerfultest platform for AC powered products.Lx Series - Measurement and AnalysisThe Lx Series measurement system is basedon real-time digitization of the voltage andcurrent waveforms using a 4K sample buffer.The digitized waveform data is processed by aDigital Signal Processor to extract conventionalload values such as rms voltage, rms current, realand apparent power. The same data is also usedto perform Fast Fourrier Transformation (FFT) toextract the harmonic amplitude and phase angleof up to 50 harmonics.Harmonic waveform, Fund., 3rd, 5th, 7th and 9th.Simulation of severe ringing on the output of a UPS.Voltage sweep transient causes output voltage to change ata programmed rate.Standard MeasurementsThe following standard measurements areavailable from the front panel or via the bus:• Frequency and Phase• Voltage (rms)• Current(rms) and Peak Current• Crest Factor• Neutral Current (rms)• Real Power and Apparent Power• Power Factor192www.ProgrammablePower.com

Elgar SmartWave SeriesHigh Performance AC/DC Power Source• Arbitrary waveforms• Compliance testing for Airbus, DO-160and Boeing standards• 2Hz to 6kHz standard output frequencies• Crest factors up to 4• Parallel up to 22.2KVA1750–22200 VA156–312 V6.5–192 A208 230 400230The Elgar SmartWave (SW) Series of ACpower sources offers powerful waveformcreation for ATE and power line disturbancesimulation testing. Three separate arbitrarywaveform generators enable the SmartWave tocreate independent, complex waveforms on allthree phases simultaneously. The SmartWaveis designed to meet waveform requirementsincluding DC content (up to 312V), low distortion(THD 0.25% to 100 Hz), low noise and ripple,plus full compliance testing to many EMC andavionics standards.At only 8-3/4 inches high for the SW 5250A,the SmartWave delivers the most power in thesmallest package. The SW Series is expandablefrom 1.75 kVA to 22.2 kVA. Unlike other ACpower sources, the SmartWave delivers full ratedpower to 45ºC..Features and BenefitsPowerful Waveshape and Waveform Creation TheSmartWave can easily create fractional or multicycledropouts, spikes, surges, sags and distortedwaveforms from the front panel. To simulatethese complex real-world power occurrences, theSmartWave comes with a library of 50 built-inwaveshapes (see examples on page 74). Userscan create and store an additional 50 waveshapesof their own design. Output voltages are createdby adding amplitude, frequency and otherparameters to the waveshapes. The user canalso create over 50 custom front panel setupswith all parameters included and store them forquick recall, making the SmartWave ideal formanual testing.Sequence ProgrammingComplex sequence or event programming is easywith time or cycle based transient segments. Thesequence library is made up of a total of 1000segments. A sequence of up to 100 segmentsusing up to 32 different waveshapes, arrangedin any combination, can be run at any one time.The 32 waveshapes can be selected from the 50factory supplied and 50 user created waveshapes.By setting the time or number of cycles foreach segment, the user can create waveformsequences that allow automatic testing for mostany standard.SEGMENT10 mSecSEGMENTSEGMENT5 Cycles 10 mSecSEQUENCETrue simulation of time coincident events on a 3phase power line using 3 internal ARB GeneratorsSequences can be constructed with segments defined bytime or number of cycles.858.458.0223 sales@ProgrammablePower.com203

SW SeriesAC and/or DCA direct coupled, transformerless design allowsAC and DC on separate phases or on the samephase. The SmartWave can be used as a true DCpower supply. High DC content waveforms (upto 312 volts) can be created with no derating ofoutput power, even with 100% reactive loads,eliminating the need for a separate DC supply.Waveform Programming Software (Optional)Waveform programming is easily accomplishedusing the optional DSP PC software. The softwareallows freehand creation of waveforms, using amouse or mathematical expressions. Waveformscan be uploaded and modified from a digitalscope. The waveforms can then be downloadedto the SmartWave via GPIB and output to exactlysimulate real-world conditions.Flexibility in Power RangesThe SmartWave series includes the SW 1750/1850(single phase only), SW 3500/3700 (single or dualphase), and SW5550. The 5250A three phaseunit can be switched to single phase or viceversa, simply by menu selection (and appropriateoutput wiring changes). The SW Series is factoryupgradable from 1750 VA to 3500 VA or 5250VA. Utilizing a master/slave arrangement,SW5250A can be paralleled for incrementallyhigher power requirements, e.g. one master/oneslave= SW10500 (10.5 kVA). As many as 3 slavechassis may be paralleled with a master to forma 21 kVA system. Options include input powerfactor correction, measurement capability, plus 5and 26 VAC auxiliary outputs.Waveshape LibraryThere are 50 factory-supplied waveshapes in theSmartWave. Following are examples of the typesof waveshapes in the library:• Sine wave• Square wave• Triangle wave• Clipped sine waves• Sine waves with spikes• Fractional dropouts• Sine wave with dropout (0V from 0° to 90°)• Sine waves with ±1-50% DC offset• ±DC with 3% and 10% ripple• Fourier square waves with harmonics• Taylor series waves• Sine wave with noise at zero crossingAs shown by this photo, the SmartWave can create time coincident spikes on 3 phases, fractional or multi-cycle dropouts, sags and surges,waveforms distortion, DC and noise.204www.ProgrammablePower.com

The built-in outputtransient generation and read-back measurementcapability of the MX Series offers the convenienceof a powerful, and easy to use, integrated testsystem.AvionicsWith an output frequency range to 819 Hz(or 1000 Hz with -HF option), the MX Series iswell suited for aerospace applications. Precisefrequency control and accurate load regulationare key requirements in these applications. Theavailable IEEE-488 remote control interfaceand SCPI command language provide for easyintegration into existing ATE systems. The MXSeries eliminates the need for several additionalpieces of test equipment, saving cost and space.Instrument drivers for popular programmingenvironments such as National InstrumentsLabView are available to speed up systemintegration.MX135 systems are always configured for threephase operation. Contact sales for customconfigurations.High Crest FactorWith a crest factor of up to 3.6, the MX SeriesAC source can drive difficult nonlinear loads withease. Since many modern products use switchingpower supplies, they have a tendency to pullhigh repetitive peak currents. The MX30-3Pi candeliverup to 240 Amps of repetitive peak current(150 V AC range) per phase to handle threephase loads. The MX45-3Pi can deliver up to 360Amps. 720 Amps (MX30), and 1080 Amps (singlephase mode).Remote ControlStandard RS232C & USB along with optionalIEEE-488 & LAN remote control interfaces allowprogramming of all instrument functions from anexternal computer. The popular SCPI commandprotocol is used for programming.Regulatory TestingAs governments are moving to enforce productquality standards, regulatory compliance testingis becoming a requirement for a growing numberof manufacturers. The MX Series is designedto meet AC source requirements for use incompliance testing such as IEC 61000, 3-2, 3-3,3-11, 3-12, to name a few.Choice of voltage rangesThe MX30 and MX45 can be ordered with eithera 150 V RMS Line to Neutral output voltagerange or a 300 V RMS Line to Neutral range. Thisprovides 3 phase output capability of 260 Vac or520 Vac line to line respectively. If dual outputranges are required, the programmable rangechange option (-R) provides the ability to switchbetween both output ranges. Pi version modelsoffer standard dual voltage ranges.The DC output mode changes the 150 V ACrange to a 200 V DC output range; the 300 V ACrange becomes 400 V DC.For applications requiring more than 300 VL-N (or 520 V L-L), the optional -HV outputtransformer provides an additional 400 V L-Nand 693 V L-L output range for use in AC modeonly.Multi-Box ConfigurationsFor high power applications, two or threeMX45 chassis can be combined to provide 90to 135 kVA of three phase power.

Elgar GUPS SeriesRuggedized Uninterruptible Power Supply• Ruggedized• Wide (Global) Input• DC Input• On-Line Battery Back-Up• Transient (Spike) Suppression• Surge Suppression• Input Distortion Elimination2400 VA115/230 VAC20.8 ARMS115 230Product OverviewGUPS are ruggedized on-line “UPS’s” thataccept a broad range of worldwide utility andmilitary AC/DC input power. Without operatorintervention, they automatically select theappropriate input power ranges to accommodateglobal operation. The GUPS Series has beenspecifically designed to withstand the rigors ofmobile applications. They meet the vibration andshock requirements as specified in MIL-STD-810E,Methods 514.4 and 516.4. Their rackmountedaluminum chassis with stainless steel hardwarewithstands harsh environments and provides astrong, light weight enclosure.Features And BenefitsUniversal Input The GUPS 2400A AC input modelprovides 2400VA/1920W of 115 VAC, 60 Hzpower. It automatically selects between two inputranges of 85 to 140 VAC and 170 to 280 VAC,while accepting any frequency from 45 to 450Hz, and provides 115 VAC, 60 Hz output power.The GUPS 2400U universal output modelprovides 115 VAC, 60 Hz standard U.S. poweror 230 VAC, 50 Hz international power (userselectable). Without operator intervention, itautomatically selects between two input rangesof 85 to140 VAC and 170 to 280 VAC, whileaccepting any frequency from 45 to 450 Hz.The Elgar GUPS is tolerant of variable powerassociated with “soft” sources such as engine/motor generators. Stable output power isprovided, without oscillating between generatorand battery input, regardless of how the inputpower varies within the allowed ranges. Thisprevents battery discharge and ensures thatbattery power is available in the event ofgenerator failure. Soft-start of the UPS inputrectifier, limits the inrush current during start-up,precluding fluctuations in the AC source voltagethat could affect other loads.Precise And Stable OutputThe output is precisely regulated, providing alow distortion sine waveform. Protection of thecritical load is maximized because it is continuallysupplied by the online inverter; the output isnever dependent on the condition of the ACinput, and there are no switching transients. Lowoutput impedance allows driving non-linear loadsthat draw currents with high crest factors, suchas computer power supplies. The 200% overloadrating of the inverter, with a greater than 3:1crest factor, provides an enhanced capability tosupply the start-up inrush current of such loads.High frequency power conversion technology isutilized for fast dynamic response to changingload conditions. Continuous overload and shortcircuit protection ensure reliable operation.Global UPS SeriesA shielded transformer is used to galvanicallyisolate the output from the AC input, DC input,and battery. The output is further protectedwith suppression networks that absorb highenergy transients and surges that occur on theAC input. EMI filtering and the shielded isolationtransformer provide transverse-mode andcommon-mode attenuation of electrical noise.UPS integrity is determined through a self testthat is performed automatically during start-up.Proper operation is ensured prior to energizingthe critical load. After start-up, this function canalso be manually selected by the user from thefront panel.Communications InterfaceAn RS-232 communications interface providesinformation to the host system about operatingstatus and UPS parameters such as voltages andcurrents. Isolated relay contacts are available forremote annunciation of loss of AC input powerand impending shutdown during operation fromthe battery.858.458.0223 sales@ProgrammablePower.com229

BatteriesThe GUPS 2400A and GUPS 2400U include adrawer-mounted internal battery module thatis removable from the front panel without theuse of tools; this allows servicing of the batterywithout removing the UPS from its rack. Batterylife is maximized with automatic microprocessorcontrolled equalization and temperaturecompensation during charging.

California Instruments FX SeriesPrecision Voltage and Current Source• Computer Control forAutomated Systems Remote programming andcollection of measurement data• Separate Single PhaseOutputs of up to 200 A & 270V (L-N) Simulation ofpower levels up to 54kW• Multiple ChassisConfigurations for Two & Three-Phase SystemsPower level simulation up to 162 kW forThree-Phase Operation• Independent Full CapabilityMeasurement System Monitors load parameterswithout additional instrumentation4500 VA–13.5 kW0–270 V20.1–200 A2.01–20 A0.02–2 AThe FX SeriesWith the combined voltage and current sourcein a single compact chassis, the FX Series is theideal choice for the simulation of high powerlevels. Either single or multi-phase, this versatilesource can simulate power levels from just a fewmilliwatts to 54kW single phase or 162 kW threephaseand provides a universal system for bothmanual and programmable control applications.Single Phase SystemsA single chassis includes a 1500 VA voltagesource with 270V output (optional 312V L-N) anda 200A Current Source, which is derived fromexactly the same master oscillator as the voltagesource. This means that the voltage and currentoutputs are at precisely the same frequency,although the phase relationship between the twomay be varied to simulate different load powerfactors.Multi-Phase SystemsFor either two or three phase systems, additionalchassis are added. The individual oscillators areclocked from a single master, with a phase lockto ensure phase angle integrity. In multi-phasesystems, the phase angle of the voltage may bevaried independently as well as the phase anglebetween the voltage and current source for eachphase. The system can simulate two or threephaseoutputs with a different P.F. on each phase.This is extremely important when evaluatingmeasurement or control scenarios for multi-phasesystems with unbalanced loads.Wide Range Current SourceWhether the application is power simulation orjust AC current, the FX Series provides a verywide range of controllable constant currentoutput from 20 mA to 200 A. The current sourcesection features three ranges to ensure goodresolution at low current settings. In fact, the 2 Arange is usable down to 20 mA. The 20 A to 200A output is available via bus bar outputs, whereasoutputs below 20 A are available at the rear panelbarrier strip.Fully Independent Measurement CapabilityIt is often difficult to provide accuratemeasurement capability at high power levels.In addition to the basic accuracy of the source,the FX Series provides a fully independentmeasurement system that may be used toverify the output settings or determine the loadcharacteristics. This independent measurementsystem is included in each controller, which meansthat independent and simultaneous monitoringof each phase is possible. The parameter that isdisplayed on the front panel of the source maybe selected manually or by computer control. Allmeasurement parameters may be interrogated bya computer controller.Full ProgrammabilityThe entire system, either single or multi-phase,is programmed from a computer controller. Themost popular control architecture is the IEEE-488bus. However, other systems such as RS232Cand VXI can be accommodated using a simpleprotocol translator. All set up parameters, suchas Voltage, Current, Frequency and Phase Anglemay be controlled. Additionally, in multi-phasesystems the relative angle between phases canalso be changed between 0° and 359°.Measurement parameters may be selectedand the result displayed on the front panel,output to the computer, or a combination ofboth. Computer control is particularly usefulfor the collection and tabulation of test resultsover a series of different conditions such astemperature, load or frequency. Graphical userinterface programs are ideal for changing testrequirements.858.458.0223 sales@ProgrammablePower.com235

FX Series : SpecificationsHigh Efficiency DesignThe FX Series uses a pulse width modulatedconversion technique which is extremelyefficient and allows the single phase system tobe packaged in just 10.5 inches of rack spaceat a weight of only 165 lb (75.2 kg). Additionalbenefits are: a) that the unit uses less power thantraditional linear systems, and b) unit generatesless heat.Covers-on CalibrationAlthough periodic calibration is necessary for anyprecision system, down time and interferencewith the production or engineering evaluationoperation can be disruptive. The FX Serieshowever, allows routine calibration to beperformed either from the front panel or via theIEEE-488 bus with the system in situ.

By combining true current transconductanceamplifiers with an advanced digitalcontroller and harmonic power analyzer, the CSSeries current sources are capable of performingtests that traditionally have been difficult toaccomplish.The CS Series is completely microprocessorcontrolledand can be operated from a simplefront panel keypad. An analog knob located nextto the backlit alphanumeric LCD display allowsoutput current or frequency to be slewed up ordown dynamically.With precise current programming andregulation, high output current, multi-phasemode and built-in power analyzer measurementcapabilities, the CS Series AC current sourcesaddress many AC current test applications.Additional features, like arbitrary waveformgeneration and transient generation make the CSSeries the ideal source for demanding productiontest requirements.All CS Series AC Sources are equipped withIEEE-488 (GPIB), USB and RS232C remote controlinterfaces and support SCPI command languageprogramming. An Ethernet interface is optional(-LAN Option).ApplicationsAC Current Sources are useful in a variety ofapplications where precision is required; includingprecise evaluation of circuit breakers, overloadrelays, bi-metal temperature sensors and heatingelements. Another common application isnon-destructive testing of fuses. The arbitrarywaveform capability of the CS makes itpossible to test these devices under real-worldcircumstances with harmonically rich currentwaveforms. Protection devices that are specifiedto withstand specific current levels for certaindurations can be tested easily with the CS currentsource by programming specific current levels,frequencies, and durations using the transientprogramming system. Available transient modesare fixed, step, pulse, and list.Other typical applications include:• Life testing and continuity checking ofharnesses and connectors.• Electro-plating at frequencies other than50 or 60 Hz.• Calibration of current clamps, watt-hourmeters, current probes• Transformer and inductor testingCurrent ControlThe CS Series uses true current feedbackcontrol. This is considerably different from manycommonly available AC power sources that usea voltage feedback scheme in combination witha constant current mode of operation. Suchpower sources adjust the output voltage to tryand maintain the requested current level (Voltagecontrolled current). These voltage controlled858.458.0223 sales@ProgrammablePower.com 239

CS Seriescurrent sources have a finite response time tosudden impedance changes, which typicallyresults in dynamic current over or undershootas the load impedance changes. A currentcontrolled current source does not suffer from theresponse lag and will always maintain the currentat the specified level, regardless of transient loadconditions. The maximum compliance voltagesupported by the CS Series is 270 Vrms. A lowercompliance voltage trip level can be programmedas needed.Waveform GenerationThe CS Series provides sine, clipped sine andsquare waveforms in addition to user definedarbitrary waveforms. Harmonic waveforms canbe used to test for harmonic current susceptibilityof a unit under test. With the help of the suppliedWindows Instrument Control Software (GUI),defining harmonic waveforms is as easy asspecifying the relative amplitude and phase anglefor each of up to 50 harmonics. The user alsohas the ability to define arbitrary waveform data.Complex AC current anomalies can be simulatedthis way. The waveform data points generatedare downloaded by the ICS to the AC sourcethrough IEEE-488, USB or RS232C bus. Up to 50user-defined waveforms can be stored and givena descriptive name for easy recall. Downloadedwaveforms are retained in non-volatile memoryfor recall over the bus or from the front panel.Waveform Display, Three PhaseTransient GenerationTo simulate complex current events, the CS Seriesoffers a list of transient steps. These steps can beprogrammed from the front panel or downloadedover the interface using the software supplied.The ICS allows libraries of commonly usedsequences to be created on disk for quick recall.Once downloaded, the transient program can beexecuted from the PC or from the front panel.AC current transient generation allows theeffect of rapid changes in current, frequency andcurrent waveform shape on the unit under testto be analyzed. The combination of transientsand user defined arbitrary waveforms creates apowerful test platform for AC powered products.MeasurementsThe CS Series measurement system is basedon real-time digitization of the voltage andcurrent waveforms using a 4K-sample buffer.The digitized waveform data is processed by aDigital Signal Processor to extract conventionalload values such as rms voltage, rms current, realand apparent power. The same data is also usedto perform Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT) toextract the harmonic amplitude and phase angleof 50 harmonics.Standard MeasurementsThe following standard measurements areavailable from the front panel or via the bus:Frequency, Phase, Voltage (rms), Current (rms),Peak Voltage, Voltage Crest Factor, Real Power,Apparent Power, Power FactorAdvanced Measurement FunctionsIn addition to standard load parameters, theCS Series is capable of measuring voltage andcurrent amplitude and phase harmonics. Totalharmonic distortion of both voltage and currentis also available. Advanced measurement resultslike harmonic content of voltage and current forall three phases are available over the bus. TheGUI can be used to save and print harmonics datain tabular, bar graph or time domain formats.The acquired voltage and current time-domainwaveforms for each output phase can also bedisplayed using the software. Waveform displayson the PC include voltage and current combined,three-phase voltage, three-phase current and truepower. The time-domain data is also available fortransfer to a PC.Windows Graphical User InterfaceThe GUI offers a soft front panel interface foroperation from a PC running Windows Vista,Windows XP, or Windows 2000. Thefollowing functions are available through thissoftware:• Steady state output control (all parameters).• Create, run, save and print transientprograms.• Generate and save harmonic waveforms.• Generate and save arbitrary waveforms.• Measure and log standard measurements.• Capture and display Voltage and Currentwaveforms.• Measure, display, print and log harmonicvoltage and current measurements.240www.ProgrammablePower.com

Techniques to Verify Immunity from VoltageApplication NoteVoltage Dips, Interruptions & VariationsThe StandardThe IEC1000-4-11, Edition 2.0 standard concerns testingand measurement techniques that verify the immunity ofelectrical (and electronic) products from “voltage dips,short interruptions, and voltage variations.” Althoughthe standard is European, it is being used as a basis forinternal company design verification testing throughoutthe world.The need for a “standard” for this type of testing is clear.There are many ways to test a product to verify immunityfrom line variations, and some form of standardization,for comparison purposes, is desirable. However, IEC 1000-4-11, Ed. 2.0 leaves many options available, and does notabsolutely specify which tests should apply to a particulartype of product.The standard also seeks to specify the parametricrequirements of an AC source suitable for performing thespecified tests. Generally, these requirements go beyondwhat is necessary to perform the specified tests on aparticular product. For example, it is neither necessarynor cost effective to have an in-rush current capabilitysignificantly greater than that needed by the product tobe tested.In this application note we will explain the tests specifiedin the standard and draw conclusions concerning thecapabilities of suitable AC power sources to performthose tests.Generally, throughout this document, comments in italicsare commentary on the spec. Normal type is either a directquote from the spec or a precise explanationTest LevelsVoltages specified are the rated voltage of the equipment(Ut). If the equipment to be tested has a specified inputvoltage range, then testing should be performed at thelower and upper limits of the voltage ranges specified.However, in practice it is only necessary to perform thetests at the lowest specified input voltage, since all thetests concern a reduction or interruption of supply voltage.As a further guide to the test parameters to be applied tothe equipment under test, this standard advises the typicalnumber of occurrences per annum (in Europe) for variousdurations of line voltage reduction or interruption (seeFig. 1).DepthDuration(VoltageReduction)10 to100 ms100 to500 ms500 msto 1 s1 s to3 s10 to < 30 %30 to < 60 %60 to < 100 %100 %61820663617121243246125Fig. 1 : Number of typical Line Disturbances annually,in Europe.Tests for Voltage Dips and ShortInterruptionsAll changes in the test voltage must be abrupt, and notslewed. The test can start and stop at any phase angle ofthe line voltage, and should not be contrived to occur atthe best case condition. Tests are specified at 0%, 40%70% and 80% of the rated input voltage (Ut) of theproduct under test. This is a reduction in test voltage (Ut)of 100%, 60%, 30% and 20%.The duration of the test (reduction in voltage) is specifiedin periods of the supply voltage. These range from 0.5 to50 cycles, or any duration up to 3000 cycles, although thestandard states that dips and interruptions of greater than50 cycles are not common.The following table of Preferred Test Levels and Durationsappears in the standard.Fig. 2: Preferred Test Levels and DurationsTest Level %of UtVoltage Dip /Interruption % of UtDuration(Periods)0 100 0.5*140 60 51070 30 255080 20 X(*) For 0.5 Period, the test shall be made in positive andnegative polarity, i.e. starting at 0º and 180º respectively.858.458.0223 sales@ProgrammablePower.com245

Particular test levels and durations are notspecified.2) If the EUT (Equipment Under Test) is tested for voltagedips of 100%, it is generally unnecessary to test for otherlevels for the same durations. However, for some cases(safeguard systems or electromechanical devices) this isnot true. The product specification or product committeeshall give an indication of the applicability of this note.Again, 100% dips (or interruptions) are not actuallyspecified. This is defined in the Product Specification orspecified by the “Product Committee”. (See “The ProductCommittee” & Product Specifications following thissection)3) “X” is an open duration which can be given in aproduct specification. Utilities in Europe have measureddips and short interruptions between 0.5 and 3,000periods, but durations of less than 50 periods are mostcommon.4) Any duration may apply to any test level. Note againthat the combination of items 1) and 4) leaves a greatdeal of speculation to the company or authority makingthe test.To answer the question of whether a particular powersource can be used for IEC 1000-4-11, Edition 2.0applications demands that the user first specify which ofthe 1000-4-11, Ed. 2.0 tests they wish to apply to theirproduct.The Product CommitteeOften a group of manufacturers of the same or similarproducts will get together to decide which tests shouldbe run on a particular group of products; i.e., appliancessuch as Stereo Systems. That industry group will decidewhat tests are necessary, taking into consideration theenvironment in which the products will be used, and thelevel of product sophistication. For a manufacturer ofStereo Systems to claim that their Systems meet IEC 1000-4-11, Ed. 2.0, a series of tests, as defined by the industrygroup, must be run and the results must be acceptable(again as defined by the industry group or “ProductCommittee”).Product SpecificationsIf a Product committee does not dictate which testsshould be performed, then it is up to the manufacturerto define the tests in a product specification. To ensureintegrity, tests should be defined according to market anduser requirement, not according to which of the manycombinations of tests the unit actually passed.Fig. 3: Typical Voltage dips test.Fig. 5: Typical Voltage variations test sequence.Note: The voltage decreases to 70% for 10 periods. Stepsare at zero crossing.Voltage Variations (optional)These tests consider defined transitions between the ratedvoltage (Ut) and a changed voltage. As noted, they areoptional and not required (unless defined by the ProductCommittee). This section of the standard defines simulatedvoltage changes that take place over a relatively shortperiod, and may occur due to change of load, or storedenergy in the local power network.The preferred voltages, slew rates, and durations aregiven in Fig. 4. The rate of change of voltage shouldbe constant; however, the voltage may be stepped. Thesteps should occur at the zero crossings, and shall notbe greater than 10% of Ut. Steps under 1% of Ut areconsidered as a constant change of voltage.Note: Figure 5 shows a typical voltage variationssequence.Note: In Fig. 4, X represents an open set of durations thatcan be given in the product specifications. Again, not onlyis this test optional, but it leaves a great deal of leeway tothe company or authority performing the test.246www.ProgrammablePower.com

Techniques to Verify Immunity from VoltageArticleTest Conditions for Performing IEC1000-4-11 Tests, Edition 2.0The following section describes the recommended testplan and test report.1. Prepare a test plan specifying the following:a) The type designation of the EUT.b) Pertinent information concerning the connections,(plugs terminals etc.) and corresponding cablesand peripherals.c) Input power port of the equipment used.d) Operational modes of the EUT.e) Performance criteria.f) Operational modes of the equipment.g) Description of the test set-up.Record any degradation of performance for each test. Themonitoring equipment should be capable of displayingthe status of the operational mode of the EUT during andafter the tests. After each group of tests, a full functionalcheck shall be performed.2. The climatic conditions should be within the followingranges:Temperature: 15 - 35° CRelative humidity: 25 - 75 %Barometric pressure: 86 - 106 kPa3. Electromagnetic conditions:The electromagnetic conditions shall be such to guaranteethe correct operation of the EUT in order not to influencethe test results.4. ExecutionDuring the tests the supply voltage for testing ismonitored to an accuracy of 2%. The zero crossing controlof the test generator must have an accuracy of ±10°.a) Voltage dips and short interruptions The EUT shallbe tested for each selected combination of testinterval and duration with a sequence of3 dips /interruptions with 10 seconds minimuminterval between each test event. Each representativemode of operation shall be tested. Abrupt changesin supply voltage should occur at zero crossings,and at additional angles considered critical byproduct committees or individual productspecifications. For 3-phase systems, phase by phasetest is preferred. In certain cases (3-phase metersand 3-phase supply equipment) all three phases mustbe simultaneously tested. When dips andinterruptions are applied simultaneously to all threephases, the zero crossing condition will be fulfilled ononly one phase.b) Voltage variations (optional) The EUT should betested to each of the specified voltage variations,three times at 10 second intervals for the mostrepresentative modes of operation.5. Test results and test reportBasically the test results should be noted, and classifiedas follows:a) Normal performance within specification limits.b) Temporary degradation or loss of function orperformance which is self-recoverable.c) Temporary degradation or loss of function orperformance which requires operator interventionor system reset.d) Degradation or loss of function which is notrecoverable due to damage of equipment(components) or software, or loss of data.The EUT shall not become dangerous or unsafe asthe result of the application of the tests defined inthe standard.The standard does not define PASS or FAIL criteria.However, category a) is a clear PASS, b) is usually alsointerpreted as a PASS. Even c) can be defined as a PASS ,if that is the way the performance of the product to thesenon-standard line input conditions is defined. However,it would be difficult to think of any condition wherecategory d) could be considered as a PASS.Test Generator (AC Supply Source)considerations:SpecificationsOutput Voltage:As required, ±5% Change with load (load regulationrequirement at various output levels):100% output, 0 to 16 A rms. < 5 %80% output, 0 to 20 A rms. < 6 %70% output, 0 to 23 A rms. < 7 %40% output, 0 to 40 A rms. < 10 %Output Current Capability:16 A rms. at 100% of Ut (per phase)20 A rms. at 80% of Ut23 A rms. at 70% of Ut40 A rms. at 40% of Ut(These are the requirements from the Standard. It isnot necessary to provide this current capability if it isnot required by the EUT)Peak Inrush Current Drive Capability:(not required for voltage variation tests) Must not belimited by the generator. However, need not exceed 500Afor 220-240V, and 250A for 100-120V.The inrush current of the EUT should be less than 70%of that available from the AC source. Inrush current canbe measured with a current transformer and storageoscilloscope or suitable power analyzer. Worst caseconditions are usually at 90° and 270°.858.458.0223 sales@ProgrammablePower.com247

Techniques to Verify Immunity from VoltageSpecifications ContinuedOvershoot/Undershoot:Loaded with 100 ohms < 5 %Voltage Rise/Fall Time, Abrupt Change:Loaded with 100 ohms 1 to 5 micro seconds(The specification here is 1 to 5 micro seconds; however,the voltage variation spec.’s are over 1 or 2 seconds, andthe dips and short interruption tests should occur at zerocrossings, making the rise/fall time relatively unimportantif other spec requirements are met.)Phase Shifting:0 to 360 DegreesPhase Relationship of Voltage Dips & Interruptionswith Power Frequency: ±10°(Since 10° is 560 ms at 50 Hz, this also presents thequestion of why the rise time specification needs tobe < 5 micro seconds)Output Impedance:Predominately resistive Must remain low even duringtransitionsNote: Certain of the generator characteristics are notabsolutely required for any of the tests, e.g. peakinrush drive capability (if not required by the EUT) andrise/fall time.California Instruments AC sources, by AMETEKProgrammable Power, generally meetor exceed the requirements for IEC 1000-4-11, Edition 2.0testing applications. However, the source must be sizedso that the EUT can draw sufficient current at reducedvoltage. Also, some sources require the -ODS optionto perform 0.5 cycle (and odd multiples of 0.5 cycles)dropout tests.To determine the correct AC source for performing IEC1000-4-11 tests, Edition 2.0 requires the followingessential information:A) Steady state rms. current at the EUT at nominalinput voltage.B) Peak in-rush current at nominal input voltage, andduration of the in-rush current.C) A definition of which of the many IEC 1000-4-11, Ed.2.0 tests will be performed.D) A definition of which of the many IEC 1000-4-11,Ed.. 2.0 tests will be performed and other informationsuch as load current at 70% and/or 40% of nominalinput voltage (it is wise to check the equipmentrather than extrapolate. Many devices will shut offaround 70% of nominal input voltage; therefore, theload current at 40% is probably zero).With this essential information, an AMETEK ProgrammablePower Applications Engineer can determine the best ACpower source for the application.248www.ProgrammablePower.com

DC Electronic Load SelectionArticleIntroductionElectronic loads have found a variety of applicationsranging power converter testing to current modulation.A large range of power sources can be tested using anelectronic load from converters, inverters and UPSs TOelectrochemical sources such as batteries and fuel cells.They are easy-to-use and provide much higher throughputthan resistors when varying loads are needed. For batterytest, they provide a constant loading which can greatlyreduce the time for test when compared to resistor loadbanks. Electronic loads can also simulate various powerstates of a device such as a handheld which may havesleep, power conservation and full power modes. Theyalso present a complex electronic load which moreclosely simulates the real environment of the powersource. Modulation uses improve the performanceof programmable power supplies by providing fastertransient response than a standard supply. Thisapplication is covered in more detail in The article“Considerations when Specifying a DC PowerSupply” on page 9.Converter/Inverter Test: Electronic loads provide a veryfast method to test converters of all types DC-DC, AC-DCand DC-AC. Load regulation, overcurrent protection,noise testing (with appropriate filtering), and overpowerprotection can all be very quickly tested in a laboratory orproduction environment. The flexibility in operating rangeof the electronic load also allows a quick verification ofpower supply ratings.UPS Test: Fully testing a UPS requires an AC source,DC source, DC load and AC load. The DC load is usedto test the battery backup and charger within the UPS,while an AC load is utilized to test the base output ofthe UPS. In this latter application, both pure sine wavecurrent waveforms as well as high crest factor waveformsare required. High crest factor waveforms simulate thepowering of switchmode power supplies as are commonin computers and servers.Battery Test: Electronic loads can be used to directly testthe capacity of a battery. This can be done in constantpower mode (CP) to provide a consistent drain that doesnot change as the battery voltage drops. Electronic loadsare also used in battery forming operations as part of thecharge/discharge cycling.With the constant drive to find high power densitybatteries for both handheld applications and hybridvehicles, battery controller development and test are acommon application for electronic loads. As dischargeprofiles are specific to a particular battery design and/or charge state, the ability of a load to produce quickchanges in load are essential for this application.Electronic Load SizingThe BasicsElectronic loads are sized according to voltage/currentand power rating. In contrast to power supplies whichtypically just require knowledge of maximum voltage andcurrent, all electronic loads also have a power limit. Thus,the user must know the simultaneous voltage and currentto ensure the application does not overpower the load.Each load model has its power curve (Fig. 1) in which alloperating points must be within the curve.CurrentVoltageFig. 1. Electronic load operating power curveFor example, when testing a 12V/30A power supply, itis important to know the actual operating conditions. Inmany cases, the supply never operates at 12V and 30A,but may run at 12V/5A and then 3V/30A. Thus, ratherthan a 360W or great electronic load, a 90W or largerload would be sufficient.Load as a Modulator. A special case for load sizingoccurs when it is used as a fast current modulator toimprove the performance of a power supply. In thiscase, only a fraction of the power supply power rating isrequired. When current is modulated to its highest level,the voltage across the load will be minimal (~1-2V).When the current is “modulated” off, there is no power(but the voltage will be at maximum). In general, if themodulation is from zero current to some maximum, theload power can be sized at one-quarter of the operatingvoltage times the operating current, although themaximum voltage and current ratings must be respected. The maximum power occurs during the transition fromlow to high and at approximately half of the operatingcurrent and voltage.Dynamic TestingAll electronic loads have the capability to quickly pulsethe current between two states. This can simulate a sleepmode and a full power mode of a device. Typically, theuser can define the two current states, the time in eachstate and the slew rate between the two states. A typicalload, the SL series for example, can pulse at times downto 50 microseconds (20kHz).858.458.0223 sales@ProgrammablePower.com257

DC Electronic Load SelectionLow Voltage TestingLow voltage testing is common in fuel cell characterizationand voltage regulators for computers. All electronic loadsrequire a minimum voltage to fully turn on. This is shownon the power curve where the voltage does not go to zeroat maximum current.

SL SeriesElectronic Load SelectionOften the selection of programmable powersupplies is based upon volts and amps capability.However when selecting an electronic load,it is important to account for volts, amps andpower. The power limit is displayed on a constantpower curve. A load must be selected so thatthe operating points are within the Power Curve(see Figure 1). For many applications in whichdifferent power sources are tested, there may behigh voltage, low current requirements as wellas low voltage, high current requirements. Asingle load may be able to handle both with goodprogramming resolution. In cases where a singleload may not work, the broad range of current,power and voltage available in the SL seriesallows optimum selection depending upon thevoltage, current, power required.ApplicationsLow Voltage OperationAll SL series loads operate well below 1V.However in many applications, such as fuel cellresearch and microprocessor voltage regulatormodules (VRM), the voltage at the load inputscan be 0.1 to 0.2V. This low voltage does notallow the load transistors to fully turn-on (bottomright corner of the power contour). To utilize thefull rated current of an electronic load, a boostsupply can be placed in series to increase thevoltage. While a fixed voltage DC-DC convertercan be used as the boost supply, a programmablepower supply is preferred to keep the loadvoltage at the minimum to draw full current asthe device under test ramps up in voltage.VoltsCurrentFigure 1 - Power CurveDevice Under Test(Low Voltage DCPower Supply)SLM-4: ChassisSLM: DCModuleSLM: ACModuleSLD: DualInput DCModuleSLD: DualInput DCModuleSLM-1 ChassisSLH: DC Electronic LoadSLH: AC Electronic Load260www.ProgrammablePower.com

In addition, any active or passive currentcarrying devices such as switches, circuit breakers,fuses, connectors and power semiconductorscan be tested. Traditionally, many of theseproducts are tested using resistive load banks.This approach does not simulate real-worldconditions such as switching DC/AC convertersfound in many AC powered products. This typeof conventional testing does not fully exercisethe equipment under test (EUT) under worst caseoperating conditions. High peak currents and lowpower factor loads can significantly impact theoperating characteristics of a UPS or AC powerproduct. The 3091LD AC Load can simulatehigh crest factor and variable power factor loadconditions. This provides an effective method oftesting AC products against real-world conditionsand can significantly increase product reliability.Unless properly exercised, product defects may goundetected until a unit is used at a customer site,resulting in costly field returns.Front Panel ControlThe AC load can be operated from an easy touse, menu driven front panel. Product testscan be performed quickly in an R&D setting bypunching up specific load conditions on the frontpanel and reading the measurement screen ofthe 3091LD. This fast interactive front panelcontrol mode can be used during a product’searly development cycle to isolate potentialperformance problems before the product leavesthe engineering lab.Automated TestingThe 3091LD can be deployed in ATE test stationsusing either IEEE-488 or RS232C remote control.The industry standard SCPI (Standard Commandsfor Programmable Instrumentation) protocolis used and instrument drivers are available toease test software development. The built-inmetering functions of the 3091LD AC load canbe used to eliminate the need for additional testequipment such as meters, power analyzers andoscilloscopes.This and the reduced size of the 3091LDcompared to passive load banks, represents asavings in both cost and rack space.Power LevelsEach 3091LD is capable of dissipating 3000 Wof single phase AC power. For higher poweror three phase applications, a 3091LD masterunit can be combined with one or more auxiliary3091 units. The master 3091LD unit provides therequired consolidated measurements so the testsystem controller - or the operator - need onlyinterface to the master unit, regardless of thespecific configuration. Single, split or three phaseconfigurations can be software configured fromthe master 3091LD when combined with 3091slave units.User ControlAll AC load modes are easily set from the frontpanel using a menu-driven user interface.The large LCD screen is used to display setupinformation as well as measurement data.Measurements include volt RMS, volt peak,current RMS, current peak, crest factor, truepower, apparent power, power factor andfrequency. Both voltage and current waveformsat the load input terminals can be digitizedand displayed on the front panel graphicalLCD. This allows EUT output behavior to be858.458.0223 sales@ProgrammablePower.com 267

3091LDanalyzed quickly without the need to hook upadditional test equipment. A Windows graphicaluser interface (GUI) is provided to expand themeasurement and display capabilities of the3091LD. The GUI can be used to save and printtest results for report purposes.Crest Factor and Power Factor controlWhen operating in constant current or constantpower mode, the 3091LD supports crest factorcontrol by narrowing the conduction angle ofthe current waveform in order to match therequested crest factor. Thus, the peak current isincreased while retaining the RMS current level.While the apparent power remains constant, thetrue power decreases. This results in a reducedtrue power factor. Consequently, as crest factoris increased, the true power factor automaticallydecreases. The load further controls powerfactor by shifting the current with respect tothe input voltage (displacement power factor).Both leading and lagging power factor controlis available. A phase shift of the current is onlypossible if the crest factor is higher than 1.414.Thus, crest factor and power factor control rangesare coupled as shown in the graph to the right.Front PanelThe large LCD screen is used to display setupinformation as well as measurement data.Measurements include volt RMS, volt peak,current RMS, current peak, crest factor, truepower, apparent power, power factor andfrequency.

Specifically,the following modes can be selected:ModeConstantPowerConstantResistanceConstantCurrentConstantVoltageShortcircuitCPCRCCCVSCDescriptionThis mode effectively emulates constantpower loads such as switching powersuppliesEmulates a conventional resistive load orpower resistor. A programmable rangefrom 2.5 Ohms to 1000 Ohms covers awide range of applications. This modecan be used to replace conventionalresistive load banks.Provides a constant current load. Thismode may be used to simulate both linear(resistive) and non-linear (active loads forvoltage regulation testing.This mode emulates a shunt regulatorload and may be used to test currentsource products.Test the short circuit protection mode ofthe EUT by providing a short condition.The 3001LD can handle surge currentsof up to 300 Amps for up to 50 msec andsustained currents of 30 Amps in thismode of operation. The low voltagecut-off of the load can be programmedfrom 50 Volts up.268www.ProgrammablePower.com

Our engineer willcreate a functional specification in collaborationwith your engineering team. A written quotationwill be developed describing the proposedsolution, deliverables, lead-time and projectcosts. Following approval, AMETEK’s EngineeredSolutions Group will build and test the solution,providing periodic updates as needed. Upondelivery, ESG can also provide implementationtraining according to your needsModified Standard ProductsThe simplest custom solution is to modify oneof our many standard products. This can be assimple as changing the faceplate color to matchyour rack application. Many of our OEM (OriginalEquipment Manufacturer) customers appreciatethis capability to provide an integrated, corporatelook to their racks. We can provide custom inputsto meet the needs of legacy ATE applications, orour engineers can modify several of the electricalcharacteristics of our power supplies to meet theneeds of your applications.Power SubsystemsA power subsystem is a product where powersupplies and other equipment are integratedinto a rack to provide a specialized componentof a larger system. Typically they would includespecialized customer furnished material and taketheir control commands from the customer’ssystem controller. These systems are used forapplications where the power source is thepredominant asset in the rack or the powersubsystem is a major part of the test systemmake-up such as in the automotive andaerospace market segments. ESG has beenproviding these power subsystems for many yearsand can add value both in time to market andsimplification of the procurement process.System SolutionsOver the years AMETEK/Elgar has created systemsolutions for a wide range of applications. Thesesystem solutions are standard configurationsthat can be easily modified to your particularapplication’s needs. As an example AMETEK/Elgar is the industry leader in solar arraysimulation for the Spacecraft industry.We have delivered systems that support ABD100test series and other market-specific testrequirements. This level of integration variesgreatly with each specific customer need, andwe can provide whatever level of integrationis required; from a low level pre-integratedrack or we can purchase all required assets percustomer specifications and perform completepre-integration services.

In order to test the spacecraft’spower environment, a cost-effective solution forground based testing is to utilize a solar arraysimulator.The Elgar SAS system reproduces all possiblesolar array outputs, based on the wide variety ofinput conditions that an array faces, includingorbital rotation, spin, axis alignment, eclipseevents, beginning-of-life and end-of-lifeoperation. The SAS also provides completeprogrammable control of all the parameters thatshape the solar cell I/V output curve. By beingable to accurately simulate solar panels undervarious space conditions with complete control,a system developer can comprehensively verifydesign margins and quickly test, in production,spacecraft power systems and their associatedelectronics.Each Solar Array Simulator is a fully integrated,turn-key system complete with Windows NTgraphical user interface and hardware controlsoftware. It can be remotely controlled andaddressable as a single device when integratedinto a customer’s test system. This control isaccomplished via a standard ethernet or optionalGPIB interface using standard SCPI formatcommands.As a very important consideration in spacecrafttesting, discrete hardware protection systems area standard part of every SAS.These include subsystems that can removepower at the output of the SAS in under 10microseconds. Each SAS string has an electroniccircuit breaker and relay disconnect, so faultsare localized and minimize disruption of the lastprocess. SAS systems have been designed anddelivered ranging from desktop, 2 channel, R&Dunits to systems capable of controlling two 64channel SAS systems simultaneously. AMETEK’sEngineered Solutions Group can assist in definingspecial requirements and customize each systemusing a standard building block approach. Thisallows each customer to get exactly what idneeded while minimizing costs.Features And BenefitsTotal Control Of I/V Behavior.AMETEK’s Fast Profiling Current Source (FPCS)provides the ability to simulate real worldsolar array power more accurately than othertechnologies by allowing programmable controlof all four parameters necessary to independentlycontrol the characteristic I/V diode output curve,or profile, of each FPCS channel.In addition, the user may choose the nonparametricmode of operation and programI/V curves unique to the application. The basicbuilding block of an Elgar SAS is the FPCS. EachFPCS module simulates either one or two arraystrings, or can be series or paralleled with otherFPCS modules to simulate larger array segments.The 900W and 1000W chassis consist of two(2) 450W or 500W power modules in parallel,housed in a single 5-1/4” chassis with onecontrol assembly. Open circuit voltage and shortcircuit current are scaled to meet a customer’srequirements.858.458.0223 sales@ProgrammablePower.com291

SAS - Solar Array SimulatorDesigned To Operate At The Knee.The FPCS is designed to operate continuously atthe peak power output, or the knee, of the solararray output. With a bandwidth of over 500 kHz,the FPCS is unconditionally stable at any pointof the I/V curve. It can operate continuously atthe peak power point of the output curve, intoa sequential shunt unit (SSU), or into any otherpower system output topology.The Proven Source.The FPCS has been proven to supply peak powertracking, sequential shunt and series regulatorpower topologies. It has even been used to testXenon Ion propulsion devices.

Elgar BSS - Battery Simulation SystemBattery String Simulator60 W–30 kW20 VA–150 kVA• Flexible Database Operation• Fully Programmable208 400• Completely Configurable• Attention To Spacecraft Safety• Eliminates the need for test flight batteries andtheir associated issuesProduct OverviewThe Elgar Battery String Simulators (BSS) providesafe, reliable battery power for spacecrafttesting. The broad range of features availableensures simulation capabilities for more thanjust two terminal power. It’s the ideal solutionfor complete integrated system testing, not justbattery elimination.The BSS behavior is determined by a chargetable, in spreadsheet format, specific for a batterytopology and various battery conditions. Manycharge tables can be stored on the computerhard drive for easy retrieval.The BSS operates in two modes, static anddynamic. In the static mode, when a state-ofchargevalue is entered, the BSS will instantlyproduce the terminal voltage correspondingto that state-of-charge. Because of thisprogrammable flexibility, time consumingdischarge cycles of flight test batteries areeliminated. In the dynamic mode, once a stateof-chargestart point is entered, the BSS willmonitor the charge and discharge energies beingimpressed on the “battery” and modify theterminal voltage accordingly.Single or dual battery pack simulator versions areavailable with discharge currents of up to 240Aand charge currents of up to 1000A per battery.In addition, optional sensor simulators (includingthermistor, pressure transducer, and heater loadoutputs) allow closed loop input to the SpacecraftPower Regulator for true battery emulation.As with the SAS systems, each Battery SimulatorSystem is a fully integrated, turn-key systemusing a Windows Graphical User Interfaceand hardware control software. This control isaccomplished via a standard ethernet or optionalGPIB interface using standard SCPI formatcommands.Features And BenefitsFlexible Database OperationA unique database engine allows the BatterySimulator to simulate various battery chemistries.The state of charge of the “battery” and theinstantaneous current flow in or out of the“battery” is used to calculate the current terminalvoltage of the battery. This database engine hasthe capability of controlling pressure transducersimulator to allow a charging system to operatein a closed loop fashion. The database featureallows the simulator to simulate common batteryailments: shorted cells, degraded charge transfer,and aging, to name a few.Integrated Battery Sensor SimulatorPackagesIntegrated thermistor and pressure transducersimulators allow the user to test an entire batteryconditioning system closed loop. This integrationof simulators allows for faster system debug andgreater test flexibility.Fully ProgrammableAll aspects of the battery simulation areprogrammable. A file management system allowsdifferent “battery” databases to be loadedand executed transparently while the system issimulating, thus allowing the user the ability tochange battery conditions quickly and efficiently.A simulation can be suspended and re-startedlater, allowing the user to stop the charge/discharge cycle and examine battery maintenancesystems in a static environment. All systemsetpoints and operational points are available tothe user either locally or remotely, eliminating theneed for external monitoring equipment.858.458.0223 sales@ProgrammablePower.com295

It is intended to meet current-modeapplication requirements such as superconductingwire research, and contact current and circuitbreaker qualification.From the input AC distribution to the 810lbs. (368 Kg.) of copper output bus bars, theCopperhead employs all of the system integrationnecessary to meet the application requirements.The control wiring implementation has beendesigned to provide the customer with asummed current readback so that currentmonitoring is easy.With the understanding that the bottom traceabove represents a full 15,000A of current, thesystem response time is well controlled andwith little overshoot. The top trace depicts an~ 40msec input control pulse and the bottomtrace depicts the output response to this controlpulse. Due to the power supply control loopsand required stability of the output, the outputpulse is delayed ~ 30msec and with a ~25msecrise time. There is also a delay once the fallingedge is detected on the control pulse and isapproximately the same with approximately thesame fall time. Therefore, a 40msec pulse witha 3hz repetition rate is the fastest control signalpossible to obtain a full 15,000A output with anoutput pulse ~120msec in duration and ~70msecat full current.Unique, high-current DC output bus-bar.

The systemconsists of DC power supplies, an AC distributionand interlock system, an energy absorber chassisand an absorber load resistor chassis. The powersources are equipped with a remote controloption allowing control via GPIB or with frontpanel controls in local mode. The operation ofthe specific parts of the system is described in thesections below.DC Power SuppliesThe power supplies consist of two model typeseach rated for 0-400VDC at 75A. The SGI supplyincludes a GPIB programming interface andoperates as the Master supply. The SGA supply isused as a Slave, operating as a voltage controlledcurrent source. This Master/Slave operation isused to provide up to 400V at 150A for 60kWof output power. By operating in a Master/Slave configuration, the supplies operate as oneunit that can be controlled from the Masterunit through either local control or IEEE-488operation.The DC power supplies contain a provisionfor voltage and current readback. The currentreadback on the front panel of the supplies is setup so that the SGI supply indicates the sum ofboth supplies. As used in this system, the powersupply current monitoring indicates the actualpower supplies output current. Regenerativecurrent is not conducted through the powersupplies due to a blocking diode in the EnergyAbsorber chassis so the system current readbackis available separately.Energy Absorber Load ChassisThe Energy Absorber Load chassis containsthe regenerative resistive load element. Theload consists of numerous high power resistorsconnected in series/parallel banks, creating a totalresistance of approximately 1.5 Ohms at 30kWcontinuous and 60kW peak.858.458.0223 sales@ProgrammablePower.com299

In addition, it containsa GPIB programmer and measurement circuitryand controls that provide drive signals to thepower components. In the chassis, high currentbus capacitors are connected between the outputto limit the rate of rise of voltage (slew rate)allowing the IGBT to operate at a controlledfrequency when an external Regen currentpulse occurs and to store energy to providehigh peak current pulses to the load. A blockingdiode in series with the input power supplies isused to detect the direction and amplitude ofcurrent flow. A differential amplifier is used tomonitor the voltage across the blocking diodeand regulate it to a value programmed by theinternal GPIB controller which is independentof the input voltage level. Since it is desirable insome tests to allow the voltage to increase abovethe normal voltage level during the Regen pulseevent, the output occurring across the blockingdiode is scaled so that the voltage that is fed to acomparator is proportional to the controllers D-Aconverter that is calibrated to this same voltagerange. When currents from the actuator conductback into the absorber chassis, the bus capacitorcharges until the input to the comparator reachesthe programmed threshold and activates a drivesignal to turn on the power IGBT connectingthe absorber load resistor across the output bus.The resistor discharges the output capacitoruntil a lower threshold voltage is reached on thecomparator. In this manner, with the actuatorRegen current providing the charging current andthe absorber load resistor providing the dischargecurrent, the bus capacitor bank voltage can bemaintained at a constant level with approximately5V peak to peak of ripple during the charge anddischarge intervals. The Energy Absorber Controlchassis also contains circuitry to activate AC inputcontactors, relays and power supply shutdownsignals, which are enabled through a controlconnector. Also available are high bandwidth0-10V analog circuitry proportional to the DCoutput voltage and current for monitoring withan oscilloscope or external analog system. Thevoltage and current monitors are also available onan internal GPIB controller in the Absorber chassisso that their values can be queried over the bus.Additional functions in the chassis include anOVP detector for a secondary protection SCR inthe case of a power interruption, and front panelstatus LEDs to show the operating status of theOVP circuit, relays and contactors.300www.ProgrammablePower.com

The unit is designed to connectand operate with the Ethernet user interface of aSorensen programmable DC power supply, suchas the SGA or SGI series, to provide a switchedoutput. The unit includes controls for AC inputPower, Output Isolation, Output Polarity, OutputInterlock and Remote Sense relay control.DescriptionThe internal relays of the isolation/polarity chassisare controlled through the external user interfacelogic originating in the SGA/SGI series powersupplies with an Ethernet Programming Interface(Option 1C). The chassis consists of a four (4)main power relays that switch the DC powersupply voltage to provide full isolation when openand normal polarity or reversed output polaritywhen closed with the Ethernet controller.As shown in the photo, the front panel of theIsolation / Polarity Reversal Unit includes an ACpower switch that connects the AC input on therear panel connector to an internal power supplythat powers the relays. The unit includes aninterlock connector that must be shorted beforeany relays will energize. All other controls aremade through a cable connecting the SG PowerSupplies External User connector on the Ethernetinterface to the Isolation/Polarity chassis rearpanel control connector. LEDs on the front panelof the chassis will change in response to therelay control status. The relays are interconnectedso that if both isolation and polarity relays areenabled at the same time, the output contactorswill be disabled to guard against shorting theoutput of the SG power supply. The Shutdownsignal on the interlock connector also providesa way to interlock the chassis to the SG supply.This signal is connected to the S/D input of thesupply and if the Interlock connection is opened,the signal will also disable the SG power supplythrough its Shutdown Input line. The Fault LED onthe front panel indicates the status of the Faultline coming from the SG power supply. Whenthe SG power supply is enabled, the DC voltagewill be connected from the power supply to theInput connector on the rear panel. This input isconnected to four power relays in a bridge matrixso that when one pair of relays are energized,the input power is connected to the outputterminals with normal polarity. When the otherpair of relays are energized, the input power isconnected to the output terminals in a reversedpolarity. The remote sense relays operate inconjunction with the isolation and polarity relaycontrol signals so that the voltage can be sensedeither remotely or at the input terminals of thechassis.858.458.0223 sales@ProgrammablePower.com 303
