Elgar AT8000 32V DC Power Module

The Elgar AT8000A-32V MOD is a configurable modular DC power system designed for automated test equipment (ATE) and laboratory applications requiring programmable and precise power outputs. This system chassis can house a combination of DC power supply modules and DC electronic load modules, allowing for flexible system configurations within a single 19-inch rackmount unit. It supports expansion beyond a single chassis to accommodate larger channel counts and higher total power requirements. The AT8000A series is engineered for MATE and CIIL programmability, offering remote control via an IEEE-488 GPIB interface, as well as local control through a front-panel keyboard. System Configuration and Expandability: * High-Density Mainframe: The 5-1/4-inch high mainframe can accommodate up to six independent channels of either linear DC power or DC electronic loads.

• Modular Design: Utilizes interchangeable DC power supply modules and DC electronic load modules, allowing for customized configurations.
• Paralleling Capability: DC power modules can be paralleled within a chassis to deliver up to 1200W from a single unit.
• Multi-Chassis Expansion: The system can be expanded to a total of 16 independent channels across multiple chassis, controlled via a single GPIB address, potentially reaching up to 19.2 kW.
• Master/Slave Architecture: Supports master and slave chassis configurations for expanded channel counts and centralized control. A master chassis typically includes the GPIB interface and programmer, controlling one or more slave chassis. Power Module Specifications (32V Modules): * Output Voltage: Up to 32V DC per module.
• Output Current: For 32V modules, the typical current output is 6.25A.
• Power Output: Individual power modules are rated at 200W.
• Paralleled Power: By paralleling power modules, a single chassis can deliver up to 1200W. Electrical Characteristics: * Input Voltage Range: ±10% of nominal value.
• Input Frequency Range: 45 Hz to 10,000 Hz for AC Power Sources. (Note: The AT8000A-32V MOD is a DC power module, input specs relate to the AC input to the mainframe.)
• Maximum Ripple and Noise (Voltage Mode): * 1.5 millivolts RMS or 0.01% of rated output voltage, whichever is greater, from 20 Hz to 100 kHz. * For master-slave configurations, 5 millivolts RMS or 0.01% of rated output voltage, whichever is greater, from 20 Hz to 100 kHz. * 15 millivolts peak-to-peak or 0.05% of rated output voltage, whichever is greater, as measured from 20 Hz to 200 MHz. * For master-slave configurations, 15 millivolts peak-to-peak or 0.1% of rated output voltage, whichever is greater, from 20 Hz to 20 MHz (typical).
• Line Regulation: +0.25% at full load for a ±10% change in input line voltage.
• Load Regulation: +1% from no load to full load over the full frequency range and ±10% input range. Adjustable to better than 0.1% for specific load conditions.
• Gain Stability: ±0.25% for 24 hours at constant line, load, and temperature.
• Resolution: * For modules < 100V: 10 mV and 10 mA, or 1 part in 3972, whichever is less. * For modules ≥ 100V: 10 mV and 10 mA. * The resolution for 7 VDC modules is 1.76 mV.
• Output Protection: Overcurrent sensing and overvoltage protection with SCR crowbar shutdown are standard.
• Optional Features: Polarity switching relays are optional, allowing for positive and negative polarity programming without external wiring changes. Interfaces and Control: * Remote Programming: IEEE-488 GPIB interface for remote control.
• Programming Languages: Supports ABLE (Atlas Based Language Extension) and CIIL (Control Interface Intermediate Language) for MATE applications.
• Local Control: Front-panel keyboard and display for local programming and status monitoring.
• Readback Capability: Built-in test option provides readback capability for voltage and current readings on DC power modules, Auxiliary Drive Modules (ADMs), and electronic DC loads.
• Sense Terminals: Programmable voltage and current with remote sense terminals. Physical Characteristics: * Chassis Dimensions: 19-inch wide rackmount chassis, 5-1/4 inches high.
• Input Circuit Breaker: Front panel input circuit breaker for protection and power switching. Operational Modes and Capabilities: * Modes of Operation (for Load Modules): Constant current, constant voltage, constant resistance, and transient operation.
• Short Circuit: Available from the front panel or GPIB.
• Auxiliary Drive Modules (ADMs): Available to control external bulk supplies or loads as if they were internal modules. Why Choose Aumictech for ELGAR AT8000A-32V MOD?
