AFX Series: Highest Power Density AC & DC Power Supplies

The AFX-Series represent a break-through in solid state power conversion that reduces the size and weight of programmable AC and DC power sources dramatically.

Housed in a 4U 19" rack mount chassis, the 3150AFX is capable of delivering 15,000VA of output power. Advanced digital signal processing was extensively used to make possible the AFX-Series delivers the highest density programmable combination of AC and DC power capability in the market today.

Convenient to operate from the front panel keypad or remote interface, the AFX Series models are ideal for AC,DC and AC+DC power simulation, automated testing, frequency conversion, laboratory, and bench-top power applications.

Single Voltage Range with Constant Power Profile:

Traditional AC power sources use two voltage ranges to provide either high voltage or high current. By contrast, the AFX Series uses a unique single voltage range that operates along a constant power curve. This provides more current at low voltages, eliminating the need to switch between voltage ranges and provides a much wider operating range (demonstrated as green in the figure below).

Switching voltage ranges on other AC sources causes the output to be turned off and the EUT to shut down. This makes it difficult to test universal wide input range AC products.

The blue line and green shaded area in the chart shows the additional operating range available compared to a conventional AC power source with a 150V/300V range pair. The same applies to DC mode of operation where a single 425Vdc voltage range is used to provide both high DC current and DC voltage.
