Description
Kikusui PCR3000WE2 AC Power Supply / Frequency Converter
The PCR-WE/WE2 is a series of multifunctional switching AC power supplies that combines accurate, high power output and ultra-compact design. The 15 model line-up ranges from 1 kVA to 36 kVA AC/DC with single & 3 phase variable output from 6 kVA and up. The PCR-WE/WE2 also features a regenerative mode*1 that can drastically reduce power consumption and cut the costs of operation. The PCR-WE/WE2 also supports mix-and-match parallel operation*2 up to 144 kVA for large scale test systems. Output frequency up to 5 kHz is also available with all models for critical AC applications in the avionic industries.
Compact Size!
Compared to our previous PWM models, the size of the PCR-WE has been drastically reduced up to 60%. Efficiency has also been increased by approximately 7%, for an overall high efficiency of approximately 85%.
Low Ripple Noise
Extremely low switching noise for a PWM inverter type AC power supply, with ripple noise as low as 0.25 rms achieved with 1 kVA – 6kVA models. The PCR-WE series even boasts similar noise performance to the PCR-LE/LE2 linear amplifier power supply series. The compact, high power design of the PCR-WE/WE2 has been achieved with absolutely no compromises to ripple noise performance.
Output Frequency up to 5 kHZ
Maximum output frequency up to 5 kHz for critical applications in the defense and avionics industries. The frequency performance of the PCR-WE allows for simulation of sharp voltage fluctuations required airborne electronic equipment testing. Furthermore, the compact 6kVA/6U form factor allows for the easy preparation of an automated, one rack testing system without requiring a costly, specialized power source installation space.
LAN, USB, RS232C Standard Digital Interface
The PCR-WE/WE2 series includes a flexible digital interface for users utilizing LAN, USB, and RS232C communication interfaces (GPIB factory option available). LAN connection is LXI compliant, allowing you to monitor and control your device wherever you are via computer, smartphone, or tablet web browser. This feature is particularly important when conducting critical AC tests in anechoic chambers/shield rooms.
Power Line Error Simulation
The PCR-WE/WE2 series can simulate various power line abnormalities such as power outages, voltage drops (dips) and voltage increases (pops). This feature is useful for the testing of power source switches and various electronic devices.
