AMERICAN RELIANCE (AMREL) has released three new ePower Switch Mode Power Supply models. AMREL’ ePower Line has been expanded with the introduction of their 1.5, 3 and 15kW SPS Models.

The introduction of the 1.5, 3 and 15kW supplies adds increased power density to the existing ePower SPS Series. The SPS Series outputs 1.5kW/1U, 3kW/2U and 15kW/3U Full-rack box, up to 45kW/9U box. The company claims that, with higher output power, efficient space utilization translates to cost savings for both single unit and system applications. User-friendly operation includes 16-bit ADC/DAC design for high-resolution measurements via front panel displays, voltage/current setting encoders or Keypad entry.

The SPS Series offers an wide selection of interface options for local and remote control including: GPIB, RS-232, Ethernet, and RS-485 Interfaces (master-slave). Each SPS unit comes master-slave parallel ready with active current sharing. Remote programming can be accomplished via an extensive set of IEEE488.2 SCPI Commands for simple ATE integration. Other features include VLIST & ILIST for automatic stepping profiles, Remote Inhibit for remote emergency shutdown, Remote Lockout for setting security, and OVP/UVP/OTP/OCP protection. The SPS Series balances simple local operation with powerful remote capabilities in a high-density/smaller form factor to meet the demands of power electronics, and power sources testing applications in all stages of development while saving money and space.

1.5kW ratings include 12Vdc ~ 600Vdc & 2.5Adc ~ 125Adc @ 208/230Vac (3ph). 3kW ratings include 12Vdc ~ 600Vdc & 5Adc ~ 250Adc @ 208/230Vac (3ph). 15kW ratings include 16Vdc ~ 1000Vdc & 15Adc ~ 900Adc @ 208/240/380/415/440/480Vac (3ph) 50 ~ 400Hz.
