Magna-Power Electronics Releases Programmable DC Power Supply with New 250kW Module
Magna-Power Electronics released their MT Series V power supply with a new, high power 250 kW module.
This new fifth generation product now includes 65 models spread across independent 100 , 150, and 250 kW modules, scalable into the megawatts through paralleling, with voltages from 16 to 4000Vdc and currents from 24 to 24000Adc. The MT Series V features Magna-Power Electronics’ signature current-fed power processing, delivering additional power processing stages for increased system protection under abusive loads.
The newest 250kW module integrates Magna-Power Electronics’ harmonic neutralizer, which suppresses families of ac harmonics by increasing the number of power phases – an important consideration for switch-mode power supplies in the hundreds of kilowatts. The harmonic neutralizer creates a 12-pulse ac waveform, minimizing harmonic distortion. The harmonic neutralizer eliminates families of harmonic components by multiplying the number of input phases with specially wound autotransformers, providing a cost effective solution to maintaining power quality at acceptable levels.
By designing a 250kW module and integrating the harmonic neutralizer, the overall 250kW system size was reduced by over 33%. In addition, the integrated harmonic neutralizer greatly reduces installation requirements, easing multi-module scalability.
The new MT Series V features identical controls and features as Magna-Power Electronics line of programmable dc power supplies. All the products come standard with RS-232 interface, programmable SCPI command set, isolated 37-pin I/O for PLC integration, and rotary front panel control, metering, and calibration. Furthermore, programming options such as LXI TCP/IP Ethernet (+LXI) and IEEE 488.2 GPIB (+GPIB) as well as performance options such as photovoltaic power profile emulation (+PPPE) and the recently released high slew rate output (+HS). Units are capable of master/slave parallel and series operation through the plug-and-play UID46 device.
The new MT Series V products are now shipping worldwide. For a full list of specifications and models, please refer to the MT Series V product datasheet.
