Compact Power
The KDC Series packs up to 15 kW
of DC power in a 5.25" (3U) chassis.
Despite the high power density of
the design, the KDC Series provides
a low noise, stable output. The DC
voltage ranges are 30 V to 600 Vdc,
which supports a wide range of
applications.
The KDC Series comes with an RS-
232 as the standard remote
programming interface. The IEEE-
488/GPIB & isolated analog
interfaces are optional. The KDC
Series continuously measures
output voltage, current, peak
current, and power.
Advanced Control
The KDC Series has three
operational modes: constant
voltage, constant current and
constant power. The constant
voltage and constant current modes
can be configured for voltage fold
back or shutdown when the
programmed current limit set point
is reached.
The transient program function
allows users to define up to 100
output sequences. Each sequence
can contain up to six parameters.
Parameters include: voltage set
point, slew rate, current set point,
dwell time, and trigger. A graphical
user interface is included with each
KDC Series Power Supply. This
powerful interface software allows
users to generate automated test
routines in minutes.
Applications
The advanced features and
capabilities of the KDC Series make
the power supply suitable for
challenging test applications such
as: fuel testing, super capacitor
characterization, and other high
technology applications.
The availability of RS-232, GPIB/
IEEE-488, and isolated analog
interfaces make the KDC easy to
integrate into ATE and other
automated systems. The KDC
Series is designed to accept 208,
400 and 480V line-to-line AC inputs.
KDC Series - Controller Capabilities
All KDC Series Power Supplies use an advanced DSP
based controller with a menu driven user interface. This
controller provides capabilities not typically found in
most DC supplies.
Output Sequencing: Time driven output changes can
be programmed, stored and executed under program
control. Events include steps, sweeps, drops and
surges of voltage and/or current. This allows a variety of
power conditions and DC tests to be set up and executed
from the front panel. Multiple sequences can be
stored in nonvolatile memory for quick recall.
Parallel Mode: Multiple KDC units can be combined to
provide high output current capability using a master/auxiliary combination.
Output Impedance: A programmable output impedance
function allows simulation of DC source impedance as a
function of load conditions.
Remote Control: The included KDC GUI program
provides easy access to these and other KDC controller
capabilities using a Windows PC with the standard RS-232C or the optional IEEE-488/GPIB interface.
