KDC Series

Image


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 interface are optional. The KDC Series continuously measures output voltage, current, peak current, and power.

General Information

 

Image


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, slew rate, 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 and 400V line-to-line AC inputs.

Controller Capabilities

Image

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.

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.

Output Impedance:
A programmable output impedance function allows simulation of DC source impedance as a function of load conditions.
