electric applications

Our goal was to create a bidirectional power supply
that could meet “X” various requirements.

Ultra-compact: 20 kW in a single 3U size frame.
It can handle not only high voltages of 1500V but also has both power and regenerative modes.
Guarantees optimal operation at any stage of research, development, and manufacturing.

Bidirectional High-Capacity DC Power SupplyPXB Series

The PXB series of bidirectional high-capacity DC power supplies condenses a 20 kW large-capacity output into a 3U-size chassis. Not only handling high voltages of 1500 V, but also capable of both power and regeneration in both directions in a single unit.

We provide a new power supply test environment for electrical and electronic equipment that is becoming increasingly high-powered. In addition, a variety of analog, digital, and communication interfaces are provided for optimal operation at any stage of research, development, and manufacturing! A new generation of bidirectional DC power supplies that support the progression of advanced technologies.

Features

Output power range 2 to 3 times mains-powered operation

Output power range 2 to 3 times mains-powered operation Mains-powered power supply with a wide range of operating ranges and combinations of voltage and current settings. If the voltage of the connected DUT is lower than the voltage setting of the PXB series, current flows from the PXB series to the DUT. If the voltage of the connected DUT is higher than the voltage setting of the PXB series, current flows from the DUT to the PXB series.

Achieves high-speed rise and fall times

Achieves high-speed rise and fall times Achieves a rise/fall time of 10 ms, which is several tens of times faster than conventional switching power supplies. Enabling high-speed power fluctuation testing that cannot be handled by ordinary DC power supplies.

Highly stable operation with high resistance to capacitive loads

Highly stable operation with high resistance to capacitive loads Designed for highly stable operation, without oscillation or overshoot even when a load with a large capacitive component is connected.
Slew rate and response can be varied to match the characteristics of the connected load, suppressing oscillation and overshoot.

Optimized for different purposes and applications, with selectable response speeds

Optimized for different purposes and applications, with selectable response speeds The required power supply response time varies depending on the test conditions and load specifications. The response speed of the PXB Series power supply can be changed to suit different applications.

Up to 10 units can be operated in parallel, achieving 200 kW^*

Up to 10 units can be operated in parallel, achieving 200 kW Including master machine, up to 10 units (200 kW) can be operated in parallel. Connection is with one-control parallel operation, and the panel of the master machine can control and display the entire system. With the automatic recognition function, the need for complicated settings is eliminated, allowing the construction of high-capacity systems.
* Parallel operation is possible between models with different input rated voltages. Please contact us if you wish to operate more than 10 units in parallel.

Sequence function

pxb en sp06 100 Preset operations can be run continuously. Total of 30 programs, and up to 10,000 steps can be created for all programs. Programs stored in the unit’s memory, and data can be exported to a USB memory stick from the front panel.

Pulse function / Sign function

pxb en sp07 100 “Pulse” operation can be set, which repeatedly executes a binary setting, or “sine” operation, changing the current in a sinusoidal manner.

Regenerative function (on-premises) contributes to carbon neutrality.

Regenerative function (on-premises) contributes to carbon neutrality. When power is regenerated to the main unit from an inverter or battery, the load power is converted to reusable power and regenerated to the AC LINE. This can contribute to reducing the amount of heat exhaust and saving energy.
*Regenerative efficiency of over 90% (at rated load).
*The PXB series is designed for on-site regeneration. Use in an environment where the power on-site is greater than the regenerative power.
