Lambda adds 3U units to switcher line
Staff -- Test & Measurement World, 6/1/2007
With the introduction of 10-kW and 15-kW models in 3U rack-mount packages, Lambda now offers programmable switching power supplies in power levels from 750 W to 15 kW, output voltages from 7.5 V to 600 V, and current up to 1000 A.
Like other members of the Genesys family, the 3U 10/15-kW series includes an embedded 16-bit RS-232/485 digital interface, through which up to 31 power supplies can be daisy chained. Up to four like units can be connected in parallel and user-configured for the master to program and monitor the total current of the group. Thus, four units can appear as a single 60-kW power supply, increasing flexibility for system designers.
In addition, Genesys offers safety features, such as Safe Re-Start and Last Setting Memory. With Safe Re-Start, you can select whether the power supply returns to previous settings after power off or returns to zero (safe) output, waiting for user instructions. Last Setting Memory retains settings of output voltage and current, remote or local mode, OVP and UVL, foldback, baud rate, and start-up mode without a battery.
