TDK Corporation announces the introduction of the TDK-Lambda brand GENESYS AC (GAC) and GENESYS AC PRO (GAC-PRO) series of 2 kVA and 3 kVA rated programmable AC power sources. These latest products represent a significant expansion in test and measurement capability to the current GENESYS series of 750 W to 90 kW programmable DC power supplies. With a 1U chassis height, the GAC and GAC-PRO provide the highest power density for a fully featured programmable AC power source.
The GAC-PRO models offer a higher level of DC functionality with the ability to allow AC, DC or combined AC+DC operation. The models allow full-rated power and current in DC modes, and advanced functions such as waveform generation and harmonics analysis as standard. The GAC-PRO also includes real-time analog control functionality necessary for more complex test scenarios, such as hardware in the loop (HIL). Other applications include automated test equipment, avionics airborne equipment, aircraft electrical power, defense (RTCA, Boeing, Airbus Standards), automotive, e-mobility and power source testing.
TDK-Lambda’s advanced parallel system provides characteristics comparable with that of a single power supply. 2 kVA and 3 kVA units may be user-combined for additional power and to provide multiple phase outputs. The front panel controls can be made through the use of a capacitive touch display, providing increased robustness over mechanical switches. Multiple languages are catered for, including, Chinese, English, French, German, Japanese, Korean and Spanish.
As standard, LAN, USB, RS232, RS485, and analog programming/monitoring are provided, with optional IEEE/GPIB. The included remote GUI software allows the user full control, sequence programming, plus the option to use pre-programmed test standards for common IEC, aerospace, and marine tests. These standards will dramatically reduce test time, consistency and labor cost compared to traditional manual set-ups.
Dimensions of the GAC02 and GAC03 are 423 mm wide, 544.5 mm deep and 43.6 mm high, and the weight is less than 8 kg. The five-year warranty series is safety-certified to IEC/EN/UL 61010-1 with CE and UKCA marking to the low voltage, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), and RoHS Directives. The models also comply with IEC/EN 61204-3 for conducted and radiated electromagnetic interference (EMI) (Class A) and EMC immunity.
In the next few months, TDK-Lambda will expand the GENESYS AC line with additional power levels of 6/9 kVA.
