Programmable DC power supply series expanded up to 6kW

Magna-Power Electronics has announced the expansion of its popular 1U SL Series product line - to 6kW. The SL Series product range now spans 70 models at power levels 1.5kW, 2.6kW, 4kW, and 6kW all in a 1U, 1.75-inch high rack-mount form-factor. With programmable DC output voltage ranges from 0-5VDC to 0-1000VDC and programmable DC output current ranges from 0-1.5ADC to 0-250ADC, the product line satisfies requirements in a variety of industries including: automated test equipment (ATE) system integration, automotive testing, oil and gas, remotely operated underwater vehicles, and aerospace systems testing. "The expansion to 6kW in 1U continues Magna-Power's long-standing commitment to offering industry-leading programmable power densities," said Adam Pitel, vice president overseeing worldwide sales and marketing. "This latest innovation is the result of continuous research and development work in power electronics and heat management, along with further advances in the company's internal manufacturing processes." All SL Series models come standard with monitoring and control from a variety of sources, including: front panel, computer interface and an isolated analog-digital I/O connector. A Standard Commands for Programmable Instrumentation (SCPI) command set is supported, allowing easy ASCII text programming over a computer interface. In addition, an IVI driver is included for the Visual Studio programming environment along with a dedicated National Instruments LabVIEW and LabWindows driver. Additional computer interface options include LXI TCP/IP Ethernet (+LXI), IEEE-488 GPIB (+GPIB), USB and RS-485. All SL Series models are available with three-phase input, including 208VAC, 240VAC, 380VAC, 415VAC, 440VAC, or 480VAC. 1.5kW models are also available with a single-phase active PFC Universal Input (UI), allowing for an input voltage range spanning 85VAC to 265VAC.
