Solid State Technology
Rugged, Powerful Output
Low Cost of Ownership
Input AC power is rectified to DC by a special input power supply section. This minimizes input current distortion and prevents the load power
factor from reflecting back onto the utility line. The DC is then converted back to AC by a high frequency, solid state, pulse-width modulated
switchmode inverter under the control of a highly stable digital oscillator. The result is exceptional system performance with maximum reliability.
• 350 Amps of Pulse Current is delivered by each 3060-MS for
driving non-linear loads. This eliminates the need to oversize
facility power as is common to rotary or low quality PWM
power systems.
• Load Power Factor is not an issue. The 3060-MS will drive
virtually any load without damage or risk.
• Excellent Regulation and response time eliminates load “cross
talk.” Voltage sags common to other conversion methods are
eliminated with 150 microsecond response time to a 50% load
step. The output recovers to ± 3% of nominal within less than
1/10th of a cycle at 400 Hz.
• Each 3060-MS is capable of operating as either the master or
slave in a multi-cabinet parallel system. Calculated single cabinet
MTBF is greater than five years.
• Mission Reliability is ensured. The parallel system architecture
is such that a failed slave unit automatically removes itself from
the power grid. Should the master unit fail, the operator can
select any other paralleled unit as the new master from the
front panel and restore system operation.
• Lower Maintenance Costs are achieved through built-in
diagnostics that minimize MTTR. Quick and easy repair is facilitated
with a small complement of local spares.
• Input Power Factor is a constant 0.95 lagging, regardless of
load. The MS Series actually corrects PF reflected back to the
utility, eliminating PF penalties.
• Low Installation Cost. The MS Series fits through standard
doorways. Audible noise is limited to cooling fans. There is no
400 Hz whine that requires noise isolation. Solid state design with a
forklift base eliminates the need for concrete pads and vibration
isolators common to rotary installations.
• Power Levels Grow with demand. Units may be added or
removed from the power grid as required.
• Variable Frequency range of 47–500 Hz, as well as switch
selectable fixed frequency operation of 50, 60 or 400 Hz, is
standard on every model.
• External Input is provided as a standard feature. This allows
operation as a variable frequency test power amplifier.
• UPC-32 Programmable Controller Option is available to provide
steady state and transient control of output power from the RS-232
or GPIB bus.

Unmatched Price/Performance Ratio
• Measures volts, amps, watts and kVA for each input and output phase.
• Efficiency is continuously monitored, allowing system performance verification.
• Internal Diagnostics assist in quickly locating failed components, resulting in extremely low MTTR.
• Power Generation circuits are separate from display and diagnostics. A failure in the display logic
will not affect output power quality. Output power cannot be interrupted by system interrogation.
• Audible and Visual Alarms alert the operator to any conditions requiring attention.
