Overview
Introduction
The MX Series consists of multiple high power AC
and DC power systems that provide controlled
AC and DC output for ATE and product test
applications.
This high power AC and DC test system covers a
wide spectrum of AC and DC power applications
at an affordable cost. Using state-of-the-art PWM
switching techniques, the MX series combines
compactness, robustness and functionality in a
compact floor-standing chassis, no larger than
a typical office copying machine. This higher
power density has been accomplished without
the need to resort to elaborate cooling schemes
or additional installation wiring. Simply roll the
MX15, MX30, or MX45 unit to its designated
location (using included casters), plug it in, and
the MX series is ready to work for you.
Simple Operation
The MX Series can be operated completely from
its menu driven front panel controller. A backlit
LCD display shows menus, setup data, and
read-back measurements. IEEE-488, RS232C,
USB and LAN remote control interfaces and
instrument drivers for popular ATE programming
environments are available. This allows the MX
Series to be easily integrated into an automated
test system.
For advanced test applications, the programmable
controller version offers full arbitrary waveform
generation, time and frequency domain
measurements, and voltage and
current waveform capture.
Configurations
The MX15 delivers up to 15 kVA of single phase
output. The MX30 delivers up to 30 kVA, and the
MX45 up to 45 kVA. Both operate using single or
three phase output in AC mode. In DC mode, 65
% of the AC power level is available. On MX-P
models, AC+DC mode is also supported.
For higher power requirements, the MX90 and
MX135 models are available. Multi cabinet
MX45 systems always operate in three phase
output mode. Available reconfigurable MX90
and MX135 models (-MB designation) provide
multiple controllers which allow separation of the
high power system into two or three individual
MX45 units for use in separate applications. This
ability to reconfigure the system provides an even
greater level of flexibility not commonly found in
power systems.
