Introduction
The CSW Series represents a new generation of
AC/DC power sources that address the increasing
demands on test equipment to perform additional
functions at a lower cost. By combining a flexible
AC/DC power source with a high performance
power analyzer, the Compact CSW Series is
capable of handling complex applications that
have traditionally required multiple systems. The
sleek integrated approach of the CSW avoids
cable clutter that is commonly found in test
systems. All connections are made internally and
the need for digital multimeters, power harmonics
analyzers, and current shunts or clamps is
eliminated.
Since many components in the CSW are shared
between the AC/DC source and the power
analyzer, the total cost of the integrated system is
less than the typical cost of a multiple unit system.
Easy to use controls
The CSW Series is DSP controlled and can be
operated from an easy to use front panel keypad.
Functions are grouped logically and are directly
accessible from the keypad. This eliminates the
need to search through various levels of menus
and/or soft keys. A large analog control knob
can be used to quickly slew output parameters.
This knob is controlled by a dynamic rate change
algorithm that combines the benefits of precise
control over small parameter changes with quick
sweeps through the entire range.
Applications
The CSW is designed for testing today’s
complex electronics, including avionics,
telecommunications and commercial electronics
requiring low profile, light weight power supplies
Other applications include:
• Testing for real world power conditions using
different waveforms on all 3 phases (including
DC)
• Load susceptibility testing with sequence or
event programming and multiple voltage
harmonics
• Power line disturbance simulation testing
• MIL-STD-704, DO-160, B787 and ABD100
avionics testing
• Power supply testing for AC-DC, DC-DC
converters and UPS’s
• Transients on 12 & 24 VDC for automotive
applications
AC, DC or AC+DC Output
A direct coupled, transformerless design allows
AC and DC on separate phases or on the same
phase. The CSW can be used as a true DC power
supply. High DC content waveforms (up to
312 volts) can be created with no derating of
output power, even with 100% reactive loads,
eliminating the need for a separate DC supply.
Waveform programming is easily accomplished
using the Graphical Users Interface software.
Waveforms can be uploaded and modified from
a digital scope. The waveforms can then be
downloaded to the CSW and output to precisely
simulate real-world conditions.
