CSW Series
Flexability in Power Ranges
The CSW Series is based on a 5,550VA power
source. The CSW features selectable Single
or Three Phase output via front panel menu
selection or via remote control interface. Utilizing
Master / Auxilary arrangement the CSW offers
the flexibility to paralled up to power levels of
33,300VA
High Crest Factor
With a crest factor of up to 3.5:1; the CSW Series
AC source can drive difficult nonlinear loads with
ease. Since many modern products use switching
power supplies, they have a tendency to pull
high repetitive peak currents. The CSW5550 can
deliver up to 41.5 Amps of repetitive peak current
(156 V range) per phase
Harmonic Waveform Generation
Using the latest DSP technology, the CSW Series
programmable controller is capable of generating
harmonic waveforms to test for harmonics
susceptibility. The Windows Graphical User
Interface program can be used to define harmonic
waveforms by specifying amplitude and phase for
up to 50 harmonics. The waveform data points
are generated and downloaded by the GUI to
the AC source through the remote interface. Up
to 200 waveforms can be stored in nonvolatile
memory and given a user defined name for easy
recall.
Arbitrary Waveform Generation
Using the provided GUI program or custom
software, the user also has the ability to define
arbitrary AC waveforms. The arbitrary waveform
method of data entry provides an alternative
method of specifying AC anomalies by providing
specific waveform data points. The GUI program
provides a catalog of custom waveforms and also
allows real-world waveforms captured on a digital
oscilloscope to be downloaded to one of the
many AC source’s waveform memories. Arbitrary
waveform capability is a flexible way of simulating
the effect of real-world AC power line conditions
on a unit under test in both engineering and
production environments.
CSW Series - AC and DC Transient Generation
The CSW Series controller has a powerful AC
and DC transient generation system that allows
complex sequences of voltage, frequency and
waveshapes to be generated. This further
enhances the CSW’s capability to simulate
AC line conditions or DC disturbances. When
combined with the multiphase arbitrary waveform
capabilities, the AC and DC output possibilities
are truly exceptional. Transient generation is
controlled independently yet time synchronized
on all three phases. Accurate phase angle control
and synchronized transient list execution provide
unparalleled accuracy in positioning AC output
events.
