Atec Associated-PowerTech-300XAC Series - Manual (Page 3)

What is a modular AC
power source?
We use the term modular to define the capability
of the 300XAC Series of AC power sources to be
interconnected in order to produce higher power
outputs and different power configurations than
an individual instrument. When multiple 300XAC
instruments are interconnected the operator can
configure the output for Parallel or Polyphase
modes. Parallel mode allows the operator to
increase the output current of the system by
a factor of 2 or 3 depending on the number of
sources that are interconnected. Polyphase
mode allows the operator to increase the total
power output of the system as well as change
the output power configuration of the system.
The Benefits of the 300XAC Modular
AC Power Sources
The APT 300XAC Modular Power Sources
can link several AC power sources to
give you the maximum flexibility that your
operation requires

5
Easy to change from 1 Φ to 3 Φ output
No need to have separate sources for 1 Φ to 3 Φ applications
Allows for future expansion if power requirements change
Greater mobility of the AC Power Source
The ability to generate greater current or voltage if only 1 Φ power is available
The ability to generate 3 Φ power if only 1 Φ power is available
The Modular AC Source Advantage
The APT Link Card (Option 08)
The 300XAC Series can be used as a stand-alone
instrument which provides 1Φ output power. If the
Linking Card option is installed, up to three 300XAC
instruments can be interconnected for Parallel or
Polyphase output.
Master/Slave Relationship
The master/slave relationship between linked 300XAC
instruments synchronizes the firmware of each power
source so the output and phase angle separation is
regulated. It also gives the operator the capability to
program parameters for all linked sources from the front
panel of the master instrument.
SmartDETECT ®
The SmartDETECT feature automatically determines
how many power sources are linked together. After the
check is completed the 300XAC Series will automatically
change the programming output function based on the
number of linked sources.
SmartCONFIG ® Feature
The SmartCONFIG feature allows the operator to
change the output of the linked sources to Parallel or
Polyphase mode with the push of a button.
