Atec Pacific-Power-AMX Series - Manual (Page 2)

TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR
AC TEST POWER
The AMX Series is a family of High Performance Linear AC power sources covering the power range from 500 VA to 12
kVA. The product line offers both single and three phase models. Units are conservatively designed and output power
ratings are based on the most severe combination of input line, output voltage, power factor, and temperature. This approach
to product design allows the AMX Series to excel when delivering the high peak load currents demanded in the AC test
environment. Great emphasis has been placed on low acoustic noise, ease of installation, and maximum power per cubic
inch of rack space. Control and operating features provide a high degree of application versatility and ease of use for the test
engineer. Applications range from simple, manually controlled frequency conversion to harmonic testing and sophisticated
bus programmable transient simulation.
An exceptionally broad bandwidth (50 kHz
small signal) combined with peak/RMS
current of 4-6:1 give the AMX Series the
ability to produce high quality, low
distortion output power into the most
dynamic loads.

DESIGN PROVIDES TOTAL CONTROL OF AC POWER
• All AMX Series power source models may be equipped with either a digitally programmable Oscillator/Controller (UPC
type) or a manually controlled Oscillator (UMC type).
• Single phase power source models may be controlled to operate on either a 0-135 VAC range or a
0-270 VAC range. Three phase models are additionally switchable to 3ш/1ш output power form.
• Total control of the output power form and the selection of either the direct output or the optional transformer output is
available from the front panel or the bus.
• All operating functions may be controlled from either the front panel or from a remote RS-232 or IEEE 488.2/ SCPI
BUS. LabVIEW for Windows® and LabWindows® Instrument Drivers are available.
