INTRODUCTION
Elgar's ContinuousWave™ (CW) Series power sources deliver up to 1250
VA in a 2U high (3.5 inches) rackmount chassis, and 2500 VA in a 5.25
inch chassis. This low profile design is also suitable for benchtop use. The
CW Series models have three power ratings: 800 VA, 1250 VA, and 2500
VA. The switchmode, Power Factor Corrected (PFC) design efficiently
delivers clean AC power.
Voltage, current, and frequency settings are quickly adjusted from the front
panel knobs (10
–turn potentiometers). Also, the sources can be
programmed remotely from the rear panel analog port. The output is
protected
against
overvoltage,
overcurrent,
and
overtemperature
conditions. They can be easily paralleled in the field with an additional
parallel cable. A two-speed fan results in quieter operation at lower power
levels.
Key features of the CW Series AC power sources include:High
