INTRODUCTION
Elgar's ContinuousWave™ (CW) Series power sources deliver 800 VA or 1250 VA in a
2U high (3.5 inches), and 2500 VA in a 5.25–inch benchtop or rackmount chassis.
Higher power and multiphase can be achieved by paralleling and multiphase
interconnection. This requires optional slave cables. The switchmode Power Factor
Corrected (PFC) input stage allows a wide range of input voltage and maximizes the
power available from a wall outlet.
The CW series units are available in manual and programmable versions. This
operation manual covers the programmable versions only.
Voltage, current, and frequency settings are quickly adjusted from the front panel
encoders. In addition, the sources can be programmed remotely from the rear panel
GPIB, RS-232, or analog port. The output is protected against overvoltage, overcurrent,
and overtemperature conditions. A two-speed fan results in quieter operation at lower
power levels.
