SECTION 1
INTRODUCING THE DCS-E
SERIES 3KW SUPPLY
1.1 DESCRIPTION
The DCS-E Series System Supplies are 3000–watt supplies designed to provide highly stable,
continuously variable output voltage and current for a broad range of development, system, and
burn-in applications. The DCS-E Series employs high frequency switching regulator technology
to achieve high power density and small package size.
The series consists of several models designated by the DCS prefix, followed by their output
voltage and current ratings. For example, the model number DCS 60-50E indicates that the unit
is rated at 0-60 Vdc and 0-50 Amps.
1.2 FEATURES
• Eight models with voltage ranges from 0-8 Vdc to 0-150 Vdc and current outputs from
20A to 350A.
•
Input voltage 190-250 Vac, Three Phase, 47-63 Hz or 200-250 Vac, Single Phase, 47-63
Hz. (Output power limited to 2500W for single-phase input.)
• Simultaneous digital display of both DC output voltage and current.
• Ten-turn potentiometer voltage and current controls permit high resolution setting of the
output voltage and current from zero to the model-rated output.
•
Front panel push button control of Output Standby Mode, OVP reset, Remote/Local
Programming Mode selection, and preview of voltage, current, or OVP setpoints.
•
External indicator signals for Remote Monitoring of OVP Status, Local/Remote
Programming Status, Thermal Shutdown, and Output Voltage and Current.
• Current or Voltage Mode operation with Automatic Mode Crossover to respond to
varying load requirements.
•
Flexible output configuration where multiple units can be connected in series or in
parallel to provide increased voltage or increased current.
• Remote Sensing to compensate for losses in power leads up to 1V per lead.
• Adjustable Over Voltage Protection (OVP).
