PACS-3-75
If you plan to use the AC line and are using a PACS-1 or PACS-3 system, you can skip this
paragraph as there is no AC source included with the system. If you are using any of the other
CTS configurations, the AC source includes its own user manual. We recommend you familiarize
yourself with the operation of the AC source and the included Windows Graphical User Interface
(CIGUI32 or CIGuiSII) for it before you start using the CTS system.
Note:
PACS-1 and PACS-3 based CTS systems are rated for a maximum current of 40 amps
rms per phase. Higher current versions, PACS-1-75 and PACS-3-75, are available.
Existing 10001iX-CTS and 30003iX-CTS systems may not have been shipped with these
-75 model versions however. Damage to the standard PACS units can occur if higher
currents are present. Care must be taken to not exceed this rating when using the system
directly with the utility line or with the higher power sources. When using a 10001iX-CTS
or 30003iX-CTS system, the lower voltage/higher current output range should not be used
unless the AC source‟s current limit has been set to 40 amps or less or the system was
supplied with the -75 version of the PACS.
