1.1 General Description
The MX Series AC and DC power source systems are high efficiency, floor standing AC and DC
power sources that provide a precise output with low distortion. Available voltage ranges are 150
Vac, 300 Vac and 400 Vac in AC mode and 200 Vdc and 400 Vdc in DC mode. The MX45-3Pi
can operate in either single or three-phase mode. The MX45 is available in either single or three-
phase mode. All other models operate in three-phase mode.
Models with a -1 or -3 designation provide full front panel operation but do not include a RS232C
or IEEE-488 remote control interface. An optional RS232C/IEEE-488 control interface can be
added at the time of order however (-P) option. Models with the Pi controller offer several
additional standard features, including the RS232C/IEEE-488 interfaces, arbitrary waveform
generation, dual voltage ranges and additional measurement functions.
The MX Series units are contained in a compact floor standing enclosure on casters. This allows
the units to be moved around more easily.
Read the installation instructions carefully before attempting to install and operate the MX Series
power systems.
