PPS ADF Series Programmable AC Power Source 15kVA to 180kVA

AC Test Power Re-imagined

The ADF Series is a family of high power, single or three phase, AC Power Sources. Available models ranging from 15 kVA to 90 kVA. Using a modern user interface for ease of use, the ADF Series is cost effective and fully programmable for many frequency conversion test applications.

Standard output frequency range is from 45 Hz to 500 Hz, covering all commercial and industrial power frequencies as well as typical 400 Hz avionics testing. The available F option offers frequency range extension down to 15 Hz for railway applications and up to 800 Hz for wild frequency avionics applications.  For DC test applications, DC output mode can be added as an option (option D)

Looking for a power source that also supports AC+DC output, arbitrary waveforms and extensive transient programming?  Check out the AFX Series, also from Pacific Power Source.

The ADF Series consists of a range of High Power Switching AC Power Sources covering a power range from 15 kVA to 90 kVA. ADF models are available with single phase output configuration or in split and three phase output configuration. Programmable output frequency ranges from 45Hz to 500Hz to cover both industrial/commercial and avionics and defense applications. The ADF is a state-of-the-art design using the latest digital power conversion technologies. Power density is among the highest in the industry allowing 15 kVA of power in only 4U (7″) of rack space.

 

Great emphasis has been placed on energy efficiency, ease of installation, and maximum power per cubic inch of rack space. Control and operational features provide a high degree of application versatility and ease of use for the test engineer. Applications range from simple, manually controlled frequency conversion to harmonic immunity testing and sophisticated transient simulation.

 

Power conversion within the ADF Series is achieved by digitally controlled, high frequency pulse width modulation, resulting in cool, quiet and efficient operation.

 

All ADF power sources include standard analog and digital I/O functions for integration with other equipment in test systems. Frequency range can be expanded to cover 15Hz through 1200Hz (Option F) and extended output voltage range to 333VLN / 576VLL is available as well (Option V). Also available as an option is a DC output mode providing bipolar DC output up to 425Vdc (Option D)

AC Test Power

The ADF Series Power Source is equipped with several powerful Digital Signal Processors to create a fully integrated test system. It supplies a variety of power conditions to the device under test and meters all output performance parameters.  

Frequency/Voltage Conversion

The ADF Series is an excellent source of stable AC voltage over the frequency range of 15 to 1200 Hz. The output frequency is accurate to 0.01%.  

Phase Conversion

With the single phase output models available, the ADF Series is suitable for 3 Phase to 1 Phase conversion.

DC Test Power

The ADF Series Power Source can be equipped with an optional DC output mode as well to tackle DC test applications as needed. This mode support output voltage up to ±425Vdc. On three phase ADF models, the use of dual opposite polarity outputs supports up to 950Vdc.  

Controller

The ADF Series controller offers both manual and programmable control. Front panel operation is menu driven using a combination of direct access menu keys to the left of the large color display and 5 soft keys located on the right of the display. The rotary knob can be used to scroll through menu fields and doubles as an ENTER key. The same knob allows for slewing of output parameters. A full decimal keypad is provided as well for direct parameter entry. The ADF can also be operated remotely from one of its included remote interfaces. Operation from a web browser via LAN or USB is also supported through the embedded web server of the ADF.
