PPS RLS Series Regenerative Load Simulators

Regenerative Test Equipment Saves Energy

The RLS Series is a family of fully regenerative, high power, single, split and three phase, AC and DC capable Electronic Loads. Available models range from 12 kVA to 252 kVA. Using a modern user interface for ease of use, the RLS Series Load Simulators are cost effective and fully programmable for a wide range of power test applications. The RLS Series offers extended voltage and standard analog and digital I/O functions. The regenerative operation of this load returns full rated power back to the power grid, saving utility and HVAC cost when using the RLS for burn in or other load applications

The RLS Series consists of a range of High Power Regenerative AC and DC capable Electronic Loads covering a power range from 6 kVA to 252 kVA. All RLS models offer single, split and three configurations. The RLS is a state-of-the-art design using the latest Silicon Carbide digital power conversion technologies. Power density is among the highest in the industry allowing 21 kVA/kW 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 load testing to harmonic current immunity testing and sophisticated current transients simulation.

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

All RLS models are capable of returning full rated power back to the utility grid when testing energy producing EUTs such as wind and solar inverters, UPS's or bidirectional V2x EV Charging units, Each RLS unit includes standard analog and digital I/O functions, scope functions for voltage and current waveform capture and harmonic analysis measurements. Standard frequency range covers 15Hz through 11200Hz and AC input voltage range is 350VLN / 606VLL.

Regenerative Energy Recovery

The regenerative capabilities of the RLS Series support testing of green energy, distributed energy producing equipment. The RGS will return 90% of the energy received from the EUT back to the power grid instead of dissipating it.

AC or DC Test Power

The RLS Series Power Source is equipped with multiple high-end Digital Signal Processors to create a fully integrated test system. It supplies a variety of load conditions to the device under test and meters all performance parameters.

Controller

The RGS Series controller offers both manual and full 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 RGS can also be operated remotely from one of its included SmartSource Suite web browser based control software.
