Constant Current Power Amplifiera / Source
Q: What is the frequency response of your constant current mode power amplifier?
A: Frequency response varies by model:
- Models with output power rating of 50 – 100 watts: 47 Hz – 2K Hz
- Models with output power rating of 200 – 300 watts: 47 Hz – 1K Hz
- Models with output power rating of 400–1200 watts: 47 Hz – 400 Hz
- Higher frequency ranges are available upon request: up to 100K Hz
Q: What is the output power range?
A: The output power rating ranges from 50 watts to 1200 watts for individual units. Multiple units can be easily combined to achieve higher power ratings.
Q: What is the output current range?
A: The standard output ranges are 0 - 1 A, 0 - 2 A, 0 - 5 A, 0 - 10 A, 0 - 20 A, 0 - 25 A, 0 - 40 A, 0 - 50 A, 0 - 100 A, 0 - 150 A. Custom output ranges up to 1,000 A can always be made upon request.
Q: What are some applications?
A: The constant current power sources/amplifiers are commonly used for:
- Magnetic field generation
- Circuit breaker testing
- Relay testing
- Transformer testing
- Watt meter testing
Q: Can your constant current power sources/amplifiers handle highly inductive and capacitive loads?
A: Yes. They are specifically designed for challenging loads, such as highly inductive and highly capacitive applications. The PD-free linear design ensures reliable operation across diverse load conditions.
Q: What are the dimensions?
A: Models with output power of 50 to 100 watts: 19"W × 5.25"H × 16"D
Models with output power of 200 to 300 watts: 19"W × 5.25"H × 20"D
Models with output power of 400 to 700 watts: 19"W × 7"H × 23"D
Models with output power of 1000 to 1200 watts: 19"W × 7"H × 24.5"D
Q: What is the output frequency?
A: The default output frequency of the CC-S series is 60 Hz. Other fixed frequencies, including 50 Hz and 400 Hz, are available upon request.
Q: What is the difference between a power amplifier and a power source?
A: A power amplifier requires an input signal from an external function generator. A power source has a built-in oscillator to generate the input signal.
Q: Can you control the constant current power amplifier / source output parameters remotely?
A: Yes. Remote control options are available. They are 0-10 V DC analog control, GPIB control, and RS232 controls.
Q: Can you design a single unit with multiple output channels?
A: Yes. We can design and manufacture units with multiple CC (constant current) and CV (constant voltage) channels. For example:
- We designed and manufactured 9-channel constant current power amplifier for Collins Aerospace.
- We designed and manufactured hybrid 8-channel AC power amplifiers (4 CC channels and 4 CV channels) for Honeywell Inc.
Q: Are the constant current power amplifiers / sources customizable?
A: Yes. Although we have a lot of standard models, we can easily customize our standard products to meet your specific requirements. Please contact our sales or technical support team with your specifications.
