PS3 Three-Phase Power Source

PS3 Three-Phase Power Source

  • Broad range of output voltages, currents and allowable loads
  • High stability and low harmonic distortion
  • Multilevel protection system
  • Individual setting of each voltage, current and phase angle in each phase
  • Four-quadrant operation
  • Harmonics generation up to the 50th

The PS3 three phase power source was designed to provide a stable alternating current and voltage source for three phase electricity meter test equipment.

The basic functional components of the PS3 three phase power sources are:

OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS

Internal DSP controlled digital feedback loops ensures stability over time, quick setup of required parameters and low non-linear distortions of the output current and voltage signals. Precision regulation systems make the PS family capable of managing direct loads with a broad range of characteristics, from pure capacitive loads, through those that are resistive or inductive. Because of this ability, no external load compensators are needed.

Thanks to a broad range of output voltages and currents, setting any phase angle and generating harmonics is possible. The PS family efficiently tests all types of energy meters while retaining all the required electrical parameters.

Operational reliability and safety is provided through multilevel protection. Thanks to fully automatic settings and adjustments the PS family offers high reliability and class-leading continuity.

The power stages of the power amplifiers integrate PWM technology, ensuring high efficiency and very small thermal losses.

HARMONICS ABILITY

Standard versions of the PS3 three phase power source are able to generate harmonics up to the 21st order.  Enhanced harmonics versions marked with H are able to generate harmonics up to the 50th order.

ACU CONTROL UNIT

The PS3 three phase power source is equipped with the ACU-3000 control unit. Its main tasks are: detecting shorting between voltage and current circuits, controlling emergency switches, controlling tariff systems, signaling the presence of dangerous voltages on suspension racks and more.
