Fast Bidirectional DC Power Supply, 5kW to 4MW
Fast Bidirectional DC Power Supply, 5kW to 4MW
The AL3000R is a cost-effective, bidirectional DC power supply that delivers clean, efficient output while recovering energy from the load, returning it to the grid. These fully integrated units are available from 5kW–500kW (up to 4MW parallel), 10-1200V. With flexible modes, and automation-ready controls, it’s ideal for battery testing, EV regenerative braking, and dynamic industrial or power electronics applications.
Why Choose AL3000R Series
Bidirectional DC power supply with power up to 4MW with energy recovery to the grid
All-included safeties and clean design simplifies test set up, usage, and maintenance
Fast rise and fall times down to 500μS. Overload capacity up to 200% for 1 minute
High-frequency switching and multi-level topology deliver clean DC output

Regenerative High Power DC Power Supply
Using an isolation dual back-to-back full bridge topology, the AL3000 provides efficient and reliable solid state power conversion in non-regenerative mode. A regenerative version - AL3000R - is available as well.
The AL3000 is available in either standard version (max current available at max voltage) or in Constant Power version using a more flexible range where higher output current is available at lower voltage settings. This is illustrated in the diagram to the right.
Multi-turn potentiometers provide precision control over voltage and current set points. Settings can be locked so no accidental adjustment can be made.
Two large LED Segment displays provide continuous readouts of voltage and current to the load.
Intuitive Windows based AM Manager control software turns any PC into a remote operator console. The AM Manager software provided a higher level of power supply control than available from the front panel.
