Regenerative Grid Simulator, 12kVA to 756kVA
Regenerative Grid Simulator, 12kVA to 756kVA
The RGS Series is a high-density 2-in-1 grid simulator delivering up to 21kVA in a 4U chassis with scalability up to 756kVA. It emulates global grid conditions for compliance testing (IEEE 1547.1, UL 1741 SB, IEC 61000-3/4, etc.). With the optional AC/DC load, it can simulate inductive, capacitive, or resistive profiles for a complete test solution. The RGS is also ideal for testing bidirectional power applications to manage back-EMF safely, such as motors.

- Reduce the need for additional capital
- RGS Series also has 130% overload capability for 2s
As grid-connected devices evolve, accurate compliance testing to standards like IEEE 1547 and UL 1741 SB is essential. Regenerative grid simulators replicate voltage sags, brownouts, and real-world disturbances. This webinar covers how smart control and advanced hardware improve testing for LVRT, interoperability, harmonics, flicker, immunity, anti-islanding, and more.
The RGS Regenerative Grid Simulator built-in digitizer and scope with 200 µs resolution. Supports LIST, PULSE, STEP, and generates Sine, Square, Triangle, Clipped, Harmonics, and Inter-harmonics.
- AC, DC configurations
- Simultaneously test AC and DC, Source or Load on separate phases
- Full galvanic isolation from facility AC input to output and between output phases/channels also protects the user and the UUT.
Simultaneous AC and DC operation of modes per phase(or channel), and the automatic switching of output modes provides test engineers with a unique capability and the highest degree of flexibility.

Notes:
- For higher power levels up to 756kW, contact Factory for more details.
- All RGS models have a single voltage range with constant power profile. This eliminates the need for switching between a high and a low voltage range. If desired, a low voltage range can be simulated.
- Maximum current ratings shown are available up to maximum power point. Voltage and Current follow constant power profile so higher current at lower voltage and lower current at higher voltage is available.
- Three phase input: 380 ~ 480 VAC ± 10% input range. All models have active power factor corrected AC inputs. Models above 12kW require 380~480Vac Input service to deliver full power. 208-240Vac models are not available at this time.
- 19 Inch Cabinet not included with parallel system kits. Contact us for integrated cabinet systems.
- Lower power RGS models can be upgraded to higher power levels using our POWER FLEX upgrade program.
- Contact customer service for details.
