Solid State Frequency Converters
The FVC series frequency converters are robust, economical, easy to use. Developed for intensive use on production lines, these AC power sources also suitable for research and development laboratories. Due to their high switching frequency combined with multi-level switching technology, they provide a low distortion sinusoidal output voltage with low noise. The power range is from 5KVA up to 1000KVA and voltage ranges up to 1000V L-L. All FVCT models are three phase output and can go up to 1000kVA. The FVC Series is equipped with a modern and simple user interface which makes setup and parameter readings very simple and intuitive. These units are packaged in a wheeled cabinet (low and medium power levels) or stationary cabinet.
Programmable via serial RS485 optional USB, LAN or optical fiber. Four digital I/O and four analog I/O support easy integration with automatic test lines. The output voltage can be regulated with continuity from 0 to the maximum value, as well as the current, power and the internal resistance. All devices are equipped with “sensing” for the compensation of the voltage drop along the cables (up to 10% of the F.S.). They handle abrupt load variations with recovery times of less than 1 mS for load variations of 50%.
All the equipment can be fitted with dissipative Brushless DC motor control (BLDC) module for the dissipation of energy coming from the load.
Topology
Using an full bridge output inverter topology and isolation output transformer, the FVC Series provides efficient and reliable solid state power conversion in non-regenerative mode. A regenerative version is available as well.
The FVC is available with either a single output voltage range or with two, selectable output voltage ranges. This is illustrated in the diagram to the right.
Front Panel Controls
Multi-turn potentiometers provide precision control over voltage and frequency 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.
AL Manager Software
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.
