| SM 1500-CP-30 | 0 - 1500 V | -30 - 30 A |
The Delta SM15K fits naturally into integrated power supplies configurations thanks to its Master/Slave interface, up to 60 units can be paralleled to reach 900kW in a single rack build. As a fully capable bidirectional dc power supply, it handles both source and sink duties in the same chassis, keeping your DC Power Supplies footprint compact and your test lab energy-efficient.
Operation on a wide range of three phase AC input voltages
Standard Ethernet & Web interface
EMC surpasses CE requirements: low emission & high immunity
Low audible noise: temperature controlled cooling fans
Durable digital encoders for voltage & current adjustment and menu operation
Large user display, menu driven operations
Full power Bi-Directional two quadrant operation maintains the DC output voltage constant whether the output power is positive or negative. Ideal for PWM-speed controlled DC-Motors and ATE systems.
Reliable, long-life digital encoders are implemented at the front panel. Includes total front panel lock (also for CV- / CC-knobs) and a coarse or fine pitch adjustment depending on the turning speed.
Arbitrary Waveform generator or standalone automation.
A high DC output isolation allows floating operation up to 1000 V for SM70-CP-450, SM210-CP-150, and SM500-CP-90, and up to 1500 V for SM1500-CP-30.
