Data Sheet The PVS10005, PVS60085, and PVS60085MR programmable DC power supplies offer clean output power up to 5.1 kW, excellent regulation, and fast transient response time characteristics in an industry leading 2U package. These power supplies provide many useful features such as high programming resolution, multiple remote interfaces for test systems, and a built-in SAS (solar array simulator) function to generate PV (photovoltaic) I-V curves. The optional SAS software allows users to consistently reproduce various I-V curves to test a PV inverter's MPPT efficiency. For benchtop applications, this series provides an intuitive user interface with full keypad and rotary knob. System integrators benefit from the standard USB (virtual COM), RS232, GPIB, and LAN interfaces supporting SCPI commands. Free application software and a complete set of LabVIEW drivers are available to reduce programming time and increase productivity. The application software allows users to control the power supply, execute test sequences, or log measurements. It also integrates with Data Dashboard for LabVIEW apps, enabling users to remotely monitor select measurement indicators with iOS, Android, or Windows 8 compatible tablets or smart phones. These power supplies are well suited for both bench use and ATE systems integration, R&D, design verification, production test, and high voltage testing. Special Applications In particular, the low-noise characteristic of the PVS Series makes these instruments ideal for motor inverter testing. When operated with the optional SAS software, these power supplies can be used for solar array testing applications such as validating a solar inverter's MPPT algorithm and testing to EN50530 and Sandia Labs standards.

High Power Programmable DC Power Supplies PVS Series Remote control and programming Test system integration These power supplies offer standard USB, RS-232, GPIB, and LAN interfaces to facilitate test system development and integration. The PVS Series supports SCPI-compliant protocols and come with LabVIEW™ drivers. The PVS Series models provide a built-in web server that allows users to configure, control, or monitor the basic settings of the power supply from a remote computer using a web browser. Test sequence execution in list mode The list mode feature allows users to program a list of...

High Power Programmable DC Power Supplies PVS Series Flexible configuration Extensive device protection Multi-unit control To protect your DUT, the PVS Series provides several safety features: overvoltage (OVP), overcurrent (OCP), overpower (OPP), and overtemperature (OTP) protection. When a fault occurs, the power supply will turn off the output, sound an alarm, and display an error message. Similarly, with constant voltage-to-constant current (CV-to-CC) or constant current-to-constant voltage (CC-to-CV) foldback protection mode activated, the supply will shut down if load changes force...

Solar Array Simulation (SAS) Software Option Solar inverter designers need to verify their inverter is capable of delivering the maximum power available from solar modules. The I-V curve of solar cells can be influenced by various weather conditions such as a cloudy day. Combined with the SAS application software, PVS users can easily simulate the I-V curve of different arrays under various irradiance conditions while measuring and validating the effectiveness of the inverter's MPPT algorithm. Features ■ Variety of input parameters (Voc/Isc/Vmp/Imp/FF/FFv/FFi) ■ Monitors and logs real-time...
