Advantages and functions of NEXUS Regenerative AC Power Supply
Source-Load Power Supply with 4-Quadrant Operation Capability
NEXUS Regenerative AC Power Supply combines both AC power source and regenerative electronic load in one system. The regenerative load technology allows the system to recover the current up to 100% back to grid with a regenerative efficiency of 91% the saves considerably energy testing cost.
High Power and Technical Ratings
Maximum voltage up to 600V, and scalable up to 4MVA AC output power by parallel expansion though optical fiver communication without compromising precision, accuracy, dynamics, and response.
High-Power Density and Compact Footprint
NEXUS Regenerative AC Power Supply achieves high power density at 173kVA per cubic meter (cbm) thanks to the advanced power electronics technology and compact footprint. NEXUS's high power density feature optimizes the system utilization by 54% and reduces weight by 52% compared to conventional solutions. Laboratories and production lines can benefit from NEXUS as a powerful solution with minimal footprint to upscale their productivity per area.
Scalability at both Modular and Rack Level, Redundancy and Low Maintenance Features
NEXUS Regenerative AC Power Supply features modular system architecture with fault redundancy capability. In the event of equipment failure, redundant backup components quickly take over, ensuring controllable repair time and maximum protection of production efficiency.
The system is unscalable at both modular and rack level. Users can achieve higher rated power to meet evolving test specifications either by adding more racks to their existing system or by incorporating more modules with in the rack. The unique modular and rack-level scalability addresses long-term value and serviceability waiving the necessity of repurchase.
