OverviewThe Sorensen SGX Series programmable modular DC power supplies deliver very high power density and scalable configurations for demanding industrial and test applications. Each 3U chassis accepts one to six 5 kW modules to provide 5 kW–30 kW per chassis; a 15 kW configuration supports outputs down to 20 V in a 3U form factor. Up to sixty-five 15 kW units can be paralleled for a combined system output up to 975 kW. The front air intake and stackable design enable dense rack installations without clearance between units.
Advanced Intelligent ControlOperation is via an intuitive front-panel touchscreen and encoder selector for rapid access to programming, sequencing and measurements. A dynamic rate-change algorithm provides fine control for small adjustments and fast sweeps across the full range. Standard control interfaces include LXI Ethernet and RS232; optional GPIB and isolated analog control are available for system integration.
