The AZX Series is a family of high power, single, split and three phase, AC, DC and AC+DC output capable Power Sources with full energy recovery to the AC mains when sinking power from the equipment under test. Available models range from 30 kVA to 440 kVA. Using a modern color touch screen based user interface for ease of use, the AZX Series is cost effective and fully programmable for both basic frequency conversion and advanced AC power line or DC power disturbance test applications requiring up to 1000 Hz fundamental frequency.
The energy recovery capability allows both sourcing and sinking of current and power up to 100% of rated power. Adding the Load Option (Option L) adds full electronic regenerative AC & DC Load programming capability to the AZX.
Regenerative High Power AC, DC and AC+DC Power Sources. Available in power levels from 30 kVA to 440kVA. Returns energy back to AC grid when sinking power.

The AZX Series consists of a range of High Power Switching AC, DC and AC+DC capable Power Sources with regenerative capability to support both sourcing and sinking of current and power. Energy recovery to the grid enables testing of products using only a fraction of the required grid power when compared to using non-regenerative power sources, saving cost. The AZX also supports testing of grid-tied products like wind and solar inverters, energy storage systems (ESS) and electric Vehicle to Grid (V2G) and Vehicle to Home discharge systems.
Covering a power range from 30 kVA to 440 kVA and higher if needed. All AZX models offer single, split and three phase output configurations as well as special dual or triple independent outputs as needed. The AZX is a state-of-the-art design using Silicon Carbide (SiC) power devices for enhanced performance.
Great emphasis has been placed on energy efficiency, ease of installation, and maximum power. Control and operational features provide a high degree of application versatility and ease of use for the test engineer. Applications range from simple, manually controlled frequency conversion to IEC power line emission and immunity testing and with sophisticated transient simulation. For defense and aviation applications, the AZX supports a fundamental frequency range up to 1000 Hz and dual AC voltage ranges of 0~225Vac and 0~440Vac (L-N) respectively and to support most avionics compliance test standards. In DC mode, voltage ranges are 0~335Vdc and 0~650Vdc.

Provides for exceptional accuracy of the AC or DC output Voltage. When enabled, accuracy improves to ±0.02% referenced to the power source internal voltmeter.
Select between 225Vac LN or 440Vac LN voltage ranges for optomal power delivery at any votage.
Up to 200 different waveforms can be stored in the waveform library for execution as part of a steady state program or for substitution in any output phase as part of a transient test program. Memory location #1 is a non-editable high resolution sine wave. Locations 2-200 are editable and can be substituted in any output phase. An unlimited number of waveforms may be stored on the computer using the available PPSC Manager Windows software.
Create and execute transients that occur over a specified time segment to modify the output waveform, voltage, and frequency for any or all phases. LIST, PULSE and STEP Transient modes are supported.
An output trigger is provided for synchronizing external test equipment to the actual transient event.
Create and execute transients that substitute a waveform in any or all phases for 1 to 100 cycles. The waveform being substituted can be selected and/or modified from the waveform library.
The AZX Series Power Source can both source and sink current and power from an EUT. Thus it acts as a Grid Simulator for testing of grid connected, energy producing products like PV Inverters or bidirectional EV Chargers. In DC mode, the AZX can be used to charge and discharge large battery packs up to 650Vdc with the addition of the Electronic Load Option L.
Special test requirements such the application of a DC offset on an AC line or AC ripple on a DC supply output are supported by selecting the AC+DC Mode of operation.
The AZX Series is an excellent source of stable AC voltage over the frequency range of 15 to 1,000 Hz. The output frequency is accurate to 0.01%.
With the ability to provide singe, split and three-phase outputs, the AZX Series is the well suited to provide 1 Phase to 2 or 3 Phase or 3 Phase to 1 Phase conversion for large AC loads
The AZX power source can be used as an electronic load by adding the “L” option. With this option, full electronic load capabilities are added in both AC and DC mode. Regenerative Loads save cost by reducing electricity use and heat generation. They also allow testing of higher power EUTs as most of the power sent to the AZX load is regenerated back on the gird so the test lab power feed only has to cover the losses of the test equipment used and the EUT.
Supported Load Modes are Constant Current (CC), Constant Resistive (CR), Constant Power (CP) and Circuit Emulation (CE). Voltage, power and current ranges remain the same as in Voltage Source or Current Source modes.
