Genesys (TM) 3.3 kW - Lambda Power Supplies

The Genesys^TM Series 3.3kW models have a voltage range of 8 to 600 Volts DC, with a current range of 5.5 to 400 Amps.

For example:

• Gen8-400
• Gen10-330
• Gen15-220
• ...

The Genesys^TM family of programmable power supplies sets a new standard for flexible, reliable, AC/DC power systems in OEM, Industrial and Laboratory applications. Now available in three power levels (750W, 1.5kW, or 3.3kW) and with available output voltages from 7.5 to 600V, and current up to 400A. Popular worldwide inputs and active PFC head a long list of standard features.

The newest member of the Genesys^TM product family of programmable switching power supplies provides high power density, low ripple and a complete set of user-friendly interfaces. In addition to high power density, popular worldwide single and three phase inputs are available. They feature Active Power Factor Correction of 0.99 typical at full load with the single phase input and 0.94 typical with three phase inputs. This assures operation in difficult AC environments and meets European EMC requirements.

The user-friendly front panel provides reliable control through encoders selectable for fine or course adjustment (6 or 30 turns) and four digit LED Voltage and Current meters. Adjustable OVP, UVL and Current Foldback provide further flexibility. Their set values may be previewed on the front panel display. The Foldback may be set to latch output off if desired for safety.

Genesys^TM 3.3kW includes several important new features and options. Up to four like units may be connected in parallel and user configured for the Master to Program and Monitor the total current of the group. Thus, four units can appear as a single 13.2kW power supply, increasing flexibility for system designers.

In the Digital Options, a new option called Multi-Drop allows an IEEE Multi-Drop Master to control Multi-Drop equipped Slaves over RS-485, avoiding the cost of a GPIB board in every slave power supply. Up to 31 may be addressed over the RS-485 lines of Master and Slaves.

Significant safety features include Safe Re-Start and Last Setting Memory. With Safe Re-Start, the user can select whether the Genesys^TM power supply returns to previous settings after power off, or returns to zero (safe) output, waiting for user instructions. Last Setting Memory retains settings of output voltage and current, remote or local mode, OVP and UVL, Foldback, Baud Rate and Start Up Mode, without battery. Front Panel controls also include Output On/Off and Local/Remote selection. The Front Panel may be locked locally or by software command.

Like other Genesys^TM products, the new Lambda series includes standard, embedded 16 bit RS-232/RS-485 digital interface. Through this digital interface up to 31 power supplies may be controlled in daisy chain over the RS-485 line. Analog remote programming is user selectable 0-5V or 0-10V via DIP switches on the rear panel. The design of GenesysTM power supplies is highly modular to offer short lead times. SMT technology provides high reliability.

Digital and isolated analog interfaces are optional. The optional IEEE digital interface is IEEE488.2 & SCPI compliant. Labview Drivers are available. Isolated analog programming options include either 0-5V & 0-10V or 4-20ma control.
