Astro Bug

IRVINE, Calif. - AstroBug -- Pacific Power Source, a leading global provider of AC & DC power test solutions, announces two cutting edge products, based on one of the company's most popular platforms, the all-in-1 Regenerative AC DC Power Sources - AZX Series.

The GSZ Regenerative Grid Simulator with PHIL provides a comprehensive platform for emulating the grid while the ELZ High Power Regenerative Electronic Load simulates any AC or DC power load. Models are available in 30kVA/kW, 45kVA/kw, and 55kVA/kW power blocks. Test systems are parallelable up to 440kVA/kW and upgradable to meet future power requirements.

"The best-in-class GSZ and ELZ Series are optimized for PHIL and have three powerful DSPs to cover advanced applications with the highest level of flexibility and intelligence. Comprehensive, versatile, and easy to use, our goal is to help innovate the way you test with smart power." Herman Vaneijkelenburg, Product Director.

The ability to emulate AC sourcing and loading supports the development and testing of grid connected devices such as the utility grid, EV chargers, Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G), Vehicle-to-Home (V2H), Solar PV/grid-tied inverters, energy storage systems, and more.

Regenerative, Bidirectional Power in Compact Design

These SmartRegen® products have greater than 90% energy efficiency and a high-power density with up to 55kVA in a single, mobile-friendly cabinet. Its top-vent air-cooled design allows the option to place them against a wall or back-to-back for high power multiple parallel units to maximize floor space.

SiC-Based Platform with Dual Voltage Range and Galvanic Isolation

The high tech 4-Quadrant design in Silicon Carbide (SiC)-technology supports superior voltage range, current and power specifications to enhance performance. Available voltage ranges are 225VLN / 390VLL and 440VLN / 760VLL in AC mode or ±335Vdc and ±650Vdc in DC Mode. Dual voltage ranges and constant power mode operation support a wide span of voltage and current output combinations. The system's fully galvanic-isolation and protection features protect the operator and UUT so users can test with confidence. Optimized for PHIL applications, this additional testing capability is ideal for real-time systems.

Ultimate Flexible Configuration & Programming Tools

A unique capability is the simultaneous AC and DC operation of modes per phase, and the automatic switching of output modes. This provides the ultimate flexibility for testing a wide range of conditions. Multiple, user-friendly control options provide the user with extensive control of AC and DC test parameters.
