Helion, as it will be called, fits a 3U rack slot and designed to work with up to six output or load modules, which slide in from its rear.
These can be ac or dc types, which the unit automatically identifies.
“The flexibility achieved by this modular architecture and structure allows users to arbitrary set up a testing loop to match both input and output of their devices under test,” according to the company. “The features enable simultaneous simulation of solar panel input and grid-side absorption on one single platform that matches the testing topology of micro-inverter.”
There are two chassis:
- MIX36200 has a single-phase input and can deliver 6.6kW from 200-240Vac (L-N) or 200-440Vac (L-L)
- MIX36300 has a three-phase input and can deliver 9.9kW from 200-480Vac
In to these can be mixed and matched a choice of two ac modules (left), six bidirectional dc modules (up to 160V and ±60A), and six photovoltaic simulator modules.
“Engineers can set three dc modules as source as the input side and three ac modules as load,” said Action Power.
Communication is through USB, LAN or RS232/RS485 (SCPI/MODBUS supported), and can be web-based.
The units, said Action Power, are built to: UL1741SA, IEEE1547, IEC62116, NB/T32004 and T/CPSS1007-2020.
Based in Xi’an, and with a facility Jiangsu and sales in Germany, Action Power has been operatign for 29 years. It develops and makes programmable power supplies and automated test equipment for power electronics, photovoltaic inverters and energy storage systems.
