9100 Series

DC – 250 kHz, 200 Vp Switch-Mode Amplifiers

9100 Series

5 kW, up to 540A continuous, single-phase

AE Techron’s 9100 Series amplifiers are 200Vp, DC-to-250 kHz capable amplifiers that offer a unique combination of switch-mode efficiency and linear-amplifier-like fidelity in a single, compact package. They can drive virtually any type of load without a reduction in rated power, with low distortion and low DC drift. They are also fast enough to meet 7µs surge and dropout requirements.

 

Key Performance Capabilities:

  • Bandwidth: DC to 250 kHz
  • Minimum Drop/Rise Time: 7µs
  • Slew Rate: Up to 150 V/µs
  • Max Voltage: 200 Vp
  • Max Current: 35A RMS to 540A RMS
  • Distortion: <0.1% at 1 kHz below clip
  • Max Long-Term Power: 5 kW to 30 kW*
  • Typical Output Ripple: 0.6V RMS

OVERVIEW

The 9100 series is power-efficient, with a typical efficiency over 90% at full power. It is a powerful and flexible partner when the environment is difficult or existing AC Mains options are limited.

The single-unit models can be powered from any normal single-phase AC mains voltage (100V AC — 250V AC). The cabinet-based Power Systems can be powered from a variety of three-phase voltages from 200VAC to 415VAC*.

This combination of features makes the 9100 series an ideal solution for a wide range of high-current, low-voltage applications that require both wide bandwidth and the ability to drive reactive or widely varying load impedances.

  • Stable when driving highly capacitive loads
  • Four-quadrant operation
  • User-selectable gain
  • User-selectable current limit to protect fragile DUTs or where specified in the Standard
  • DC enabled or DC blocked and DC Servo (for driving transformer-coupled loads or coils)
  • Balanced and/or unbalanced input
  • Operate as a voltage-controlled voltage source or voltage-controlled current source
  • Variable output impedance from 0 to 1 ohm (Voltage mode)

* Three-phase voltages above 240VAC will require a 5-wire service.

Conversion Calculators
Formulas, equations, and calculation tools for most compliance engineering applications.


Ohm’s Law
Ohm's Law is valid for circuits that contain only resistive elements (no capacitors or inductors). Ohm's Law is true for voltage and current (DC) or (AC).


Effective Impedance
Effective Impedance is the DC resistance plus the additional apparent impedance caused by inductance and capacitance at a specified frequency.


Voltage to dB Converter
This function converts the linear relationship between two voltages or powers into decibels, and decibels in power or voltage gain or attenuation.


Voltage Dropped & Power Dissipated Across a Series Resistor
Power dissipation is a measure of how much power is converted into heat in a circuit due to inefficiencies.


Compliance Voltage
Compliance voltage represents the maximum voltage a current source will reach as it attempts to produce the desired current at the desired rate of change.


Decibel Conversion
Converts between decibels, voltage (or current) gain, and power gain.


Watts to Joules Conversion
Convert watts to joules by entering the power in watts and time in seconds using this easy calculator.
