9100 Series
DC – 250 kHz, 200 Vp Switch-Mode Amplifiers
9100 Series
5 kW, up to 100A 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 are able to 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 5µs surge and dropout requirements.
Key Performance Capabilities:
- Bandwidth: DC to 250 kHz
- Minimum Drop/Rise Time: 5µs
- Slew Rate: Up to 150 V/µs
- Max Voltage: 0 to 200 Vp
- Max Current: Up to 37 to 100 Ap
- Distortion: <0.1% at 1 kHz below clip
- Max Long-Term Power: 5 kW*
- Typical Output Ripple: 0.6V RMS
*9105 output is 4.5 kW from 230V or 240V sources; output for all other models is 5 kW.
OVERVIEW
The 9100 Series is a powerful and flexible partner when the environment is difficult or existing AC Mains options are limited. It is able to be powered from any normal single-phase AC mains voltage (100VAC – 250VAC). It is power-efficient, producing up to 2,000 watts output from a 20A, 120V AC mains supply, and up to 5 kW* from 230V or 240V sources.
This combination of features makes the 9100 series an ideal solution for a wide range of high-current, low-voltage applications that require both DC power and quick surges or drop-outs, like those found in conducted immunity testing of DC-powered systems in the automotive and aviation markets.
- Stable when driving highly capacitive loads
- Four-quadrant operation
- Fixed or variable 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)
*9105 output is 4.5 kW from 230V or 240V sources; output for all other models is 5 kW.
