OVERVIEW
The 9160 is a powerful and flexible amplifier power system when the environment is difficult or existing AC Mains options are limited. This cabinet-based model, comprised of four 9115 units, can be powered from a variety of three-phase voltages from 200VAC to 415VAC*. It is power-efficient, with a typical efficiency over 90% at full power.
This combination of features makes the 9160 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.
