Pacific Power 3150AFX AC/DC Power Source

Overview

The Pacific Power 3150AFX is a high-power programmable AC and DC power source designed for sophisticated test applications including frequency conversion, AC power line simulation, and DC power disturbance testing. Part of the AFX Series, it delivers 15 kVA of AC power and 15 kW of DC power in a compact 4U rack form factor with power density among the highest in the industry.

The 3150AFX uses state-of-the-art digital power conversion technology with high-frequency pulse width modulation, resulting in efficient, quiet operation. The unit supports single, split, and three-phase output configurations with programmable waveforms and extensive control features for both manual operation and automated test sequences.
