AMETEK Programmable Power Asterion DC ASA Series

Overview

The AMETEK Programmable Power Asterion DC ASA Series represents the latest addition to the Asterion platform of DC power testing solutions. This multi-output system features three independently controlled and isolated DC output channels, each delivering 600W, for a combined 1800W total output power. The autoranging triple-output architecture expands the current and voltage range at full output power, satisfying diverse testing requirements without requiring multiple power supply models.

Key Features

• Three independent, isolated DC output channels: 600W per channel, 1800W total
• Autoranging output channels: 5 selectable configurations
• Exceptional power density: 1800W in a compact 1U chassis
• Intuitive color touchscreen control panel with encoder knob
• Multi-language display for global operation
• Multi-channel programmable sequencing, ramps, and delays
• Active power factor correction (PFC)
• Standard interfaces: LAN (LXI), USB, and RS232
• Optional GPIB interface for legacy system compatibility
• Full remote control via Virtual Panels and digital interfaces
• Digital Signal Processor (DSP) controlled for precise parameter adjustment
• Dynamic rate-change algorithm for efficient control: precise adjustment for small changes, rapid sweeps across full range
