Description
Overview
The Keysight MP4361A is a high-performance 1kW solar array simulator (SAS) DC power module designed to replicate the output characteristics of solar panels. Operating from 0-160V at up to 10A, it serves as a current source with minimal output capacitance, enabling rapid I-V curve alterations for precise simulation of different solar arrays. The auto-ranging capability optimizes performance across the full voltage and current range.
The MP4361A is ideal for satellite testing applications where accurate solar panel behavior simulation under varying environmental conditions (temperature, age, eclipse, spin) is critical. It functions as both a source and load, making it versatile for comprehensive power system validation.
