The PCR-WEA/WEA2 is a series of multifunctional switching AC power supplies that combines accurate, high-power output with an ultra-compact design. The 15 model line-up ranges from 1 kVA to 36 kVA AC/DC with single & 3-phase variable output from 6 kVA and up. The PCR-WEA2 also features a regenerative mode that can drastically reduce power consumption and cut operating costs.
The PCR-WEA2/WEA2R also supports mix-and-match parallel operation up to 144kVA for large-scale test systems. Output frequency up to 5kHz is also available with all models, which is critical for AC applications in avionic industries.
100% Regeneration Capability, No Time Limit
- The PCR-WEA2R models are capable of 100% power regeneration. The power regeneration feature is available with absolutely no reverse load flow time limit. (30% for PCR-LE/LE2)* Regeneration is limited within installation site. Only available in “R” models (PCR-WEA2R) with 3-phase 200 V/400 V input.
Power-saving mode
- The power-saving feature allows the PCR-WEA to cut the costs of operation by drawing power from only the necessary power modules required to reach the output setting.
Low Ripple Noise
- Achieves an extremely low switching noise for a PWM inverter-type AC power supply, with ripple noise as low as 0.25 Vrms. The PCR-WEA series even boasts similar noise performance with the PCR-LE/LE2 linear amplifier power supply series. The compact, high-power design of the PCR-WEA/WEA2 has been achieved with absolutely no compromises to ripple noise performance.
DC Output 100% of Rated Power
- The PCR-WEA/WEA2 series enables DC output up to 100% of the AC rated power output.
Output Frequency up to 5 kHz
- It has a maximum output frequency up to 5 kHz for critical applications in the defense and avionics industries. The frequency performance of the PCR-WEA allows for simulation of sharp voltage fluctuations required for airborne electronic equipment testing. Furthermore, the compact 6kVA/6U form factor allows for the easy preparation of an automated, one-rack testing system without requiring a costly, specialized power source installation space.
LAN, USB, RS232C Standard Digital Interface
- The PCR-WEA/WEA2 series includes a flexible digital interface for users utilizing LAN, USB, and RS232C communication interfaces (GPIB option available). LAN connection is LXI compliant, allowing you to monitor and control your device wherever you are via computer, smartphone, or tablet web browser. This feature is particularly important when conducting critical AC tests in anechoic chambers/shield rooms. Additionally, the PCR-WEA can be controlled directly with easy remote-control software for customers with limitations in external communication.
Power Line Error Simulation
- The PCR-WEA/WEA2 series can simulate various power line abnormalities such as power outages, voltage drops (dips) and voltage increases (pops). This feature is useful for the testing of power-source switches and various electronic devices.
