2 PPM

< 2 PPM Long term stability (8h)

Zero Thermal Drift

0 ppm/K, 25ºC stable operation with ±0.1 ºC deviation.
ADC and burden resistor for the current digital control loop are located inside a peltier chamber to ensure temperature independent operation.

DCCT Technology

The feedback measurement of the current control loop is carried out using a DCCT sensor with a linearity error less than 1 ppm.

Vienna Rectifier

Active input filter with PFC = 1 in all operating range

LDO references

Digital converters ADC and DAC are powered by LDOs. This linear technology avoids commutations and noise. This means that the converter instrumentation has high accuracy and clean voltage.

Power Flow Screen

The digital 7-inch display allows to monitor the complete power flow of the power supply

Active temperature monitoring

Key points temperature is monitored in the converter. Points such as semiconductors, high frequency transformer, input and output fans are controlled to ensure the correct operation of the device and to prevent possible failures.

Multiple control modes

The power supply can be controlled in multiple modes, such as constant current, constant voltage, hybrid, constant power, analog reference for voltage or current or as a function generator for current, voltage or power

Remote sensing

Remote voltage sensing to avoid voltage drop in cables by measuring real voltage on the load.

Long term data storage

RPSu stores many parameters in a database. Those parameters can be displayed on charts, user can choose which parameters to display. All parameters data are stored from the first day of operation of the RPSu. Those can be downloaded from USB port.

Noise immunity

· Switching semiconductors are driven by means of an optical fiber digital transmitter, achieving the highest performance in terms of speed, bandwith, attenuation and noise immunity.
· Optic fiber drivers.
· The power supply uses a high frequency transformer designed to minimize the dispersed flow, preventing induced currents and noise generation.
