California Instruments MX15-1 Power System, 50V, 15kVA, Single Phase, Standard Controller

The California Instruments MX15-1 Test System consists of multiple high power AC and DC power systems that provide controlled AC and DC output for ATE and product test applications. This high power AC and DC test system covers a wide spectrum of AC and DC power applications at an affordable cost. Using state-of-the-art PWM switching techniques, the California Instruments MX15-1 Test System combines compactness, robustness and functionality in a compact floor-standing chassis. This higher power density has been accomplished without the need to resort to elaborate cooling schemes or additional installation wiring. Simply roll the unit to its designated location (using included casters), plug it in, and the California Instruments MX15-1 Test System is ready to work for you.

The California Instruments MX15-1 Test System can be operated completely from its menu driven front panel controller. A backlit LCD display shows menus, setup data, and read-back measurements. IEEE-488, RS232C, USB and LAN remote control interfaces and instrument drivers for popular ATE programming environments are available. This allows the California Instruments MX15-1 to be easily integrated into an automated test system.

The California Instruments MX15-1 Test System delivers up to 15 kVA of single phase output. It operates using single output in AC mode and in DC mode, 50% of the AC power level is available. The built-in output transient generation and read-back measurement capability of the MX15-1 offers the convenience of a powerful, and easy to use, integrated test system.
