MCB - Model PF-01-SS-R-V10-A100 -Current Generator
Current Generators are special AC Power Sources able to provide an arbitrarily high output current (up to tens of thousand of Amps) and a low output voltage (less than 10V). In other words, the generator’s output current is static and constant (as decided by the user), while the voltage on the output terminals depends on the load. Hence, if the load can absorb the set current without exceeding the voltage limit, the generator can work properly, otherwise the protection triggers.
How do current generators work?
MCB’s Current Generators convert energy with these steps:
- Rectification of the three-phase AC input voltage to DC
- PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) with high power Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBT)
- Output filter
- For AC generators, an output transformer converts the current back to AC
Since there are no moving parts, the dynamic response is linear and fast (e.g. from 0 to 6’000 Amps in about 150ms).
Our Current Generators – The Power Flow
AT A GLANCE
- Equipped with isolation autotransformer
- For AC Output, the phases working modes are:
- SS (single-phase input and output)
- TS (three-phase input single-phase output)
- TT (three-phase input and output)
- For DC Output, input can be either single-phase or three-phase.
