WARNING

Hazardous voltages may be present when covers are removed. Qualified personnel must use extreme caution when servicing this equipment. Circuit boards, test points, and output voltages also may be floating above (below) chassis ground.

WARNING

The equipment used contains ESD sensitive ports. When installing equipment, follow ESD Safety Procedures. Electrostatic discharges might cause damage to the equipment.

Important Safety Instructions

Before applying power to the system, verify that your product is configured properly for your particular application.

Only qualified personnel who deal with attendant hazards in power supplies, are allowed to perform installation and servicing.

Ensure that the AC power line ground is connected properly to the Power Rack input connector or chassis. Similarly, other power ground lines including those to application and maintenance equipment must be grounded properly for both personnel and equipment safety.

Always ensure that facility AC input power is de-energized prior to connecting or disconnecting any cable.

In normal operation, the operator does not have access to hazardous voltages within the chassis. However, depending on the user’s application configuration, HIGH VOLTAGES HAZARDOUS TO HUMAN SAFETY may be normally generated on the output terminals. The customer/user must ensure that the output power lines are labeled properly as to the safety hazards and that any inadvertent contact with hazardous voltages is eliminated.

Guard against risks of electrical shock during open cover checks by not touching any portion of the electrical circuits. Even when power is off, capacitors may retain an electrical charge. Use safety glasses during open cover checks to avoid personal injury by any sudden component failure.

Neither AMETEK Programmable Power Inc., San Diego, California, USA, nor any of the subsidiary sales organizations can accept any responsibility for personnel, material or inconsequential injury, loss or damage that results from improper use of the equipment and accessories.

1. Introduction

This instruction manual contains information on the installation, operation, calibration and maintenance of all power systems that use the 3001i, 5001i, 3001iX, and 5001iX power sources with the programmable controller. Higher power configurations consisting of multiple units operated in parallel are also covered by this user manual. Such models are 10001iX, 10002iX, 15003iX and 30003iX.

1.1 General Description

The 3001i, 5001i, 3001iX, and 5001iX are high efficiency, lightweight AC power sources that provide a precise output with low distortion. Older generation i Series have two voltage ranges, either 0-135V or 0-270V. The iX Series and the newer generation i Series offer two sets of ranges, 0-135/0-270 and 0-150/0-300. Full power is available at the maximum output voltage for all ranges. Two or three 5001i/iX units can be connected in parallel as a single-phase system for 10 kVA or 15 kVA respectively. Three or six units can be connected as a three-phase system. They can be operated with AC or DC output. The iX Series also offers AC+DC output mode.

3.1 Unpacking

Inspect the unit for any possible shipping damage immediately upon receipt. If damage is evident, notify the carrier. DO NOT return an instrument to the factory without prior approval. Do not destroy the packing container until the unit has been inspected for damage in shipment.

WARNING: This power source weighs 61 lb (28kg). Obtain adequate help when

moving or mounting the unit.

3.2 Power Requirements

The 3001i/iX AC Power Source has been designed to operate from a single-phase 208 to 240 volt AC line. The 5001i/iX AC Power Source and its systems have been designed to operate from a three-phase AC line voltage. Three three-phase input models are available for inputs of 208-240 VLL, 400-440 V

(option -400), or 400-480 V

(option -400).

CAUTION: Do not connect 400-480V into the 208-240V unit, the result could be a

severely damaged unit.

i Series / iX Series 15

User Manual

3.3 Mechanical Installation

The 3001i/iX and 5001i/iX are completely self contained power sources. They may be used free standing on a bench top or rack mounted using the optional rack mount/handle kit. The units are fan cooled, drawing air in from the sides and exhausting at the rear. The sides of each unit must

be kept clear of obstruction and a 6” clearance must be maintained to the rear. Special

consideration of overall air flow characteristics and the resultant internal heat rise must be allowed for with systems installed inside enclosed cabinets to avoid self heating and over temperature problems.

3.4 Input Wiring – TB1

The input terminal block, TB1, is located at the rear of the unit. Ground (earth) wire must be connected to the chassis of the AC power system. The mains source must have a current rating equal to or greater than the input circuit breaker and the input wiring must be sized to satisfy the applicable electrical codes. The input terminal block cover and strain relief must be installed in table top applications to maintain protection against hazardous voltages.

CAUTION: Capacitors in the power source may hold a hazardous electrical charge

even if the power source has been disconnected from the mains supply. Allow capacitors to discharge to a safe voltage before touching exposed pins of mains supply connectors.

3.5 Output Power Connections – TB2

The output terminal block, TB2, is located at the rear of the unit. The external sense inputs allow the power system output voltages to be monitored directly at the load and must be connected either at TB2 or the load when the sense is programmed for external. The external sense input does not have to be connected when Internal Sense is programmed. The external sense wires are to be connected to TB3 on the rear panel and should be run as a twisted pair for short lengths. Sense leads over three (3) feet long should be run as a twisted shielded pair. Refer to Figures 3-2 through 3-12 for all connections.

Note: The output of the power source is isolated from the input line and floating from

chassis ground. If needed, either side (HI or LO) may be grounded.
