300XAC Series

Modular AC
Power Sources

Overview

Our 300XAC Series modular AC power sources

incorporate the latest in modular technology, making
them ideal for the most demanding applications.
These versatile AC power sources can be congured
for 1Φ stand-alone operation or linked together for
up to 18 kVA of AC power in both 1Φ and 3Φ
output congurations.

Our smartDETECT ® feature automatically assigns
the appropriate master/slave designation for

each source without the need for the operator to
recongure internal hardware. The easy-to-use
push-button interface allows the operator to select
1Φ or 3Φ operation, setup and perform tests, and
simulate the effect of voltage surges and drops for
transient testing.

The 300XAC Series comes with your choice of an
automated interface at no extra charge. Choose
from USB, Ethernet, RS-232, or GPIB.

Features

• Modular design allows operator to connect up to 3 instruments
together for 1Φ or 3Φ applications requiring up to 18 kVA
of AC power

• Congure 2 sources for 1Φ/3W output voltages up to 600 VAC

• smartCONFIG® feature allows for push-button setup of
1Φ/3Φ output

• 50 built-in memory locations with 9 test steps can be linked to
quickly store and recall test parameters for multiple product
testing applications

• Transient feature simulates voltage variations, brownouts, and
transient voltage conditions

• Adjust the starting and ending angle of the output waveform

APT...The Power of Value!

• Industry-leading standard 2-year warranty

• Guaranteed 24-hour shipment or we pay the freight

• 48-hour turnaround on all repairs

• Prompt feature allows operator to display instructions between

test steps

• Frequency output up to 1000 Hz

• Constant current output with over current fold back feature

• Advanced metering circuits monitor voltage, current, peak
current, power, apparent power, reactive power, power factor,
and crest factor

• External voltage sensing for accurate metering

• DC Output Capability

• Standard USB/RS-232 interface with optional GPIB and
Ethernet interfaces available at no extra charge

• Rotary knob to adjust voltage and frequency on the y

• 45-day return policy – no questions asked

The Benefits of the 300XAC Modular
AC Power Sources

The APT Link Card (Option 08)

The 300XAC Series can be used as a stand-alone
instrument which provides 1Φ output power. If the
Linking Card option is installed, up to three 300XAC
instruments can be interconnected for Parallel or
Polyphase output.

Master/Slave Relationship

The master/slave relationship between linked 300XAC
instruments synchronizes the rmware of each power
source so the output and phase angle separation is

The APT 300XAC Modular Power Sources

can link several AC power sources to

give you the maximum flexibility that your

regulated. It also gives the operator the capability to
program parameters for all linked sources from the front
panel of the master instrument.

What is a modular AC
power source?

We use the term modular to dene the capability
of the 300XAC Series of AC power sources to be
interconnected in order to produce higher power
outputs and different power congurations than
an individual instrument. When multiple 300XAC
instruments are interconnected the operator can
congure the output for Parallel or Polyphase
modes. Parallel mode allows the operator to
increase the output current of the system by
a factor of 2 or 3 depending on the number of
sources that are interconnected. Polyphase
mode allows the operator to increase the total
power output of the system as well as change
the output power conguration of the system.

SmartDETECT

®

The SmartDETECT feature automatically determines
how many power sources are linked together. After the
check is completed the 300XAC Series will automatically
change the programming output function based on the
number of linked sources.

SmartCONFIG® Feature

The SmartCONFIG feature allows the operator to
change the output of the linked sources to Parallel or
Polyphase mode with the push of a button.

The Modular AC Source Advantage

Easy to change from 1Φ to 3Φ output

No need to have separate sources for 1Φ to 3Φ applications

Allows for future expansion if power requirements change

Greater mobility of the AC Power Source

The ability to generate greater current or voltage if only 1Φ power is available

The ability to generate 3Φ power if only 1Φ power is available
