California Instruments BPS Series
30–180 kVA
Overview
• High Power AC Source
Programmable AC power for frequency conversion
and product test applications
• Expandable Power Levels
Available output power of 30, 45, 75 and 90 kVA
per unit and multi-unit congurations for power
requirements up to 180 kVA and above
• Remote Control
Standard RS232, USB and IEEE-488 (GPIB) and optional LAN interfaces are available for automated
test applications.
Introduction
The BPS Series consists of multiple high power AC
power systems that provide controlled AC output
for ATE and product test applications.
This high power AC test system covers a wide
spectrum of AC power applications at an
affordable cost. Using state-of-the-art PWM
switching techniques, the BPS Series combines
compactness, robustness and functionality in a
compact oor-standing chassis, no larger than a
typical ofce copying machine. 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 BPS Series is ready
to work for you.
Simple Operation
The BPS Series 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 BPS
Series to be easily integrated into an automated
test system.
Congurations
The BPS is capable of delivering 30, 45, 75, 90,
150 or 180kVA of AC power. The 30 and 45kVA
models come as dedicated single or three phase
output while the 75, 90, 150 and 180kVA models
are dedicated three phase.
For higher power requirements, simply parallel
the BPS in multi-cabinet conguration. Multi
cabinet systems always operate in three phase
output mode commonly found in power systems.
Product Evaluation and Test
Increasingly, manufacturers of high power
equipment and appliances are required to fully
evaluate and test their products over a wide
range of input line conditions. The built-in output
transient generation and read-back measurement
capability of the BPS Series offers the convenience
of a powerful, and easy to use, integrated test
system.
Avionics
With an output frequency range to 819 Hz,
the BPS Series is well suited for aerospace
applications. Precise frequency control and
accurate load regulation are key requirements in
these applications. The available remote control
interfaces and SCPI command language provide
for easy integration into existing ATE systems.
The BPS Series eliminates the need for several
additional pieces of test equipment, saving
cost and space. Instrument drivers for popular
programming environments such as National
Instruments LabView™ are available to speed up
system integration.
Choice of voltage ranges
Standard voltage ranges are 150V L-N
(259V L-L) and 300V (519V L-L) and are direct
coupled output.
For applications requiring more than 300V L-N
(or 519V L-L), the optional -HV output
transformer provides a third additional
400V L-N and 693 V L-L output range which is
internal to the AC chassis. No external magnetics
modules are required.
Multi-Box Congurations
For high power applications, two BPS75 or BS90
chassis can be combined to provide 150kVA or
180kVA of output power. For higher power
requirement please contact sales for custom
congurations.

BPS Series
Simple transition from R&D to
Manufacturing.
The California Instruments Mx and RS Series are
high performance, feature rich Research and
Development solutions. That level of advanced
performance is not always required in production
and lab environments. Since the BPS shares
common code structure and performance
characteristics as the Mx and RS the BPS is ideally
suited to easily transition into cost effective
production solutions.
High Crest Factor
With a crest factor of up to 4.5, the BPS Series
AC source can drive difcult nonlinear loads with
ease. Since many modern products use switching
power supplies, they have a tendency to pull high
repetitive peak currents.
Remote Control
Standard RS232, USB and IEEE 488 (GPIB) along
with optional LAN
programming of all instrument functions from an
external computer. The popular SCPI command
protocol is used for programming.
Application Software
Windows® application software is included.
This software provides easy access to the power
source’s capabilities without the need to develop
any custom code. The following functions are
available through this GUI program:
• Steady state output control (all parameters)
• Create, run, save, reload and print
transient programs
• Measure and log standard measurements
• Capture and display output voltage and
current waveforms.
• Measure standard power measurements..
• Display IEEE-488, RS232C, USB and LAN bus
trafc to and from the AC Source to help you
develop your own test programs.

BPS Series - AC Transient Generation
The BPS Series controller has a powerful AC
transient generation system that allows complex
sequences of voltage and frequency to be
generated. This further enhances the BPS’s
capability to simulate AC line conditions and
disturbances. Transient generation is controlled
independently yet time synchronized on all
three phases. Accurate phase angle control and
synchronized transient list execution provide
unparalleled accuracy in positioning AC output
events.
Transient programming is easily accomplished
from the front panel where clearly laid out menu’s
guide the user through the transient denition
process.
The front panel provides a convenient listing
of the programmed transient sequence and
allows for transient execution Start, Stop,
Abort and Resume operations. User dened
transient sequences can be saved to non-volatile
memory for instant recall and execution at a
later time. The included Graphical User Interface
program supports transient denitions using
a spreadsheet-like data entry grid. A library
of frequently used transient programs can be
created and saved using this GUI program.

BPS Series
BPS Series - Measurement and Analysis
The BPS Series is much more than a
programmable AC power source. It also
incorporates an advanced digital signal processor
based data acquisition system that continuously
monitors all AC source and load parameters.
This data acquisition system forms the basis for
all measurement and analysis functions. These
functions are accessible from the front panel and
the remote control interface for the BPS Series.
Conventional Measurements
Common AC measurement parameters are
automatically provided by the data acquisition
system. These values are displayed in numeric
form on the front panel LCD display. The
following measurements are available: Frequency,
Vrms, Irms, Ipk, Crest Factor, Real Power (Watts),
Apparent Power (VA) and Power Factor.
Waveform Acquisition
The measurement system is based on real-time
digitization of the voltage and current waveforms
using a 4K deep sample buffer. This time domain
information provides detailed information on
both voltage and current waveshapes. Waveform
acquisitions can be triggered at a specic phase
angle or from a transient program to allow
precise positioning of the captured waveform
with respect to the AC source output.
The front panel LCD displays captured waveforms
with cursor readouts. The included GUI program
also allows acquired waveform data to be
displayed, printed, and saved to disk.
