DCR600-20 DC Output Module
The DCR600-20 is a unique approach to generating programmable DC voltages to test
DC powered equipment using a Pacic Power Source AMX Series AC Power Source.
The DCR600-20 connects between the AC Power Source outputs terminals and the
UUT and recties the programmed AC output voltage into a stable DC voltage.
Pacic Power’s AMX and ASX-Series high performance Linear AC Power Sources oer
low output voltage noise and distortion, ease of installation, and high AC waveform
delity that is used to produce the required DC output voltage.
DC Test Capability From an AC Power Source
Leverage your existing investment in your AC Power Source by using it not only
for AC product development and test but for DC power products as well. The
same programmable features and function available on the AC Power Source
can be applied to an AC derived DC output. DC voltage is twice that of the AC
Line to Neutral voltage so scaling from AC to DC is easy.
Simple Connection, Quiet Operation
The DCR unit is placed between the AC Power Source output and the DC load
under test. For best results, a three phase AC Power Source is recommended. No
other equipment is needed to provide DC power. A set of banana jacks is provided on the DCR unit to connect a DMM which can be used to monitor the DC
output voltage. No DC bias supply is needed to operate the DCR unit and only
convection cooling is needed to cool the unit so no fan noise is present.
DC Test Sequence Programming
By programming the required AC voltage output sequence on the AC Power
Source, sophisticated test sequences can easily be applied to a DC unit under
test.
The Leader in AC Power Technology now oers DC
An early pioneer in the development solid-state power conversion equipment,
Pacic Power Source continues to develop, manufacture, and market both linear
and high-performance PWM AC Power Sources. Pacic’s reputation as a market and
technology leader is best demonstrated by its continuing investments in both research and development and world-wide customer support. With corporate owned
oces in the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, and China, local personalized support is always available.

DCR600-20
Principle of Operation
The DCR600-20 uses a three phase diode bridge to rectify the AC input voltage to a single DC rail. By using the square wave
capability of the AMX Series AC Power Sources, low voltage ripple can be accomplished with only minimal bulk DC storage
capacitance at the output. This results in faster DC slew rates compared to a typical 6KW DC Power Supply. No modications
are needed to the AC Power Source to use the DCR unit as it is fully self-contained. If the DCR unit is placed away from the
AC Power Source used to drive its input, it is recommended to use the external voltage sense capability of the AC Power
Source to minimize line losses1.
A block diagram of the DCR unit is shown in the gure below for reference.
Applications
The DCR is most practical for higher Voltage DC applications (100Vdc to 600Vdc) as these ranges are a better t for the 135V
or 270VAC voltage ranges of the AC power source. Lower voltage settings will generally provide only little DC output power
as the AC Power Source does not deliver higher current at lower voltages. Check the Voltage and Current rating chart of the
AC Power Source model you plan to use to drive the AC input side of the DCR unit.
Applications for DC testing are numerous and only a handful of typical examples are listed here.
• LED Lighting
• Power Conversion, Power Factor Correction
• DC Motors and Actuators
• DC Power Distribution in Avionics
DC Output Samples
The waveform capture screens shown below represent typical DC output voltages resulting from using the
DCR600-20 with a 345AMX AC Power Source. All data is taken using the recommended AC output parameters
of 400Hz, Square wave and FORM3 AC output mode.
AC Input and DC Output Waveforms
This scope screen image shows three phase square
wave from and the resulting DC Voltage and Current
waveforms into the load.

Note: No External DC Voltage Sense capability is provided so the distance between the DC load and the DCR unit should be kept to a minimum with suciently sized load wire gauge.
Programmed DC Voltage Ramp
This scope screen image shows the DV voltage ramping from
0Vdc to 270Vdc using a slew rate of 54Vdc/sec over a 5 second
period.
Programmed DC Voltage Dip
This scope screen image shows the result of a programmed
DC voltage drop to 0Vdc for 100 msec under light load conditions. The downward slope is caused by the RC constant of the
DCR600 output capacitance.

Typical Peak to Peak Voltage Ripple
This scope screen image shows a magnied vertical view of the
DC output voltage which illustrates the relatively low Vdc peak
to peak ripple present on the output.
Indirect Control of DC Power- Simple, Intuitive Operation
The UPC Controller part of the AMX Series of Program-
mable AC Power Sources. When used with the DCR unit, AC
voltage amplitudes are scaled to a DC voltage output. The
scaling factor depends on the number of AC output phases
(1 or 3) and the shape of the AC waveform selected.
For best results, a three phase output and Square waveform is
recommended.
Using the front panel keyboard and display, all controller
models provide for selection of power source output mode,
coupling, voltage, and frequency.
