1.2 Safety Notice
The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation of this instrument. Failure to
comply with these precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in this manual violates safety standards of design,
manufacture, and intended use of the instrument. Neither Magna-Power Electronics nor any of the associated sales
organizations accept responsibility for personal injury, consequential injury, loss, or damage resulting from improper
use of the equipment and accessories.
Installation and service must be performed only by properly trained and qualified personnel who are aware of dealing
with electrical hazards. Ensure that the AC power line ground is properly connected to the MagnaDC power supply
chassis. Furthermore, other power grounds, including those connected to application maintenance equipment, must be
grounded for both personnel and equipment safety.
This product is a Safety Class 1 instrument, provided with a protective earth terminal. The protective features of this
product may be impaired if it is used in a manner not specified in the operation instructions.
Warning: Residiual voltage. Lethal voltages may be present inside the MagnaDC power supply even when the
AC input voltage is disconnected. Only properly trained and qualified personnel should remove covers and access
the inside of the MagnaDC power supply.
During normal operation, the operator does not have access to hazardous voltages within the product’s chassis. Depending on the application, high voltages hazardous to human safety may be present on the DC power terminals. Ensure
that the DC power cables are properly labeled as to the safety hazards and that any inadvertent contact with hazardous
voltages is eliminated.

PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
2.1 Features at a Glance
The TS Series offers many models spanning a wide voltage and current range, while still maintaining among the highest
power density rack-mount packaging. The TS Series covers voltages from 5 Vdc up to 6000 Vdc (floating) and current
levels from 1.2 Adc up to 8000 Adc. Models 5 kW to 15 kW are available in a 3U chassis, models 20 kW and 25 kW
are available in a 4U chassis, models 30 kW are available in a 6U chassis, models 40 kW and 50 kW are available in an
8U chassis with removable casters, models 75 kW models are available in a 12U chassis with removable casters, and
100 kW models are available in a 16U chassis with removable casters. In addition, there are several special low voltage
high current models, enabling a more cost-effective solution for these requirements. All TS Series power supplies come
standard with isolated 37-pin external I/O, RS232, Remote Interface Software, IVI drivers, and LabVIEW drivers for
integration into a variety of programming environment.

TS Series Documentation, Release 1
2.1.1 Output Features
• Robust Power Conversion Topology - All MagnaDC programmable DC power supplies utilize high-frequency
IGBT-based power processing in current-fed topology. This topology adds an additional stage over the conventional voltage-fed topology for enhanced control and systemprotection, ensuring that even under a fault condition,
the power supply will self-protect. Due to the self-protecting characteristics of this topology, the possibility of
fast rising current spikes and magnetic core saturation is elimated. Every power supply is tested at 90% to 125%
nominal line to ensure satisfactory operation even under the worst line voltage conditions.
• Fast Transient Response - Quick response to load changes, with 2 ms to recover within ±1% of regulated output
with a 50% to 100% or 100% to 50% step load change.
• Programmable Output Protection - Programmable over voltage trip (OVT) and over current trip (OCT) allow
the user to prog ram in soft latching fault trips when the threshold is exceeded. OVT and OCT settings can be
programmed from 10% to 110% of the unit’s max ratings.
• Wired Remote Sensing with Smart Detection - A set of remote sensing terminals are provided to sense voltage
at the load and compensate for voltage drop in the load cables. Compensation is provided up to 3% above the
unit’s max rated voltage.
• Leadless Remote Sensing - Using the product’s integrated modulation functionality, automatically compensate
for voltage as a function of current. When the impedance between the power supply and load is known, this
feature allows for remote sensing without leads, up to the max ratings of the product.
2.1.2 Programming Features
• High Accuracy Programming and Measurment - ± 0.075% of max rated voltage or current programming
accuracy to ensures the output is following the desired programmed set point. ± 0.2% of max rated voltage
or current readback accuracy ensures high accuracy measurements. A NIST traceable calibration certificate is
provided at no charge with all new units.
• Simultaneous Measurement Interfaces - Voltage and current measurements are available simultaneously from
the front panel meters, dedicated 0-10V analog output, and by computer command.
• SCPI Remote Programming API - Compatible with the Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments
(SCPI), allowing raw ASCII text commands to control all features, functions, and configurations of the product.
Commands are consistent across all available interfaces.
• 37-pin External User I/O Port - An isolated 37-pin external user I/O port is provided, which includes a vari-
ety of analog and digital inputs and outputs. Voltage, current, over voltage and over current set points can be
set by applying a 0-10V analog signal. Each diagnostic condition is given a designated pin, which reads +5V
when active. Reference +5V and +10V signals are provided, eliminating the need for external voltage signals
and allowing the use of dry contacts. All these pins are isolated from the output terminals and referenced to
earth-ground as standard—no additional isolation equipment or options necessary.
2.1.3 System Features
• AC Mechanical Contactor with In-rush Limiter - An integrated mechanical contactor on the AC input circuit
ensures the product is not processing power when in standby or fault. This contactor, coupled with step-start
in-rush limiter circuitry, ensures no in-rush current will exceed peak input current rating of the product.
• Designed for Safety - Extensive diagnostic functions are provided, including: AC phase loss (not on SL/XR Se-
ries), excessive thermal conditions, over voltage trip (programmable), over current trip (programmable), cleared
fuse (not on SL/XR Series), excessive program line voltage, and interlock fault. A dedicated +5V interlock input
pin and included +5V reference on all models, external emergency stop systems can be easily integrated using
an external contact.

TS Series Documentation, Release 1
• High-Performance Plug and Play Master-Slaving - Power capability can easily expanded with additional units
by using the plug and play UID47 master-slaving device. In the MagnaDC master-slave scheme, the master sends
gate drive signals directly to the slave units. This strategy eliminates the noise suceptibility commonly found
when sending analog control references over long distances, in addition to enabling consistent performance by
maintaining a single control loop.
• Tailor Performance with Integrated Options - A variety of configured-to-order options are available for Mag-
naDC programmable power supplies are designed to be flexible, depending on the application’s requirements.
• Designed and Manufactured in the USA - For complete control of quality, MagnaDC programmable DC power
supplies are designed and manufactured at Magna-Power’s vertically integrated USA manufacturing facility in
Flemington, New Jersey. Heat-sinks and chassis are machined from aluminum. All sheet metal is fabricated and
powder coated in-house. Magnetics are wound-to-order from validated designs based on a model’s voltage and
current. An automated surface-mount production line places components on printed circuit boards for control,
driver, auxiliary power, and display circuits. And finally after assembly, products undergo comprehensive test
and NIST-traceable calibration, followed by an extended burn-in period.
2.2 Models
The following tables list the available models in the TS Series MagnaDC power supply. Ripple is specified for standard
models. Ripple will be higher for models with the High Slew Rate Output (+HS). Low voltage, high current models
have a size size and input current rating that differ from the rated specifications for models within the same power level.
Efficiency is measured at the model’s maximum ratings.
