Product Functions

  • Various output waveforms
    • EC Series support various power tests using sequence and arbitrary waveform such as instantaneous power failure for 1-cycle, instantaneous power failure for phase of 0° to 90°, instantaneous power failure including phase continuity and discontinuity, harmonic current wave and half-wave rectification (See photo section)
  • Maximum output peak current
    • A peak current up to four times as large as the maximum current (RMS values) can be output at the rated output voltage. The EC Series also supports capacitor input load (up to crest factor 4)
  • Limiter function
    • Output current limits can be set with positive/negative values and RMS values. In the evaluation of a prototype, this function is useful for protection when an abnormal current is caused by abnormal operation of the load
  • Protection function
    • The EC Series have a built-in function for protecting the power source itself if a problem occurs due to issues such as output overvoltage or overcurrent, power unit trouble, internal control problems. If a problem occurs, it is displayed on the panel and output is turned off
  • Measurement function
    • The EC Series are equipped with high accuracy measurement functions for measuring synchronization frequencies, load power factors and even the harmonic currents, in addition to the voltage, current and output power. Setting values and measurement values are simultaneously displayed on large-screen display (See photo section)
    • Parameters to be measured
      • Output voltage (effective, DC average, and peak values)
      • Output current (effective value, DC average value, peak value, and peak value hold)
      • Output power (active, apparent, and reactive power)
      • Frequency (at external synchronization)
      • Load power factor
      • Load crest factor (CF)
      • Output harmonic current (fundamental wave: 50/60 Hz, up to the 40th order)
  • Sequence function
    • Programming of various test patterns such as test repetition, combinations of complex test condition and long-term testing enable automated test sequences. Power source tests for each export destination can be performed efficiently (See photo section)
    • Overview of sequence function (See photo section)
