The PHU series from GW Instek is a powerful solution for modern DC test and simulation environments. Based on efficient SiC power semiconductor technology, it combines high power density with a multi-range output, allowing various voltage and current requirements to be flexibly covered. Thanks to the integrated web interface and numerous communication options, the series is ideally suited for use in laboratories, test benches and industrial automation systems.
General features of the series:
- Multi-range output: One device for a wide range of current/voltage combinations - efficient and space-saving.
- Advanced Web Server (AWS): Control directly via the browser - no software installation required.
- Adaptive Parallel Connection (APC): Up to 10 devices can be combined for complete systems with up to 150 kW.
- Versatile interfaces: LAN, USB (type A/B), EtherCAT, CANopen, Modbus, Profinet, DeviceNet.
- Integrated functions: CV/CC priority, bleeder switching, slew rate control, panel lock and programmable resistor simulation.
The PHU 1500-20-D model offers 30 kW output power at a maximum output voltage of 1,500 VDC and a maximum current of 20 A. It is ideal for applications with high voltage and medium current requirements, such as those frequently found in high-voltage technology and power electronics. Possible areas of application include:
- Testing components for DC high-voltage networks up to 1.500 V
- Development and simulation of PV inverters for large commercial systems
