The Cinergia GE+ vAC/DC series comprises 13 models from 7.5 kW to 160 kW and offers "Same Power in AC and DC". Each device can freely specify grid characteristics such as voltage, frequency, phase angle and (inter)harmonics up to the 50th order per phase; THDi on the grid side < 3 % at cos φ > 0.98 ensures a clean feed-in. The 30 kHz control loop and extensive interference profiles (including IEC 61000-4-11/-13/-14/-28, LVRT, SEMI-F47) enable reproducible tests. Applications range from electromobility & charging infrastructure to energy storage, PV/PV emulation, smart grids and power HiL.
- Generation of global grids: 3-phase/1-phase/split-phase, independent phase parameters incl. harmonics & ramps.
- Disturbance & standard tests: Dips, flicker, frequency jumps, (inter-)harmonics; editor & ready-made IEC profiles (pre-compliance).
- DC multichannel: Up to three independent bidirectional DC channels (common ground), CV/CC/CP/CR modes, battery test/emulation & PV emulation optional.
- Regenerative & parallelizable: regenerative for energy recovery; master/slave via LWL for power/voltage increase.

Variant in focus: GE+ 60 vAC/DC
The GE+ 60 vAC/DC model offers a rated power of 54 kW and is the most powerful variant within the compact housing series. It combines the highest output currents with precise, fast control and a fully regenerative architecture - ideal for demanding tests on high-performance drives, charging infrastructure or large battery systems. In AC mode, the device delivers up to 87 A (3-channel) or 261 A (1-channel). In DC mode, ±87 A (3-channel) and ±261 A (1-channel) are available. Thanks to its dynamics, programmability and robust regenerative capability, the GE+ 60 vAC/DC is particularly suitable for continuous power test benches, development centers and industrial validation applications.
Comparison with the other models in the series
- Power/scaling: At 54 kW, the GE+ 60 vAC/DC offers the highest power within the compact series, before the larger 80 kW and 100 kW models follow in an extended control cabinet format. Ideal for tests with realistic load profiles and continuous operation.
- Currents: The currents of 87/261 A (AC) or ±87/±261 A (DC) allow extensive simulations and tests of high-current systems such as fast charging systems or DC distribution grids.
- Design: Robust compact housing (approx. 770 × 450 × 1100 mm at ~200 kg) with increased thermal load capacity and efficient cooling system - designed for continuous operation under full load.
- Functionality: All control and software functions of the series are included - including freely programmable test sequences, grid simulation, (inter)harmonics and LVRT profiles. Optionally available with PV and battery emulation.
