Intelligent bipolar (4-quadrant) DC power supply that sources and sinks current with a built-in function generator. ±20 V to ±80 V models, 400 W.
The Kikusui PBZ is an intelligent bipolar (4-quadrant) DC power supply that both sources and sinks current and swings its output smoothly through zero into negative voltage. Supplied and supported locally by Hinco Instruments in Perth, WA.
True 4-quadrant, bipolar output
Operating continuously across all four quadrants, the PBZ is a fast bipolar source and an active load in one instrument. The range spans PBZ20-20 (±20 V / ±20 A) through PBZ40-10, PBZ60-6.7 and PBZ80-5, each rated at 400 W, and units combine in series or parallel for greater output.
Built-in function generator
An internal function/arbitrary generator superimposes AC or arbitrary waveforms on the DC output, making the PBZ ideal for ripple injection and transient/response testing without external signal sources. A high slew rate and wide bandwidth suit dynamic loads.
Typical applications
Battery and cell charge/discharge testing, motor, actuator and solenoid drive simulation, sensor and coil testing, and power-line ripple or transient injection.
