All models can be operated in constant current, voltage, power, and resistance modes. The adjustable internal resistance make this range ideal for automotive simulation as well as general laboratory and production work.  

A PV operation mode is also provided as standard. This enables a photovoltaic generator's MPP tracking to be simulated. The MPP is available in both voltage and current modes.

A three phase AC input cable is provided for all units.

Front Panel HMI

A large front panel display is provided which indicates all relevant output quantities simultaneously. Output values can be preset and read prior to releasing the output.

Remote Control Interfaces

Each unit has RS-232, LAN and isolated analogue interfaces with switchable ranging for remote control.

USB Port

A front panel USB port is provided with each LAB-HP. This is a useful feature to enable the power system to follow pre-determined voltage and current curves. Data is programmed on a PC using text or .WAV formats. It can then be simply transferred to a USB drive and recalled from the front panel of the LAB-HP.

The USB drive can also be used for data logging. Output values can be recorded at intervals of 1s to 71 minutes. The front panel display indicates when the unit is logging data and will alert the user when the USB drive is becomes full.

Operating software is available with each LAB-HP for control and monitoring. Live values of the power systems can be viewed remotely in a simple and intuitive way. This is particularly useful when operating the power supply in a location that is remote to the DUT.

Voltage, current, power and resistance values can all be controlled through the GUI. A test sequence function allows for more complex DC waveforms to be implemented directly through the software.

A specialised PV simulation feature is also provided as part of the software. This allows the power system to simulate a generator’s MPP tracking in both current and voltage modes. The software contains many pre-loaded solar panels from different manufacturers.

Each unit features a soft interlock circuit which allows users to connect the unit to an external safety device, such as a process stop. This feature requires a high signal (+10V) to be present between two pins, otherwise the output will be shutdown.

Each LAB-HP system is supplied in its own wheeled flight case for ease of transport.

If you are looking to purchase a system, new LAB-HP units can be found in our DC sources range.
