MX Series 15
1. Introduction
This instruction manual contains information on the installation, operation,
calibration, and maintenance of all power systems that use the MX Series power
sources with the programmable controller.
1.1 General Description
The MX Series AC and DC power source systems are high efficiency, floor standing
AC and DC power sources that provide a precise output with low distortion.
Available voltage ranges are 150 Vac, 300 Vac and an optional 400 Vac in AC mode
and 200 Vdc and 400 Vdc in DC mode.
A High voltage option, -333, provides 166 Vac, 333 Vac and an optional 400 ac in
AC mode and 220 Vdc and 440 Vdc in DC mode.
Output voltage options, such as the -333 option, allow testing of high voltage
480VAC L-L products at 120% of nominal as required by IEEE 1547 (Table 1)
“Interconnection system response to abnormal voltages”.
The MX22.5-3Pi, MX30-3Pi and MX45-3Pi can operate in either single or three-phase
mode. The MX22.5-3Pi, MX30 and MX45 are also available in just single or three-
phase mode. All multi cabinet models always operate in three-phase mode.
Models with a -1 or -3 designation provide full front panel operation but do not
include certain features such as arbitrary waveform generation unless added as an
option at the time of order. Models with the Pi controller offer several additional
standard features, including the RS232C, USB, LAN (option) and IEEE-488
interfaces, arbitrary waveform generation, dual voltage ranges and additional
measurement functions.
The MX Series units are contained in a compact floor standing enclosure on casters.
This allows the units to be moved around more easily.
Read the installation instructions carefully before attempting to install and operate
the MX Series power systems.
1.2 Manual Organization and Format
All user documentation for California Instruments power sources is provided on
CDROM in electronic format. (Adobe Portable Document Format) The required Adobe
PDF viewer is supplied on the same CDROM. This manual may be printed for
personal use if a hardcopy is desired. To request a hardcopy from AMETEK
Programmable Power, contact customer service at techsupport.ppd@ametek.com
.
There will be an additional charge for printed manuals.
This manual contains sections on installation, normal use, maintenance, and
calibration. If the MX system is equipped with a GPIB, RS232C, USB, or LAN
interface, refer to the MX Programming manual for information on using the remote-
