APS-3000P Series 2 - 2 OM-001-03000-00P-03.9
Introduction
APS-3000P Power Converters are rugged versatile workhorses. The intended location
for APS-3000P units is the test floor, not a laboratory workbench. The smallest unit,
the APS-3003P, weights 305 lbs. The largest unit, the APS-3180P, weighs around 4000
lbs. Users can select from several modes of operation:
full-manual operation
manually programmed operation
remote PLC operation
remotely programmed serial data operation (RS-232 option)
remotely programmed parallel data operation (GPIB option)
combinations of these operational modes
In keeping with their workhorse nature, all APS-3000P units feature a 200% start-up
surge-current capability. The ability to source initial surge currents prevents the
programmed over-current protection from disabling a test.
