Ametek / Elgar 20V Mod. Master Power Module

The Ametek/Elgar 20V Mod. Master Power Module is a component designed for integration into larger power systems, specifically within the Elgar AT8000 series of programmable multi-output DC power systems. This module provides a stable 20V output and is part of a modular system that can accommodate various power supply and electronic load modules within a single mainframe. The AT8000 system allows for expansion to 16 channels across master and expansion chassis configurations.

**Technical Specifications**

* **System Compatibility:** Designed for use within the Elgar AT8000, AT8000A, and AT8000B programmable multi-output DC power systems.
* **Module Type:** DC Power Module.
* **Output Voltage:** Nominal 20V DC. Note: One source indicates a specific module variant as “-20V to +20VDC, 15A”.
* **Output Current:** One source specifies 15A for a particular module variant.
* **Power Output:** The AT8000 mainframe can house six power supply modules and/or electronic loads. Six 200W DC power supply modules can fit into one 5-1/4″ mainframe. When paralleled, power modules can deliver up to 1200W per chassis.
* **Control Modes:** Operates in constant voltage or constant current mode.
* **Linear Design:** DC modules employ a linear design for fast response time and low ripple.
* **Isolation:** Outputs are completely isolated.
* **Protection Features:**
* Overcurrent sensing.
* Overvoltage protection with SCR crowbar shutdown.
* Integrated output relay.
* Independent SCR crowbar for rapid grounding (discharge).
* **Readback Capability:** Voltage and current readings are available via the built-in test option, enhancing integration into ATE systems.
* **Remote Sensing:** Features remote sense terminals for precise voltage regulation at the load.
* **Output Relays:** Includes load isolation (confidence) relays. Polarity switching relays are optional.

**Interfaces**

* **Remote Control:** IEEE-488 GPIB interface for remote programming and control.
* **Local Control:** Front-panel keyboard for local operation.
* **Programming Standards:** Compatible with MATE & CIIL programmability.
* **Data Transfer:** Supports SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments) syntax, version 1995.0, for the broader Elgar ContinuousWave™ series.

**Physical**

* **Form Factor:** Designed as a plug-in module for the Elgar AT8000 mainframe chassis.
* **Chassis Configuration:** The AT8000 mainframe is a 5-1/4″ high, 19″ wide rackmount chassis.

**Compatibility**

* **System Integration:** The 20V Mod. Master Power Module is intended for use within Ametek/Elgar’s AT8000 series power systems, enabling multi-channel DC power delivery.
* **Expansion:** The system can be expanded to 16 independent channels in master/expansion chassis configurations, allowing for up to 19.2 kW in a multi-chassis setup.
* **Module Paralleling:** Power modules can be paralleled to increase output current or power capabilities.
