Power supplies suit renewable energy applications

Pioneer Magnetics introduces the PM33216B, a new breed of programmable 15 to 70 V PFC power supplies providing full output power up to 6 KW with single or three phase ac input from 180 to 264 Vac or three phase ac input to 365 to 528 Vac. The output voltage and current are linearly programmable from 5% to 100% via an external analog input from 0 to 5 or 10 V. Designed to support both standalone and parallel configurations, these models are configured both in standard non-plug and hot plug I/O interface.

The 5 X 5 in. units have internal forced air cooling and built-in protection from electrical overloads. Dozens of standard options are available including variable speed fan control. Custom options are also available. Because of the programming flexibility, these new power supplies are being used in many renewable energy applications such as solar, wind, fuel cell, and flywheel applications.
