7796HC: Up to 200 Ap Inrush Current, DC to 100+ kHz, Three-Phase

7796HC amplifier

The 7796HC power amplifier offers up to 85 Ap continuous at 13.5 VDC, DC - 250 kHz small-signal bandwidth, and controlled-current or controlled-voltage modes of operation. The 7796HC can be used to simulate ripple noise, drop outs, surges and

ground shift noise as required by a variety of standards for DC-powered electronics in the aviation and automotive industries.

A single 7796HC makes a very good choice for 13.5V DC-based power susceptibility test standards for high-current-draw EUTs (up to 85A).With configurations capable of up to 600Ap and the ability to both source and sink, the 7796HC is your best solution for high-current DC Conducted Immunity testing.

7796HC

Precision, DC-enabled linear power amplifier with up to 200 Ap current

  • Stable when driving a wide range of resistive, inductive or capacitive loads
  • Field-selectable controlled-voltage or controlled-current operation
  • Can be switched between rail supply modes to optimize for various load impedances
  • Protection circuits guard against over/under voltage, over current, over temperature, and circulating ground currents

Key Performance Capabilities:

  • Up to 85A continuous at 13.5V DC; 70A at 28V DC
  • Up to 200A in-rush current capability
  • Stable when driving highly capacitive loads
  • ±80V DC capable
  • >35 V/µs slew rate
  • Four-quadrant operation (source and sink)
  • 208 VAC version ONLY; 400 VAC version not available

Output

AC Output

Note: Testing performed at 208V AC into resistive loads as specified. 7796HC accuracy was measured when driven into a 10-ohm load with between 0.1V DC and 6V DC or between 0.2V AC and 5V AC presented at its inputs. Performance reported is typical into the specified load up to 20 kHz frequency levels. Performance may be affected when operating into highly reactive loads or above 20 kHz, reducing maximum voltage, current and power output. 7796HC amplifiers can operate from 208V AC ±10%. Since these amplifiers have an unregulated power supply, low line conditions may slightly affect the maximum voltage potential.

Performance

Note: Testing performed at 208V AC into resistive loads as specified. 7796HC accuracy was measured when driven into a 10 ohm load with between 0.1V DC and 6V DC or between 0.2V AC and 5V AC presented at its inputs. Performance reported is typical into the specified load up to 20 kHz frequency levels. Performance may be affected when operating into highly reactive loads or above 20 kHz, reducing maximum voltage, current and power output. 7794HC amplifiers can operate from 208V AC ±10%. Since these amplifiers have an unregulated power supply, low line conditions may slightly affect the maximum voltage potential.
