Primate Power® systems are rugged, compact, and efficient. They are versatile easy to use converters that will work for power electronics labs, industrial test stations, and more. The designs have:
- SiC based power converters that offer exceptional performance and flexibility
- Single converters ranging from 4 kW to 300 kW, and systems scaling up to 2.4 MW
- Operating ranges of 180 VAC to 750 VAC / 400 VDC to 1100 VDC
- A controller bandwidth that is improved with PWM frequencies of 50 kHz. Extended PWM frequencies to 100 kHz are available.
- 19” rackmount enclosures that enable a building block approach
- Available configurations: input converter optimized for AC or DC sources, DC to DC isolation, output converter can supply AC or DC and current or voltage
- Bi-directional power flow
- Modes that control motors, wind turbines, batteries, and solar cells
- Modes that create frequency changers, micro grids and grid tie systems
- Built-in display for simple operation, or communications and auxiliary connectors for advanced remote control operation
- An auxiliary connector with inputs that include a resolver, encoder, and hall inputs for controlling motors.
- Hardware inputs to control the outputs directly or use the unit as a power amplifier.
- Streaming CAN data for data logging
- Analog monitoring signals for converter currents
- The ability for the user to download a modified sine table to create harmonics, or to directly control the output waveform
- PID controls for voltage, frequency, and RPM
