Specifications
Overview
Chapter 2 summarizes the capabilities and general features of the APS-1000 family of
Power Converters. Functional capabilities are similar for all units. APS units convert
fixed line voltage at a fixed frequency to user-selected 1-phase output voltages and
frequencies. The primary differences between units are size, weight, type of external
data interface, and specific power handling capability. All units provide built-in PLC
remote control for three program memories.
The Displays and Controls Table in this section provides summary information about
the programmable memories and external control. More detailed information about
external interface control is found in Chapter 5.
This Chapter includes five summary tables and a surge-current performance graph. The
tables summarize different capabilities and features of APS-1000 Power Converters.
The graph illustrates over-current (start-up surge-current) capabilities.
Introduction
APS-1000 Power Converters are rugged versatile workhorses. The intended location
for APS-1000 units is the test floor, not a laboratory workbench. The smallest unit, the
APS-1002, weights 177 lbs. The largest unit, the APS-1060, weighs 1960 lbs. Users
can select from several modes of operation:
full-manual operation
manually programmed operation
remote PLC operation
