PBZ
5
The PBZ is a high-voltage, large-current, fast-response,
bipolar power supply. It supports four-quadrant operation,
which means that it can source and sink both positive and
negative voltages and currents. The internal AC signal or an
external signal can be superimposed on the DC output. You
can use the sequence feature to generate test signals for
automotive and other electronic devices. Additionally, the PBZ
can be used with a variety of loads to perform tests such as
motor endurance tests, solenoid operation tests, and capacitor
ripple tests.
Bipolar/unipolar mode
• In bipolar mode, the PBZ operates as a bipolar power
supply.
• In unipolar mode, the PBZ operates as a power supply that
generates positive voltage and positive and negative
(source and sink) current.
Highly advanced, high speed signal
generation
• The PBZ’s frequency range is from DC to 100 kHz (in CV
mode).
• The waveforms that the PBZ can generate using its internal
signal source are sine, triangle, and square waveforms, and
16 user-defined arbitrary waveforms.
Soft start and soft stop
• The PBZ can increase the output over the specified time
when output is turned on and decrease the output over the
specified time when output is turned off. The output
smoothly rises across the capacitive or inductive load.
Protection features
• The PBZ is equipped with overvoltage and overcurrent
protection features. It also has protection features that turn
the output off, turn the POWER switch off, and limit the
output.
Preset memory
• You can save and load up to three sets of settings in CV
mode and in CC mode.
• It is convenient to save signals that you use frequently and
then load them at a later time to switch signals.
Sequence feature
• This feature automatically executes output patterns that you
have edited as programs.
• You can easily create output patterns by using the program
editing feature.
Synchronization feature
• You can synchronize multiple units so that their output turns
on or off at the same time, or so that sequences are
executed at the same time.
Parallel operation
• You can operate from two units to five units in parallel.
A variety of remote interfaces
• RS232C, GPIB, and USB interfaces are included as
standard. A LAN interface can be included as a factory
option.
A wide range of applications
• Voltage variation tests for 12 V and 24 V automotive
electronic devices
• Motor endurance and polarity switching tests
• Solenoid operation tests
• Capacitor ripple tests
• LCD inverter evaluation tests
• Medical instrument tests
• Power supply for Helmholtz coils
• Power supply for particle accelerators
• Constant current power supply for plating
