2.1.3 Load Simulation Mode (Option)
In the load simulation mode the TC.ACS device simulates loads and their properties within specified RLC-circuit
topologies.
2.1.4 4-Quadrant Operation
The TC.ACS supports the feeding mode and the regenerative mode as a part of 4-Quadrant operation modes.
Here the sign of the power determines the direction of the energy flow, and hence whether
Regenerative Mode (negative Power)
Alternating grids change between feeding mode and regenerative mode according to their reactive power by
phase shifting between voltage and current.
2.1.4.1 Feeding Mode (positive Power)
In the feeding mode energy flows from the line to the device under test (DUT):
2.1.4.2 Regenerative Mode (negative Power)
In the regenerative mode energy flows from the device under test (DUT) to the line:
2.2 Control Interface
The TC.ACS device can be operated via a PC with the software ACSControl, exclusively.
The load simulation mode is an optional feature. It needs to be enabled via key code and an
external hardware filter may be needed in some applications (see Application Notes). Contact
Regatron Customer Support, if necessary.
The software ACSControl is included in the scope of delivery.
