Application
The POWERTEST® 535 is a fully configured, mid-range DC power supply
test system. It is specifically targeted for cost-efficient testing
of AC-DC supplies up to 1200W and 8 outputs. For example, the 535 is
ideally suited for ATX power supply test applications. For power supplies
within its capability, the 535 Power Supply Tester delivers fast test
speeds, low cost of ownership and an established track record of exceptional
reliability.
A Fully-Configured DC Power Supply Test System
In order to provide the capability to perform all standard functional
tests on typical mid-range power supplies, the 535 includes 8 DC electronic
loads totaling 1200 W, a 2.4 kVA programmable AC power source, over-voltage
DC supply, full measurement instrumentation, digital logic inputs/outputs
and general-purpose relays. This unique approach of a fully configured
DC power supply tester allows significant cost and integration advantages
over custom configured systems, particularly those comprised of an assortment
of GPIB-controlled, single-function instruments.
A Simplified System Design
A very high degree of integration is achieved from utilizing only task-essential
portions of all power stimulus and measurement instruments. This results
in a compact, minimum-parts tester that internally looks more like a
single instrument than a collection of separate instruments. Eliminated
are the cost, rack space and reliability compromises from redundant
front panels, displays, switches, connectors, power supplies and fans.
Fast Test Execution Times
Because of the high level of integration, the 535 Power Supply Tester
eliminates most of the communication overhead that burdens traditional
GPIB-based power supply test equipment. This allows testing to be executed
at faster speeds, thereby lowering power supply cost-of-test to an absolute
minimum.
