TDK-Lambda: new power supplies to address EV and hydrogen production applications
TDK Corporation announced the introduction of 50V, 400V and 500V output models to the TDK-Lambda GENESYS+ series of programmable DC power supplies.
With output power levels of 5kW, 10kW and 15kW in 1U, 2U and 3U high 19” rack-mount packages, the new G50, G400, G500, GSP50, GSP400 and GSP500 models are fully compatible with the current series.
The additional models are targeted at testing electric vehicle (EV) powertrains and other automotive sub-systems, and proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysers for hydrogen production. These optimised output voltages enable the power supplies to deliver more current without needing to parallel two or more units.
All models seamlessly transition between constant voltage and constant current modes and also have constant power operation. For higher power systems, multiple power supplies can be connected in parallel with a patented advanced master/slave system that provides dynamic load response and ripple and noise characteristics comparable with that of a single power supply.
The new GENESYS+ products can be ordered with three phase input ranges of 170-264Vac, 342-460Vac or 342-528Vac.
