APL-II

Power, and Load.
Regenerative Hybrid

Single Unit Serving Two Purposes with Remarkable Functions

APL-II integrates the functions of a DC power supply and a regenerative electronic load into a single unit, thus offering space and cost savings as well as increased work efficiency.

Space Saving

The use of a current type inverter switching circuit and the high frequency isolation method makes APL-II a compact, space-saving product.

Auto Switch between Power Running and Regeneration

APL-II can switch between the DC power supply function and the electronic load function without the need to change the existing wiring connection. When used as a power supply for a motor-driving inverter, APL-II automatically absorbs the energy from motor operation and returns the absorbed energy to the AC power system.

Functions

Bidirectional power supply function

APL-II works as a DC power supply when it provides power to a load (during power running). When absorbing the power generated by the load (during regeneration), it serves as a regenerative electronic load that returns the absorbed power to the AC power system.

Support of different operating modes

One of four operating modes can be set based on the load condition.

Expandable power supply capacity

Up to four APL-II units can be connected in parallel (master-slave operation) to provide a range of power from −200 A to +200 A.

Customization using optional software

Various functions of APL-II can be extended by adding optional software.

Compact Body Supporting Four Operating Modes

APL-II allows you to set one of the four operating modes⎯Constant Voltage (CV), Constant Current (CC), Constant Resistance (CR) and Constant Power (CP)⎯as appropriate for your purpose.

Parallel Connection

You can connect up to four APL-II units in parallel, including the master unit. This allows you to adjust the current capacity of the power supply, as appropriate for your purpose, and provide the adjusted power.
