The High Power Active Load (HPAL) and the Low Power Active Load (LPAL) of the ReFlex Power (RFP) system include models rated at 750 W and 350 W. They are part of a modular family of power assets that integrate into the RFP Mainframe to provide a wide range of features, functionality, and extensive configurability and adaptability.
The 500V provide an exceptlional range of operation. They can be set up to operate as standalone assets, or in combinations of parallel groups to extend their current, and power ratings up to as high as 180 A and nearly 4000W in a single mainframe.
The DB-9 connector on the front panel of each module provides Remote Inhibit (RI). This allows the user to turn on / off individual modules with a hardware interface. This function enhances safety and ease of integration. Remote analog programming is also available, allowing the user to modulate the load with a hardware line.
The modules utilize FET active current sinks in modular form to get the flexibility of the two power ranges. The 375 W module is housed in a triple-width enclosure, and weighs 8.2 lb. The 750 W module is also triple-width, and weighs 12.9 lb.
Two modes of operation are available. Current mode up to 30A and resistive mode, programmable 0 to 5000 ohms in three ranges. In addition, each Active Load can be controlled independently with an analog signal to control or modulate the output with an external signal.
An advanced thermal design features integral, variable speed fans. Cooling performance scales based upon the complement of modules in the Mainframe and their output loading. This feature conserves energy, minimizes audible noise and enhances system reliability.
