AC Power Supply EPO series




The EPO series is a line of epoch-making power supplies, using new method of power amplifier unit.
They provide high efficiency (approx. 76%) unimaginable with previous products, while being even more light weight and compact. These epoch-making AC/DC power supplies feature even further improvements to standard features such as the flexibility, high output stability , and powerful supplies of electric power that NF power supplies are known for.

System upgrading, Phase mode selectable

The EPO series is divided into 3 systems according to phase and respond to a variety of uses.

Boosting Rated Power and Phase Mode Selectable Output (single phase/three phase/single phase three wire) with the EPO2000X .
The Single phase 2kVA is our basic unit. It can be used as a master or a booster. You can link up to three units of the same model and the EPO2000X allows phase mode selectable output, making it easy to build a 4kVA single phase/single phase three wire system with two units or a 6kVA single phase/three phase system with three units. The EPO2000X is a flexible unit that can accommodate the refabrication common on production lines.

Single Phase Systems
This line-up includes 2kVA-12kVA systems. The 4kVA unit comes in M-sized (787.5mm tall) and 8kVA-12kVA units come in L-sized (1,365.5mm tall), all in slim cabinet styles.
Phase Mode Selectable Systems
This line-up includes 6kVA-36kVA systems. These products can be used in every mode; single phase, three phase, and single phase three wire. They come loaded with functions not to missed by those who want to use them in various ways as a single power supply. Each system is housed in a sleek, well-organized cabinet.
High efficiency with low input current

76% power efficiency, reducing running costs

Achieves 76% power efficiency. Plus, we've reduced input current to a mere 14A (at 200V) and even further reduced harmonics current. Suppresses futile power consumption and heat generation, and contributes to business cost reductions.

Maximum output peak current

Maximum peak current up to four times of the rated value

The capacitor input type rectifier loads used by many electronic devices tend to consume large current in pulses, as shown in the illustration below. For this reason, you need an AC power supply capable of supplying large current instantaneously. The EPO series can put out up to four times the rated value (rms) maximum peak current.

Stabilization and improvement of waveform
Instantaneous voltage stop Input voltage waveform distortion
0V, 1 wavelength (20rms),rated load distortion rate 3.6%, rated load

stable output and low distortion of waveform

The EPO series improves a voltage of various power line environment. And also increases withstanding level of a discontinuance, a distortion and an instantaneous voltage drop of line voltage.

In Rush Current
Current waveform at the start-up of motors

to increase output capacity at the start-up of motors

For each unit's 20 Arms maximum output current, the unit can supply up to 2.8 times 57 Arms (80 Apeak) of in rush current. The EPO series addresses the need for power supplies with large rated output current for handling large loads of in rush current, such as during motor start-up. With the EPO series, you no longer need to put extra money in the budget just for system startups (to increase output capacity).

Function

Output Voltage and Output Frequency
Equipped for a wide range of output voltages and output frequencies.

Wide range of output voltage and frequency can offer versatile applications such as frequency converter for domestic,voltage change for overseas equipment, and also to testing aircraft and vessel's appliance, etc.

Output Voltage Range Resolution
100V range : 0V to 150.0V 0.1V
200V range : 0V to 300.0V 0.1V
In three phase and single phase three wire modes, settings can be made by phase voltage or line voltage(resolution 0.2V).
Output Frequency Range Resolution
5.0Hz to 550.0Hz 0.1V

DC Output
Appropriate for DC/DC converter testing

Permits 0V to +424V output voltage(0.1V resolution), +9A maximum current (at 2kVA), and 900VA maximum power (at 2kVA) DC output. A single unit can be used as an AC power supply or as a DC power supply.

Output current during low power factor load
High stability mode secures the performance of L, C load

Load power factor is guaranteed at 0-1 (lead, delay). Provides 100% rated current even during power factor 0, so there's no problem running fluorescent lights, switching regulator, and so forth.

Measurement Function
Free from external measuring instruments

AC Voltage(rms, peak), Current(rms, peak), Effective power, Voltampere, Power factor, Peak current holding *Phase voltage an line voltage can be displayed in three phase mode and single phase three wire mode.
DC Voltage, Current, Electrical power, peak curent holding

Failure Diagnosis Function

These power supplies conduct their own failure diagnoses checks during power start-up. If a problem is detected during start-up, a warning message is displayed and the flow of electricity to main electrical parts is cut off to prevent the problem from spreading.

Protection function

Built-in 7 system protection function safeguards load and power supply from such problems as output short circuits, over current ambient temperature rises, and line voltage drops. Momentarily limits output in the case of temporary over current, etc. Automatically recover to normal output after the problem has been corrected.

Memory function

This function can memorize (store) and easily recall 10 panels of setting status such as output voltage, frequency, etc. And also it can recall quickly frequent used setting through preset keys.

External Ten-Key Input
Easy and convenient for setting change and inspection work

By connecting the ten-key pad to the front panel, you can input numeric values through a ten-key pad as well as by the dial. It can also be used as a "Recall panel" for recalling settings programmed in memory, making it convenient for inspection operations on production lines and so forth. *Ten-Key pad optional.

Plus :
Line synchronization output Provides AC output which is synchronized power supply line frequency by line synchronization output function
Limiter function Maximum output voltages as well as maximum and minimum frequencies can be preset with the limiter function.
Start phase setting function Start phase at Output ON can be set to 90˘X units through input phase setting function. Comes in handy when evaluating in rush current on equipment under test.
Key lock function Equipped with key lock functions which allow you to nullify panel key operation
Buzzer Warning buzzer notifies you of erroneous operation and overload protection status.
