MTS-3000 Modular Test System Condensed Specifications

Control Module Power Supply

  • 105-130 VAC @ 15A, single phase, 47-63 Hz
  • 210-260 VAC @ 7.5A, single phase, 47-63 Hz (optional)

    The MTS-3030 Two Convertible Channels Module, MTS-3040 AC Voltage Module and MTS-3060 AC Current Module receive power from and are controlled by the MTS-3000 Control Module. The system will operate down to 90 VAC with reduced voltage and current outputs. For some configurations the 15A/7.5A rating may be exceeded if all outputs are at full power. Maximum voltage and current specifications are given for nominal 120/240 VAC input at 20° C ambient temperature. Ratings may be reduced with lower input voltage and higher ambient temperature.
