HIGH POWER GSP MODELS
TDK CORPORATION
10KW AND 15KW MODELS EXTEND NEXT GENERATION
SERIES OF PROGRAMMABLE DC POWER SUPPLIES
TDK Corporation (TSE 6762) announces the
introduction of high power GSP models
to the TDKLambda GENESYS+™ series of
programmable DC power supplies. This
expansion now provides 2U high 10kW
and 3U high 15kW versions with output
voltages and currents of up to 010V/1,500A
to 0-600V/25.5A. The GENESYS+™ series
addresses a very broad market, including
component, aerospace and automotive
testing, semiconductor fabrication, water
treatment, plating and solar array simulation. current slew rate control. The provision of
two user programmable output open drain
control pins can be used to activate external
devices like load disconnect relays.
Utilising DSP (Digital Signal Processing)
technology, these next-generation units
provide improved efficiency, performance
and functionality over existing products,
with efficiencies of up to 92%. The 20 new
high power models can be programmed to
operate in constant voltage, constant current
or constant power modes and also offer
the ability to simulate an internal resistance
for battery charging and long output cable
voltage drop applications. The units are
available for use with three phase 170 to
265Vac, 342 to 460Vac or 342 to 528Vac
inputs. All functions can be programmed via the
front panel or remotely using the LAN (LXI
1.5), USB 2.0 or RS232/485 communications
interfaces, which are provided as standard
(SCPI compliant). An isolated analogue
control and monitoring interface (0-5 or
0-10V scale) is also included. The product
design includes options for GPIB (IEEE488.2)
and the Anybus CompactCom interface
platform for DeviceNet™, EtherCat, Modbus,
PROFIBUS and other interface options as
they are released. A full package of software
drivers, a waveform creator and a virtual
front panel GUI are provided in the software
package.
All GENESYS+™ models feature an easy to
read LCD display with user controllable
brightness and dimming functions for
extended life. Additionally, they include
faster up and down programming response
times with user adjustable voltage and

Arbitrary waveform profiles, such as car
battery simulation at vehicle start up, of up
to 100 steps can be generated and stored in
four memory cells. These can be activated by
commands from the communication ports or
the front panel controls, allowing the user to
quickly switch between programs.
Safety features include Safe/Auto Re-
Start, Last Setting Memory and built-in
protective functions. With Safe-Start
configured, the power supply will return to
its last operational settings after a power
interruption but with the output disabled
for laser applications. With Auto Re-Start,
the power supply returns to the last used
operation settings after a power interruption
where no user intervention is preferred. Last
Setting Memory retains settings such as the
output voltage/current, output on/off, OVP/
UVL level, Fold-Back and Start-Up mode at
each AC input turn-off sequence, even after
extended periods of storage or nonuse.
Built-in protective functions include over
voltage protection (OVP), under voltage limit
(UVL), fold-back protection (FOLD) and over-
temperature protection (OTP).
The five-year warranty series is safety
certified to IEC/EN/UL 60950-1, CE marked to
the Low Voltage, EMC and RoHS2 Directives
and conforms to the industrial IEC/EN 613261
standard for conducted EMI, radiated EMI
and EMC immunity.
