Ametek California Instruments SQ0045 for Rent, SEQUOIA Programmable Regenerative Grid Simulator, 45kVA, 1-3 Phase

Product Highlights

The California Instruments SQ0045 Programmable Regenerative Grid Simulator combines intelligence and flexibility with high power to create an advanced platform of AC solutions. Using a state-ofthe-art SiC power switching architecture, this full four-quadrant product combines compactness, robustness, and functionality in a floor-standing chassis. With the add-on electronic load option, the California Instruments SQ0045 can support additional advanced renewable energy simulation and test requirements. It can be operated completely from its menu driven front panel controller. The full color-touch display shows menus, setup data, and read-back measurements. With standard RS232C, USB, and LAN, along with optional IEEE-488 remote control interfaces, allow programming of all instrument functions from an external computer. The popular SCPI command protocol is used for programming.

With flexibility offered by the California Instruments SQ0045, it is now possible that a single solution can support a wide variety of roles within your test setup, including AC/DC Programmable Power source, AC/DC Grid Simulator, or AC/DC Resistive or Complex Electronic load. The Sequoia can uniquely act as an ideal grid, regenerating current from PV Inverters, Wind Turbines etc., with nearly complete power recovery. With seamless switchover between source and sink mode or its ability to program parallel RLC, the Sequoia can emulate the test conditions mandated by international standards like IEC 61727 and IEC 62116. The California Instruments SQ0045 grid simulator mode can help simulate various grid conditions from strong grid to weak grid, its electronic load mode can help emulate an EV's On-Board battery charger load. With 85% of power recovery efficiency, it not only helps by saving electricity, but also minimizing heat emissions inside the lab.
