7794: Up to 200 Ap/100 Vp, DC to 150 kHz, Three-Phase

7794 amplifier

The 7794 is a powerful four-quadrant amplifier that offers up to 200 Ap power, DC - 100 kHz bandwidth, and controlled-current or controlled-voltage modes of operation. The 7794 works best into loads of 0.5 ohms or less. For greater voltage or current (up

to 800 Ap) units can be combined in parallel or series.

Typically used when large currents are needed to drive very low impedances for long periods of time.  Often used as a battery substitute for transient immunity testing requiring a battery as specified in EMC Test Standards for military, aviation and the automotive industries.

7794

Industrial amplifier for high current/low impedance operation

  • Stable when driving a wide range of resistive, inductive or capacitive loads
  • Field-selectable controlled-voltage or controlled-current operation
  • Can be switched between rail supply modes to optimize for various load impedances
  • Protection circuits guard against over/under voltage, over current, over temperature, and circulating ground currents

Key Performance Capabilities:

  • 60A continuous at 13.8V DC
  • 200A in-rush current capability
  • 150 kHz small signal bandwidth
  • ±95V DC capable
  • >35 V/µs slew rate
  • Four-quadrant operation (source and sink)

Output

AC Output

Note: Testing performed at 208V/415V AC into resistive loads as specified. 7794 accuracy was measured when driven into a 10 ohm load with between 0.1VDC and 6VDC or between 0.2V AC and 5V AC presented at its inputs. Performance reported is typical into the specified load up to 20 kHz frequency levels. Above 20 kHz, slew rate may affect performance, reducing maximum voltage, current and power output. 7794 amplifiers can operate from 400V AC ±10%. Since these amplifiers have an unregulated power supply, low line conditions may slightly affect the maximum voltage potential.

Performance

Note: Testing performed at 208V/415V AC. 7794 amplifiers can operate from 400V AC ±10%. Since these amplifiers have an unregulated power supply, low line conditions may slightly affect the maximum voltage potential. All testing was performed in Controlled-Voltage (CV) mode. Accuracy was measured when driven into a 10-ohm load with between 0.1V DC and 6V DC or between 0.2V AC and 5V AC presented at its inputs.
