9100 Series Amplifiers

9100 Series: 5 kW to 30 kW (up to 60 kVA), up to 150A continuous, single-phase

AE Techron’s 9100 Series amplifiers are 200Vp, DC-to-250 kHz capable amplifiers that offer a unique combination of switch-mode efficiency and linear-amplifier-like fidelity in a single, compact package. They are able to drive virtually any type of load without a reduction in rated power, with low distortion and low DC drift. They are also fast enough to meet 5µs surge and dropout requirements.

The 9100 series is a powerful and flexible partner when the environment is difficult or existing AC Mains options are limited. It is able to be powered from any normal single-phase AC mains voltage (100VAC — 250VAC). It is power-efficient, producing up to 2,000 watts output from a 20A, 120V AC mains supply, and up to 5 kW* from 230V or 240V sources.

This combination of features makes the 9100 series an ideal solution for a wide range of high-current, low-voltage applications that require both DC power and quick surges or drop-outs, like those found in conducted immunity testing of DC-powered systems in the automotive and aviation markets.

*9105 output is 4.5 kW from 230V or 240V sources; output for all other models is 5 kW.
