C POWER for test bay applications

Stability, network quality, precision, overload capacity and reliability are the qualities that are particularly required of the rotary C POWER converter systems in the power supply of electrical test bays. To securely and smoothly operate complex systems, the optimum, simple and clear visualisation on a PC or touchscreen has already proved its worth many times over.
 

C POWER COUPLED

Coupled systems are recommended for maximum power and special and medium voltages, or electrical test bays in particular. If required, the engine and the alternator can be given resilient mountings in the form of vibration dampers.

Technical highlights

The C POWER stands out thanks to its robustness, longevity, optimised level of efficiency and, finally, thanks to the customised application for the customer.
Low maintenance and extremely easy servicing and operation complete the profile of a unit that has been successfully established on the market for decades. We guarantee you optimum and reliable power for special applications.

Arduous test bay conditions
Thanks to a tailored design, calculation, production and testing, C POWER delivers the specified power reliably, without limitation, anytime.

Service life >25 years – unrivalled reliabilityWith proven and robust engineering, the C POWER offers troublefree intensive and unlimited use for more than 25 years.

Reliability: MTBF >50,000 hours

Increased efficiency
Thanks to the high efficiency of the engine and alternator, test specimens can be supplied as economically as possible with minimal losses.

Maximum serviceability
The modular arrangement of the switchgear simplifies all service work.

Safe operation
Comprehensive protection and monitoring by microprocessor controller.

Simplified user operation
The touchpanel of the control station offers intuitive user navigation. Easy to read even in strong sunlight, it is also dust- and water-tight and suitable for use in the most adverse conditions. The resistive touchscreen is straightforward to use even when gloves are worn. A fault recorder logs all events.
