Highlights
Test Satellite Power Systems Under Various Conditions
Solar panels consisting of multiple solar cells provide power to satellites. They have unique I-V characteristics. The output power varies with environmental conditions (e.g., temperature, irradiation) and operational conditions (e.g., eclipse, spin). A specialized power supply, such as the solar array simulator (SAS), generates accurate outputs to verify the satellite power system.
- 1200 W mainframe holds up to two modules
- Small size: up to two outputs in 2 U of rack space
- High output power: up to 600 W per output
- Fast I-V curve change and fast recovery switching time
- Easy to simulate environmental conditions
- LAN, USB, and GPIB interfaces standard
- Fully compliant to LXI (core) specification
- Individual instrument or custom turn-key system
Small, Fast, and Flexible
The E4360 Modular Solar Array Simulator (SAS) is a dual output programmable dc power source that simulates the output characteristics of a solar array. The E4360 SAS is primarily a current source with very low output capacitance and is capable of quickly simulating the I-V curve of different arrays under different conditions.
