The latest hybrid programmable power supply by ActionPower comes with 6 channels hybrid interface and allows AC/DC module arbitrary combination for flexible testing configuration where both AC and DC are engaged.

Hybrid Programmable Power Supply Addresses Industrial Challenges

The requirements and expectations around test solution's flexibility and compatibility, apart from power density, footprint, and programmability, have been evolving more demanding than ever. For accommodating different testing scenarios where AC and DC are both present for either input or output, the end-user sees always essentially the implementation of separate DC power supply and AC source test equipment for both sourcing and sinking power.

One answer to these challenges comes in the form of a hybrid programmable power supply with modular design to flexibly switching between AC and DC either as input or output is the MIX Series by ActionPower Electric which will be revealed at Europe Automotive Testing Expo 2025 celebrated from May 20 to 22, in Stuttgart, Germany.

Versatility Redefined by Arbitrary AC/DC Combination

The MIX Series Modular Hybrid Power Supply System redefines versatility in power testing solutions, combining AC and DC modules in a compact, user-configurable design.

The 6-channel hybrid interface with 3U enclosure supports flexible and versatile topologies including AC/AC, AC/DC, DC/AC, DC/DC testing with a quick testing system setup by replacing AC/DC modules in a plug-and-play manner supported by the power supply's adaptive automatic module type recognition.

Precision meets programmability with the MIX Series

The system supports advanced waveform generation, including List, Step, Pulse, and harmonic/inter-harmonic simulation (up to 100th order at 40-70Hz), alongside 100 user-defined waveforms. Engineers can simulate real-world conditions effortlessly, thanks to its built-in R/L impedance adjustment, which aligns with IEC61000-3-2/3-3 standards for cable impedance emulation. The AC modules further integrate a comprehensive standards library (UL1741SA, IEEE 1547, IEC62116, etc.), enabling one-click compliance testing.

Testing Dynamics

the MIX Series achieves microsecond-level response times, replicating field anomalies in lab environments. Its high-speed fibre-optic parallel system maintains precision even in multi-module setups, while redundant current distribution ensures uninterrupted operation if a module fails. The DC modules also excel as bidirectional sources/loads, offering seamless, surge-free transitions between modes (CV/CC/CP/CR) and constant-power output across voltage/current ranges.

Rounding out its capabilities, the system features 6½-digit measurement resolution (mV/mA accuracy) and function-generator flexibility, superimposing sine, pulse, or custom waves (up to 10kHz) onto DC outputs. From micro-inverters to industrial electronics, the MIX Series combines laboratory-grade precision with industrial robustness, empowering innovators to push boundaries in energy storage, smart grids, and beyond.
