PROGRAMMABLE WIDE RANGE DC POWER SUPPLY
Turbo function a wide output range in a compact unit
- Voltage range: 80V to 650V
- Current: 8A to 100A
- Power: 1600W
- Great operability
Wide range output is possible with "turbo function" installed.
RKT series is a programmable DC power supply with a turbo function that can output up to five times more voltage/current than a standard DC power supply with the same output power.
A single unit can be used for a wide range of applications, eliminating the need for output voltage and current because each unit can output voltage and current flexibly within the range of 1600 W.
We have thoroughly honed their fundamental performance by adopting of the power factor correction circuit, which contributes to the reduction of CO2 emission, individual four digits indicator for voltage and current, rotary encoder so that it is possible to set and read speedily and accurately, and so on.
Moreover, they are applicable to various automatic measurements, and production facilities such as LAN, USB, RS-485, and GPIB are selectable as a function for digital communication.
* A conversion adapter or additional option is required separately.

Functions
-LDe Option
(1) Function For Pulse & Ramp and Master Follow
Output control as next A to D is possible.
A. Pulse (Step) Sequence Function
The Sequence function lets you generate complex voltage and current patterns by automatically cycling through settings stored in memories a, b, and c. You can run the sequence continuously or for a specified number of cycles. By setting the duration of any step (a, b, c, or off) to 0.0, you can easily skip steps to create custom test patterns. This flexibility is ideal for product evaluation and reliability testing.
The parameters ta, tb, tc, and toff can be set to 0.0 s, or from 1.0 s to 99.9 h.
B. Ramp Function
The Ramp function provides linear control to gradually increase the output to a set voltage/current, or decrease it to zero. This feature is useful for applications that require a slow power-up or power-down.
* The ramp operation can be applied to: Voltage and Current, Voltage Only, or Current Only.
The t1 and t2 parameters can be set from 0 s to 999 s.
C. Combined Sequence and Ramp
For advanced control, the Sequence and Ramp functions can be used together. This allows you to create complex profiles by smoothly ramping the voltage and/or current between the discrete steps defined in memories a, b, and c. The entire waveform can be run continuously or for a pre-set number of cycles, making it a powerful tool for various testing scenarios.
t1 and t2 can be set from 0 s to 999 s, while ta, tb, tc, and toff can be set to 0.0 s or from 1.0 s to 99.9 h.
D. Master follow
Master-follow is a function that allows a slave equipment to follow the output status of the master equipment in a master-slave connection. The output status of the master equipment is transmitted to the slave equipment to enable interlocked operation. The master and slave can be set to different modes of operation, allowing for complex testing.
* The Master follow function is available only with Matsusada Precision's original digital interface.
(2) Sweep Control Programming
Easy programming of sweep operation!
With the -LDe option, the available sweep commands are adapted by setting the arrival time and arrival conditions (voltage/current). Since there is no need to set commands that are repeated step by step, it is easier to create new programs and change conditions, saving a great deal of operation time.
It also contributes to securing time for development, research, etc.
Sink Current Suppression
When supplying power to loads with capacities like batteries and capacitors, the sink current suppression is used to reduce the reverse current flowing from the load to the unit in order to prevent a voltage drop on the load as the output is OFF or the set voltage is lowered.
Note: Reverse current cannot be controlled and stabilized. Connect a dummy resistor or reverse current prevention diode when a load of the reverse voltage is equal to or higher than the rated voltage. (inductive loads, regenerative motors, etc.)
Multi Setting Function
Memorize three voltage and current settings in addition to the standard preset values. There is no need to adjust the output when different settings, and convenient function for the production inspection process or testing which requires frequent data taking.
Two Mode Lock Function
Two modes can be selected: "Full lock" which locks all front panel operations, "Standard lock" which locks all operations except for OUTPUT ON/OFF. "Full lock" mode shall be good in case a miss-operation has to be completely avoided, and "Normal lock" mode shall be good in case to avoid a miss-operation but secure the way for an emergency stop of the power supply. You can select the best mode according to your level of "Security".
(In both modes, emergency stop is possible with Power Switch.)
Delayed Trigger Function
In case the -LUs1, -LEt, or -LGob option is selected, only one unit of the RKT series can be used.
Function to delay the OUTPUT ON/OFF time. It is possible to use in case a single unit of RKT series is used, and also when connecting several Matsusada Precision power supplies (*1) using master-slave connection terminal (*2) and output voltage/output current are set individually, delay trigger function can be used. (*3)
* t1 to T8 can be set in the range 0.0 to 99.9 s.
- R4K-36 series, R4K-80 series, RK-80 series, RK series, TB series, and REK series.
- Can be connected to up to 16 units.
- Only for slave-local. In the case of the slave remote control, the exact same model of power supply needs to be used. Also, in the case of slave-local, each output voltage and current can be set individually. In the case of slave-remote, output voltage, and current can be set with a one-control function in which each slave unit follows the master unit setting.
Dual Tracking, Multiple Outputs
Dual tracking control which enables both positive and negative outputs simultaneously in master-slave operation is possible. Multi outputs and various versatile operations are also possible by combining the above dual tracking control and slave local mode.
Positive and negative output (+V, -V) of dual tracking control and set output voltage of slave local mode can be output simultaneously by turning on the master unit.
Dual tracking
Multi output
Digital Interface Port
This is Matsusada Precision's proprietary digital communication port. This interface has modular type IN and OUT ports to allow daisy-chain connection. Combined with an adapter (sold separately). Multiple power supplies can be controlled at once. Adapters for LAN, USB, RS-232C, RS-485, and GPIB are available so that you can choose a suitable communication interface. One-control operation by master-slave connection is also possible.
