What is a regenerative DC power supply (bi-directional power supply)?
A regenerative DC power supply (bidirectional power supply) is a power supply that has the functions of a DC power supply and a DC electronic load in one unit, and regenerates power to the AC power supply side (system) during load operation. Since it is equipped with functions of a DC power supply and a DC electronic load, it can be easily used to evaluate motor inverters, batteries, bidirectional DC-DC converters, etc. without switching connections.
In addition, the power is regenerated high-efficiently when the DC electronic load is applied, enabling significant size reduction, enabling the significant size reduction of the heat dissipation part.
Introducing the PBR series video
Main applications
It has wide application range such as in-vehicle inverters, converters, motors, and in-vehicle chargers (OBCs) for hybrid vehicles, electric vehicles (EVs), and electric motorcycles, as well as evaluation tests for V2H equipment and power conditioners for solar and wind power generation.
Since it has both power supply and electronic load functions, it can be used for charging and discharging tests of car batteries and household storage batteries without switching connections.
Furthermore, as it can simulate the charging and discharging of batteries, it is used as a battery replacement simulator (battery simulator function). Compared with conventional regenerative power supplies, Matsusada Precision's PBR/PBRM series featuring the compact body and parallel connection can respond with greater flexibility to diversifying application in evaluation and testing.
So, it is no surprise that the series is one of the most popular power supplies among many manufacturers in automobile, automotive equipment manufacturers, transportation equipment, robots, energy equipment, and battery-related field for development, evaluation, and production.

How to compact
- State-of-the-art semiconductor
- In order to minimize the heat generation itself inside the power supply, we adopted the latest device including semiconductor elements of high efficiency via thorough examination. This enables the product to provide such a sufficient cooling function to maximize the high performance.
- Air-through Circuit Blocking Technology
- Following the structure review of the circuit blocking, the product has been made smaller, and we also have put more focus on the improvement of block arrangement contributing to excellent space efficiency by extremely reducing the dead space. Consequently, we achieved the significant development of the high-density mounting technology. While extra spaces inside the device had been required to release the heat so far, we successfully made the product even smaller to ensure the total amount of height of a mere 133 mm.

Main Functions
Sequence Setting Input/Output and Operation Log Output via Front USB Terminal
With this function, you can readily perform not only reading sequence settings arbitrarily created but also collecting operating logs which are arbitrarily created by the user.
The attached software can read the log file output from the main unit and shows the data in a graph.
The information on operating log is shown on display as of operation time, CC/CV mode, output value (of voltage, current or power), status, and error information, etc.
In the function, 1,024 steps of sequence programs as well as 100 patterns of the I-V curve are loaded from a USB memory. The operating log is also outputted to USB memory.
Two-mode Lock Function
The locking is selectable from two setting modes: one is "Full LOCK" to lock all front panel operation, and the other is "Normal LOCK" to lock all operations except the ON/OFF switch.
The function is so user-friendly that the "Full LOCK" mode is provided to ensure the prevention of erroneous operation, and the "Normal LOCK" function facilitates the emergency stop while preventing erroneous operation.
Emergency stop operation using the POWER ON/OFF switch is possible in either mode.
Full LOCK
All switches including the touch panel and encoder are locked except LOCK release. It is further effective to prevent the erroneous stop during the remote control and to completely avoid erroneous operation.
Normal LOCK
Switches the touch panel, and encoder are locked other than ON/OFF. It is further effective to prevent the erroneous changes of output values during the local control and to facilitate emergency stops.
Internal Resistance Variation Function (in CV mode)
Set the internal resistance to any value to generate a voltage drop when the load current flows. Batteries, photovoltaic cells, and fuel cells can be simulated.
(The setting range of the internal resistance value is from 0 Ω to the rated voltage/rated current.)
Remote Control
Using the connector in TB1 attached on the back of the unit, the status outputs are available by open collector.
| Type | TB1 connector pin | |
|---|---|---|
| Output | Common | |
| OVP | 13 | 6 |
| OTP | 14 | |
| CV/CC or CP | 15 | |
- Withstand voltage: 30 V
- Sink current: 5 mA
Floating common
Expandable to 150kW with Master/Slave Control
Capable of covering a wide output range with parallel connections of up to 10 units in total.
[Sample Connection]
* Master/Slave control cables for PBR series is available as an optional accessory. For details, download the datasheet.
- Expandable to a total of 10 Master and Slave units.
- In Master/Slave connection, the values of output voltage/current for the whole unit are shown on the output voltage/current meter of the Master. (However, each Slave unit does not display the individual output values on the output voltage/current meter.)
Note: Make sure to use the same length of all the cables to connect between each load and the main unit.
Battery Simulator Function (Standard)
In the function, the simulation of I-V curve which is a fundamental feature of battery is provided. The voltage or current value is set at 1001 within the rated voltage or current of the PBR unit. In order to use this function, setting and loading in the PC application attached as standard are needed. Additionally, as many as 100 graph patterns (of I-V curve) are loaded to the PBR unit through this function.
SOC Automated variable Function (Option)
Using -LAsoc Option, you can automatically change the graph patterns which have been previously created according to the power running or regenerative operation. For power running, the SOC will decrease, and on the other hand, for regeneration, the SOC will increase.
The integrated current is automatically calculated respectively to the change the graph patterns accordingly.
Sequence Function
The sequence function allows programming of parameters such as step time, step amplitude, ramp, CV/CC mode, sequence end setting, step jump, and jump count by simply operating on the front panel. This option enables to generate optional waveforms, and you can use a great variety of applications including testing evaluation, and verification.
- Step setting time 0.0 s to 3,600.0 s
- For one program, a maximum of 1,024 steps can be configured and saved.
- CV/CC mode can be set for each program.
- Repetition frequency: infinity, or 1 to 999
The product is also provided with the dedicated software to allow a series of configuration using PC. Thus, you can use the product with different applications depending on the specification.
CV/CC Priority Setting Function
CV (constant voltage) priority/CC (constant current) priority mode can be selected and set. As is the case with diodes, a load tends to suddenly change the resistance at certain points. When the device is started in CV mode, the current will be momentary overshot.
In PBR series, select the CC priority mode to suppress the occurrence of overshoot. The function can reduce the risk of damaging expensive loads such as high-power laser diodes.
* In the CC priority mode, not by releasing the voltage setting and set the CC value to the lowest within the range where the CC state can be maintained.
Operational range
The regeneration has the lower limit of the voltage/current. For further information, please contact our sales representatives.
