GENERAL PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The AMX-Series Power Source is high-performance AC power conversion equipment. This
series of equipment features models with power ratings from 500 VA to 30 kVA. All systems
are designed to fit into a standard 19 inch rack. These systems are suitable for use as
frequency changers as well as sophisticated test power generators.
All systems are configured with an interchangeable controller (UPC-Series). Controller
options range from basic manual control (UPC1M and 3M) to sophisticated programmable
controllers (UPC1, UPC3, UPC12 or UPC32). The manual controller allows the user to adjust
voltage and frequency. The programmable controller allows control of voltage and frequency,
and also allows the user to simulate virtually any transient (including sub-cycle waveform
disturbance) required for testing today's modern electronic equipment.

OVERLOAD OPERATION
The AMX-Series Power Source will deliver up to 150% of rated rms output current into unity
power factor loads at full-rated output voltage. Low output power factor, reduced output
voltage, and elevated ambient temperatures will increase the internal dissipation of the power
source and can cause overload shutdown due to over-temperature conditions. Length of
time to reach over-temperature varies with the models and the above parameters.

390-AMX and 3120-AMX
2.3.3 THERMAL PROTECTION

The input power transformer is configured with a thermocouple which senses its temperature.
The power amplifier assemblies are also configured with temperature sensors. When the
transformer or any power amplifier exceeds maximum safe operating temperature, the output
relays are opened, disconnecting the load, and the Shutdown Lamp, located on the front
panel, is lighted.
The overtemperature shutdown fault must be manually reset. The fault can only be reset
after the over-temperature condition has ceased to exist and the Output Power Switch is
placed in the "OFF" position. Sending an Output Off command via the remote interface
(applies to programmable systems only) also resets a shutdown fault, provided that the
condition which originally caused the shutdown has been cleared. If the Output is turned off
and the shutdown condition has not been cleared, the power source will remain in the
shutdown state until the offending condition has cleared.

CHASSIS PLACEMENT (cont.)

Upon receiving the power source, inspect the packaging for any indication of shipping
damage. Carefully unpack and inspect the power source. If any shipping damage is
evident, immediately contact the shipping company and Pacific Power Source.
Select an appropriate location for the unit. Key points to consider when locating the chassis
are:
1.
PROXIMITY TO THE LOAD - The power source should be located as close to the
load as possible. This helps to reduce distribution losses. These losses become
more critical as the output frequency increases.
2.
VENTILATION - The chassis requires good ventilation to adequately cool the internal
components. Airflow ranges from 200 to 1200 CFM.
The minimum clearance
requirement for each model is listed below.

When the power source is placed in a 19 inch rack, it must be supported by either chassis
slides or full depth angle brackets. The front panel alone will not support the weight of the
power source. Chassis slides are available from Pacific Power Source as a cost option.
Call factory service for details.
After the location for the unit is selected, verify that the input voltage of the power source is
correct (Input voltage is stated on the system ID label). If it requires changing, refer to
Paragraph 3.3 for instructions.
Also check that the output transformer ratio is correct. If not, reconfigure to the desired ratio
as directed by Paragraph 3.2.
After the input voltage form and output transformer ratio have been verified, set the power
source into the rack or set it into its final position. Make input and output connections as
stated in paragraphs 3.3 and 3.4, respectively.
If either the Remote Interface (GPIB or RS-232) or External Sense feature is to be used, refer
to paragraphs 3.5 and 3.7 for connection.

terminal on the Model 125-AMX) terminal is the low side of the output. The low side of the
load connects to this terminal in all models.
The "CHS" terminal must always be connected to the chassis of the load. Since the output
is isolated, either output terminal (direct-coupled output only) may be connected to chassis.
This allows the user to re-establish a local ground for the output. The output must be referenced to chassis somewhere, preferably neutral. Unless demanded otherwise by a particular application, Pacific Power Source recommends that a jumper be installed across the
"N" ("L2" for Model 125-AMX) and "CHS" terminals of the Output Terminal block.
The "N" terminal of the Output Power Terminal Block must always be connected to the
"CHS" terminal when using transformer-coupled outputs. Refer to Paragraph 3.4.4 for
special considerations when using transformer-coupled output forms.

Neutral) must be referenced to chassis somewhere. Unless demanded otherwise by a particular application, Pacific Power Source recommends that a jumper be installed across the
"N" and "CHS" terminals of the Output Terminal block.

3.4.4 TRANSFORMER OUTPUTS - SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

OUTPUT GROUNDING
The output of the AMX-Series Power Source is electrically isolated from the input power and
earth ground. This allows the user to establish a local ground for the output of the Power
Source. The AMX-Series Power Source is designed to withstand voltage potentials of 150
VAC between the Neutral output terminal and chassis ground.
When using the direct-coupled outputs, any output or neutral may be connected to chassis.
Since the line to neutral voltage cannot exceed 150 VAC, the voltage stress from neutral to
chassis never exceeds designed limits.
In the case of transformer-coupled outputs, neutral must be connected to chassis ground
(either locally or remotely), because line to neutral voltages can be greater than 150 VAC. If
a phase voltage (Va, Vb, or Vc) were connected to chassis, the voltage could exceed the 150
VAC limit specified for the neutral to chassis voltage. Neutral must remain within 150 VAC of
chassis (earth ground) at all times.
LOW FREQUENCY OPERATION
AMX-Series output transformers are designed to operate from 45 to 5,000 Hz. In the case of
steady-state sine wave output, operation at frequencies as low as 30 Hz (125 VAC Vpri) is
possible. Operation at lower frequencies ( below 30Hz ) may cause saturation of the output
transformers, but at reduced output voltages, lower frequency operation is possible. The
VoltSecond Product of the output MUST NOT exceed the maximum VoltSecond rating of the
transformer to prevent saturation of the transformers when operating at lower frequencies.
For example, to determine the value of reduced voltage at 20Hz operation of the transformer
described above,
1. Calculate the VoltSecond Product maximum value of the transformer at 30Hz and 125 Vac
T30 Hz
1

T20 Hz

Therefore, to prevent output transformer saturation at 20Hz operation, the maximum primary
voltage of the transformer should be 82.5Vac.
Systems with transformers connected to the output require special attention when designing
transient profiles (applicable to systems w/UPC). It is possible to design transients in which
the DC Component of the periodic waveform is not zero. Attempting to push DC voltage
through the transformer will cause saturation of the device.
However, the output
transformers are designed to support a single event, half-cycle dropout at 125 VACpri, 50 Hz
without saturating. Continuous operation with an asymmetrical waveform (DC component
0) will cause saturation.

3.4.5 MASTER - SLAVE PARALLELING INTERCONNECTIONS (M5283)

The paralleling option, M5283, for models 140, 160, 345, and 360AMX provides the ability to create a
multi-unit AC Power Source system that parallels up to five power sources for increased power.
Paralleled units must all be the same model, and each system must contain at least one designated
master unit, however, any combination of master/slave selectable or dedicated slave units may
connected to the designated master.
Basic instructions to configure a two chassis system follow. For systems equipped with this option,
Section 9 of the manual will include additional operation and connection detail.
WARNING
DE-ENERGIZE ALL POWER SOURCES BEFORE INSTALLING OR
CHANGING ANY REAR PANEL CONNECTORS.
CONNECTION OF A TWO CHASSIS SYSTEM:
Refer to Figure 3.4.5.1 for the connections required to parallel the two power sources. All
paralleled units must have the paralleling option installed.
On the rear of each power source:
1. On the designated Master Power Source, set the Master-Slave switch (S21) to the
Master position (a designated Master must contain a UPC-32 or UPC-12 controller).
2. On the designated Slave Power Source, set the Master-Slave switch (S21) to Slave
(designated Slave may contain, but does not require a UPC-32 or UPC-12 controller).
3. Connect the supplied Paralleling Interconnect cable to the Master-Slave connectors
(J21) on both power sources.
4. Connect the output terminals of both power sources to each other. i.e. connect the
A output terminal of the Master to the A terminal of the Slave. Repeat for all
available phases and Neutral.
NOTE: All output wires must be of the same guage and length.
5. Connect the Chassis CHS terminals of both power sources together with the
appropriate ring lug and wire (not supplied).
6. If present, connect each Magnetics Module to its Power Source at (P20) as shown in
Figure 3.4.5.1.
NOTE: The chassis, CHS and neutral, N terminals must always be
connected to both power sources.
Output power connections from the power sources to the load are made at the OUTPUT POWER
terminal block at the rear panel of the Master power source only (refer paragraphs 3.4.1 through 3.4.4
for detailed instructions). External sense connection is made in the standard fashion on the
designated Master power source as well (refer to paragraph 3.7 for detailed instructions). The
remote interface (GPIB or RS-232) connector, J4, and the AUX I/O connector, J5, are active and
should only be connected to the designated master.

ROUTINE POWER-UP, PARALLELED SYSTEM
The following procedure is recommended to turn on paralleled systems after it has been
verified that the installation is correct.
WARNING
1.
Set the OUTPUT POWER switch of the Master Chassis (that which has the controller
installed) to the OFF position. The Output Power Switch of the Slave chassis is
disabled. Switch the INPUT POWER switch of the Master chassis to the ON
position. Switch the INPUT POWER switch of the Slave chassis to the ON position.
This sequence is recommended so that the power amplifiers of the system operate in
a controlled manner during power-up. The controller will light up and begin to
display output data. The value of the output parameters will be set as programmed
in the UPC.
2.
Set the OUTPUT POWER switch of the Master chassis to the ON/AUTO position and
press the OUTPUT ENABLE button of the UPC to be ON.
CAUTION
DO NOT CONNECT ANY LOADS TO THE OUTPUT OF THE POWER SOURCE UNTIL THE
OUTPUT VOLTAGE AND FREQUENCY HAVE BEEN VERIFIED AS CORRECT.
APPLICATION OF IMPROPER VOLTAGE OR FREQUENCY CAN DAMAGE USER LOADS.
NOTE:
Paralleled units must all be the same model. That is, only a
345-AMX may be paralleled with a 345-AMX, a 160-AMX may
only be paralleled with a 160-AMX. Connection with dissimilar
power sources will likely cause an output fault and may cause
damage to the equipment or the load.
It is the installers responsibility to meet all local and national
electrical codes when installing this equipment.
74
SECTION 3
INSTALLATION

SYSTEM TURN-OFF, PARALLELED SYSTEM
This paragraph describes the procedure used to turn off the paralleled systems.
The paralleled systems are turned off by:
1.
Setting the OUTPUT POWER Switch of the Master chassis (which has the controller
installed) to the OFF position.
2.
Opening the INPUT POWER circuit breaker of the Slave chassis.
3.
Opening the INPUT POWER circuit breaker of the Master chassis.
CAUTION
It is recommended that only the OUTPUT POWER switch of the Master chassis be used to remove
power to a load. The INPUT POWER switch of the Slave chassis should never be turned to the OFF
position with a load attached to the system as it will subject the Master chassis to all the load current
being delivered by the system. This will cause an overtemp shutdown if the load exceeds the Master
chassis' system ratings. Also, the Master chassis INPUT POWER switch should never be used to
remove power to a load since it drives all the control circuits for the paralleled system.
CONNECTION OF THE THREE TO FIVE CHASSIS

Interconnection for larger systems (3-5 power sources) is similar to these instructions with the
exception of output wiring to the load. For instructions on how to install and operate a higher power
system, refer to section 9.0 of this manual.

REMOTE INTERFACE
The programmable controller (UPC-Series Controller) is supplied with one of two remote
interfaces. These are the GPIB (General Purpose Interface Bus) or RS-232 Interface.
Connection information relative to these interfaces is described in detail in the UPC-Series
Operation manual.
3.6
AUX I/O INSTALLATION

The Auxiliary Input/Output signals may vary between the different controllers. However, the
method of connection remains the same.
The AUX I/O connector contains synchronizing outputs (digital) and modulation inputs
(analog). These are extremely useful in certain test applications. The use of any of these
signals is optional and connection to these points is required only when these features are
used.
The AUX I/O connector is located on the rear panel of the power source and is labeled as
such. This is a DB-25S connector. A DB-25P connector is required for connection to AUX
I/O connector.
All signals contained within the AUX I/O connector are low-level (less than 15 VDC) and are
with respect to earth ground reference. Refer to the appropriate controller operation manual
for complete definition of the signals present on the AUX I/O connector.

INSTALLATION
EXTERNAL SENSE CONNECTION

This paragraph describes connection of external sense leads to the AMX-Series Power
Source. External Sense wire size and methods are discussed.
The AMX-Series Power Source contains External Sense Circuits. These circuits measure
output voltage at an external sense point. Since this feature can be completely disabled, the
wiring detailed in this paragraph is optional. If the External Sense feature is desired, connect
the sense wires as described here.
WARNING
Figures 3.7.1 and 3.7.2 show external sense wiring for 1, 2, and 3 systems. There is little
or no current flowing through the External Sense metering lines. Standard 22 AWG, 600 Volt
(0.050 or 1.27mm ) control wire is recommended for this application. Twisting the External
Sense wiring is recommended and, in some cases, can improve performance. In noisy
environments, shielding may become necessary. If shielded cable is used, be sure to
ground the shield at one end only, to prevent the possibility of creating a ground loop.
When wiring the External Sense Leads to a DELTA load (refer to paragraph 3.4.3), connect
the Neutral terminal of the External Sense Terminal block to the Neutral terminal of the Output
Terminal block.
When the neutral wire is not used by the load on a split phase output (2 Phase Output Mode,
refer to paragraph 3.4.2), connect the Neutral terminal of the External Sense Terminal block to
the Neutral terminal of the Output Power Terminal block. In cases where the load has a
neutral terminal, connect the neutral lead from External Sense Terminal block to the neutral
terminal of the load.

OPERATION
SYSTEM SHUTDOWN
This paragraph describes the conditions which will cause system shutdown and the procedure
used to reset the AMX-Series Power Source.
4.5.1 SHUTDOWN CONDITIONS

The Output Contactor of the AMX-Series Power Source will be opened automatically when:
1.
Either the Input Power Transformer or one of the power amplifier assemblies has
reached an Over-temperature condition. (Over-temperature is usually caused by
either blocking the air inlets (includes dirty fan filters) or overloading the power
source.)
2.
The state of the Output Coupling has changed while the Output Contactor is engaged.
3.
The state of the Output Form has changed while the Output Contactor is engaged.
When the Output Contactor has been opened due to one of the above faults, the
SHUTDOWN LED on the front panel of the power source will be lighted. The output
contactor will remain open while the SHUTDOWN LED is lighted. This LED will remain
lighted until reset.
If the Output Power Switch is in the ON/AUTO position when the unit is turned on, the
SHUTDOWN LED will light. This is normal operation. The LED is turned off simply by
placing the Output Power Switch into the OFF position.
4.5.2 RESETTING SHUTDOWN FAULTS

The shutdown fault is reset as follows:
1.
Set the OUTPUT POWER Switch to the OFF position.
2.
Wait for the SHUTDOWN LED to extinguish. This LED will remain lighted until the
condition which caused the shutdown to occur has been corrected. In the case of
shutdown due to over-temperature this may take some time while the unit cools down.
The output contactor cannot be engaged until the shutdown fault has been cleared.
NOTE: The SHUTDOWN LED is latched on when a fault occurs. The OUTPUT POWER
Switch or the Output Enable of the UPC MUST be placed in the OFF position before the
SHUTDOWN LED will extinguish, even if the original fault no longer exists.
3.
After the SHUTDOWN LED has been extinguished, the unit will function normally.
87
SECTION 4
4.6
OPERATION
OUTPUT VOLTAGE FORMS

The AMX-Series Power Source can be configured for various output voltage forms, depending
on the power source model.
A recommended strategy for selecting the optimum output voltage form is based on two basic
philosophies. The first is to use a direct-coupled output form whenever possible. The
second is to select the minimum voltage range necessary to drive the load.
Direct-coupled output is preferred because the output impedance is extremely low, also low
frequency limitations associated with transformer outputs do not exist. This is especially true
when attempting to perform sub-cycle transients.
Selecting the minimum voltage range necessary to drive the load allows the power source to
operate more efficiently and usually has more current available. This results in less heat
being dissipated into the surrounding environment.
Paragraph 4.6.1 discusses the various circuits associated with the different output forms.
4.6.1 SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE

AMX-Series Power Sources can be configured for single, split, and three phase output voltage
forms. Figure 4.6.1 is a simplified block diagram of the possible output architectures. Only
the direct-coupled output forms are shown. All of the forms can be supplied with
transformers to raise the output voltage level.
The 1 PHASE (FORM 1) mode of operation is a one vector output form. All of the power
amplifiers are connected in parallel to form one output vector. The standard, direct-coupled
version of this output form is capable of 0-135 VACl-n (0-150 VACl-n for the Models 112, 312,
and 125-AMX). The voltage ranges of the various transformer output forms are defined in
section 3.2.
The 2 PHASE (FORM 2) mode of operation is a two vector output form where the vectors are
separated by 180 and equal in amplitude. This output form uses power amplifiers in pairs,
one for each vector. The load can be attached from either line to neutral, line to line, or a
combination of both (line to line only in the case of the Model 125-AMX). The standard,
direct-coupled version of this output form has a voltage range of 0-270 VACl-l (0-300 VACl-l for
the Models 112, 312, and 125-AMX). The voltage ranges of the various transformer output
forms are twice the 1 PHASE voltage. Models 305, 308, 320, 330, 345, 360, 390 and
3120-AMX, only two of the three power amplifiers are connected--limiting these systems to
producing only two-thirds of rated output power.
NOTE: The AMX-Series Power Sources do not support voltages in excess of 600 VACrms due
to controller, safety, and spacing limitations. Attempting to defeat the inherent programming
limitations of the controller to obtain higher voltages is strongly recommended against.
The 3 PHASE (FORM 3) mode of operation is a three vector output form with vectors
normally separated by 120. Power amplifiers are supplied in groups of three with this output
form and are WYE connected. A WYE load is connected to the A, B, C, and Neutral
terminals of the output terminal block. This output form will also drive DELTA loads.
DELTA loads are simply connected to the A, B, and C terminals of the output terminal block
with the Neutral terminal not connected. The standard, direct-coupled version of this form
has an output voltage range of 0 to 135/234 VAC (0 to 150/260 VAC for the Model 312-AMX).
The line to neutral voltage ranges of the various transformer output forms are the same as the
1 PHASE voltage.

MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
5.2.1 MODELS 105, 108, 112, 305, 308, & 312-AMX

The Models 105-AMX, 108-AMX, 112-AMX, 305-AMX, 308-AMX, and 312-AMX require
calibration once every six months as regular maintenance. Refer to Section 6 for details.
5.2.2 MODELS 125, 140, 160, 320, 345, 360, 390 and 3120-AMX
The Models 125, 140, 160, 320, 345, 360, 390, and 3120-AMX require maintenance once every
three months. Maintenance of these models consists of cleaning the fan filter. It is important
that this filter is kept clean in order to insure proper cooling of internal components. Loss of
available power and over-temperature shutdown may result from a dirty or clogged filter.
The fan filter is cleaned as follows:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Slide the chassis forward to reveal the fan filter access panel, located on the
bottom of the chassis, immediately behind the front panel of the unit.
Remove the fan filter access panel. (The 320-AMX has no access panel.
Loosen the 2 screws that partially protrude from the side panels, directly above
the filter, to allow the filter to slide out of its holder.)
The filter will slide out of its holder. Remove the filter.
Wash and dry the fan filter. The filter is a metal screen mesh type. It is
reusable and is best cleaned by washing with warm soapy water. Make sure
that the filter is dry before installing it into the chassis.
Install the filter and then replace the fan filter access plate or remaining screws.
Slide the chassis back into its normal position.
If system operation is suspect or the calibration interval has passed, perform the calibration
