Chapter 1
Introduction
Overview
Chapter 1 contains important information you should read BEFORE attempting to
install and power-up your APS-3000P Series Power Converter. The information in this
chapter is provided for use by experienced operators. Experienced operators
understand the necessity of becoming familiar with, and then observing, life-critical
safety and installation issues. Topics in this chapter include:
 Safety Notices
 Warnings
 Cautions
 Preparation for Installation
 Installation Instructions
 Transportation
 Storage
Introduction to the APS-3000P Power Converter
APS-3000P Series Power Converters have been designed for long-life trouble-free
operation in the shop-floor testing environment. The input to APS-3000P units is
commercially available power at fixed voltage and frequency. The output from APS-
3000P units is programmable power at user-controlled voltages and frequencies.
There are several operational modes: (1) front panel manual control; (2) manually
programmed test sequences; (3) external control of the manually programmed test
sequences; and (4) external programmable control. All units have the ability to be
externally controlled by remote switch closures. For more complex control sequences

APS-3000P Series 1 - 2 OM-001-03000-00P-03.9
and data acquisition, each P-series unit includes a user-specified RS-232 external serial
interface or GPIB external parallel interface.
The APS-3000P Series of Power Converters have been designed to provide frequency
and voltage conversion in a controlled test environment. Both manually adjustable and
remotely programmable settings are provided. All APS-3000P Series Power
Converters provide 3-phase output power. Different models cover the power range
from 3 kVA to 180 kVA. All units provide user-controlled 3-phase output power
within the frequency range of 45 – 500 Hz.
All APS-3000P Series units operate as double-conversion power converters. The first
conversion is AC to DC. The second conversion is DC back to AC. All units (except
the 1-phase input APS-3003P and APS-3006P) operate with 3-phase input power.
After rectification, filtering removes high-frequency content. Low-ripple DC is
subsequently converted to 3-phase AC by a high-frequency pulse-width-modulated
(PWM) switcher. Precise control is maintained by using a highly stable digital
oscillator.
APS-3000P Series Power Converters are designed for long-term continuous operation
in sheltered (no rain) environments. Because there are no batteries, APS-3000P units
operate reliably over a wide ambient temperature range. Through the use of switching
technology the equipment is efficient (about 85%). Power Converter units are
relatively tolerant of high dust environments.
Safety Notices
 APS-3000P Series Power Converters can transfer very large amounts of
electrical energy very quickly.
 The rapid transfer of large amounts of electrical energy is fundamental to any
high-performance power source.
 Only experienced operators who have both read and understood the
information in this manual should attempt to operate the unit.
 The following warnings and cautions herein must be observed at all times.

Chapter 2
Specifications
Overview
Chapter 2 summarizes the capabilities and general features of the APS-3000P family
of Power Converters. Functional capabilities are similar for all units. APS units convert
fixed line voltage at a fixed frequency to user-selected 3-phase output voltages and
frequencies. The primary differences between units are size, weight, type of external
data interface, and specific power handling capability. All units provide built-in PLC
remote control for three program memories.
At the time of purchase, APS-3000P users select between one of two external control
and data interfaces: either RS-232 or GPIB. Both external interfaces provide full input
and output control of functions and data, independent of internally stored programs. In
addition, the external interfaces control eight APS-3000P internal program memories.
Please note, application of external control and data acquisition require instrumentation
programming skills. Therefore, Adaptive Power Systems recommends that only
experienced test instrumentation programmers prepare the RS-232 or GPIB test
programs.
The Displays and Controls Table in this section provides summary information about
the programmable memories and external control. More detailed information about
external interface control is found in Chapter 5.
This Chapter includes five summary tables and a surge-current performance graph. The
tables summarize different capabilities and features of APS-3000P Power Converters.
The graph illustrates over-current (start-up surge-current) capabilities.

Introduction
APS-3000P Power Converters are rugged versatile workhorses. The intended location
for APS-3000P units is the test floor, not a laboratory workbench. The smallest unit,
the APS-3003P, weights 305 lbs. The largest unit, the APS-3180P, weighs around 4000
lbs. Users can select from several modes of operation:
 full-manual operation
 manually programmed operation
 remote PLC operation
 remotely programmed serial data operation (RS-232 option)
 remotely programmed parallel data operation (GPIB option)
 combinations of these operational modes
In keeping with their workhorse nature, all APS-3000P units feature a 200% start-up
surge-current capability. The ability to source initial surge currents prevents the
programmed over-current protection from disabling a test.

Power versus Output Frequency Rating Chart
The following thermal ratings apply to models 3060, 3090, 3120, 3150 and 3180 as a
function of load and programmed output frequency at an ambient temperature of
25°C. This derating is caused by heat build-up in the output transformer.
Output load ratings expressed as restive load reflecting % of full load for frequency
ranges at which the power source can operate continuously are as follows:
45Hz ~ 100Hz 90% resistive load
< 200Hz 77% resistive load
< 300Hz 65% resistor load
< 400Hz 52% resistor load
< 500Hz 40% resistor load
At an output frequency of 500Hz and output power into 70% resistor load, the power
source can operate for a period of 15 minutes then instrument output will shut down
because output transformer is too hot.
