1.3 GENERAL PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The ASX-Series Power Source is high-performance AC power conversion equipment. This
series of equipment features models with power ratings from 1.5 kVA to 12.0 kVA. All systems
are designed to fit into a standard 19 inch instrument rack. The power sources are suitable for
use as frequency converters as well as sophisticated AC test power systems.
ASX power sources are typically configured with an interchangeable controller. 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 provides all of the manual control
capability, plus a wide variety of control features including program storage, waveform editing,
and remote interface.
Unique to the Models 120ASX and 320ASX is the ability to operate at 150l-n / 300Vl-l. Unique to
the model 3120ASX is the ability to provide full power in either 1, 2, or 3 phase mode of
operation. The nominal (rated) output voltage range for the ASX-Series is 0-125l-n / 250Vl-l.
Available current at specific voltages, as well as maximum output voltage varies by model. Refer
to section 2.1.2 for further details
Optional output transformers are available to provide higher output voltage ranges. Standard
ratios up to 2.5:1 (312/541V) as well as custom ratios are available.
The ASX-Series consists of the basic models listed below.
1. Model 115-ASX - 1.5 kVA model, capable of 1 Phase operation. Single phase output

2.1.2 OUTPUT POWER
OUTPUT VOLTAGE RANGE
DIRECT-COUPLED
The standard output voltage ranges of the ASX-Series are: 0-132 VACl-n for the Models
115-ASX, 160-ASX, 315-ASX, and 360-ASX; 0-135 VACl-n for the Models 140-ASX, 345-ASX,
and 3120-ASX; and 0-150 VACl-n for the Models 120-ASX and 320-ASX, when operated in the
direct-coupled mode. These voltages are stated for nominal input voltage applied.
TRANSFORMER-COUPLED
The output voltage range of the ASX-Series Power Source varies when operated in the
transformer-coupled mode. Maximum output voltage is determined by the transformer turns
ratio. See list below for maximum output voltage vs. turns ratio.
TURNS RATIO MAXIMUM OUTPUT VOLTAGE (No Load)
1.5:1 198 VACl-n Models 115-ASX, 160-ASX, 315-ASX, and 360-ASX
203 VACl-n Models 140-ASX, 345-ASX, and 3120-ASX
2.0:1 264 VACl-n Models 115-ASX, 160-ASX, 315-ASX, and 360-ASX
270 VACl-n Models 140-ASX, 345-ASX, and 3120-ASX
2.5:1 330 VACl-n Models 115-ASX, 160-ASX, 315-ASX, and 360-ASX
338 VACl-n Models 140-ASX, 345-ASX, and 3120-ASX
OUTPUT CURRENT
FULL-RATED CURRENT
The full-rated output current the ASX-Series Power Source is listed below by model number.
Refer to the derating charts of Figures 2.1.2(A-H) for maximum output current at a specific output
form, voltage, or power factor. Output current ratings are scaled appropriately when using
transformer-coupled outputs. Note that the 315-ASX has reduced ratings when the output
magnetics option is installed (the "T" added to the model number designates the output
magnetics option). All other models retain their full-rated output current with the output
magnetics option installed.

OVERLOAD OPERATION
The ASX-Series Power Source will deliver up to 125% of rated RMS output current at 25°C
ambient room temperature, nominal through 10% high input line voltage, and at a power factor
of 0.8. Elevated ambient temperatures, low input line voltage, or power factors between 0.8 and
1.0 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.
