2. General Description
The power amplifier for digital simulator in power system is required to have high linearity,
quick response, be available to all kinds of capacitive, inductive and resistive loads.
Generally power amplifier consists of two types of amplifiers: linear power amplifier and
switching power amplifier. The linear power amplifier has the strengths of high linearity,
quick response, high accuracy, good electromagnetic compatibility and the weakness of bad
performance in high current and high power cases. The switching power amplifier is quite fit
in high current, high power devices with its strength of high efficiency, but it’s weak in
linearity, small signal noise, DC offset, drift, transient response, load driving capability
aspects, which are very difficult to fix.
PAC60Cip is specially designed for R&D of power system simulation. It solves the problems
of high power of linear power amplifier and accuracy of high current output. It is adapt to
various capacitive and inductive load.

4. Functions and Features
4.1 Basic Principle
PAC60Cip consists of the below parts mainly:
1) High-speed differential input circuit for amplifier;
2) Current power amplifier module;
3) Detection and alarm circuit: each amplifier has output open-circuit and distortion
circuit detection.
4) Protection circuit: Turn off the amplifier when the temperature is too high; It will
resume working when it is cooled down to a reasonable degree.
5) Cooling fan: when the temperature is quite low, the fan will work at a low speed for
prolonging the fan’s life-span and reducing working noise.
4.2 Functions and Features
4.2.1 Differential input circuit
The differential input circuit can reduce the influence of the common mode noise to make it
possible that use long wires to connect across the amplifier and signal source, which will
reduce mutual effects between all amplifiers during output to guarantee the operation safety
of the simulator.

4.2.2 Open-circuit alarm function
When one current output is open-circuit or wave distortion, the alarm “I1, I2, I3, I4, I5, and
I6”in“Current Output” on front panel will light.
4.2.3 Pause control function
The pause button on the front panel can cut off amplifier’s signal input and amplifier output.
The output current is zero.
4.2.4 Overheat protection function
When the overheat protection is activated, the amplifier will stop working automatically and

5. How to Use Amplifier
5.1 Wiring
Connect digital simulator system’s D/A output signals to corresponding signal channels of
current input (Refer to the Definition of terminal leads). Pay attention that the shielded layer
of the signal wire at simulator side should be grounded.
5.2 Running
Check the power supply is normal before energizing the amplifier, and the polarity of input
signal is correct. Turn on the power on the front panel after all is ready.
5.3 Current Output
Refer to the Definition of terminal leads for details.
First, press “Pause” button and connect the current output terminals to corresponding
terminals of the tester respectively. And then inactivate the pause function and input
simulation signal, the amplifier will output related current.
The formula is : Current output = Input simulation signal x gain
5.4 Amplifier Off
Stop simulation signal input firstly if users stop using amplifier. Press “Pause” buttons, and
cut off all connections of amplifier and load, lastly turn off power.
