2. General
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.
PAV120Bi is specially designed for R&D of power system simulation. It is adapt to various
capacitive and inductive load. There are 6-phase voltage outputs with max. 120VRms per
phase and max. output power 60VA..

4. Functions and Features
4.1 Basic Principle
PAV120Bi consists of the below parts mainly:
1) High-speed differential input circuit for amplifier;
2) High-performance voltage power amplifier module;
3) Distortion detection and alarm circuit. Each amplifier has the overload or output
distortion detection circuit. When the overload or short-circuit situation disappears, the
amplifier will resume to work automatically.
4) Temperature protection circuit. It will terminate the amplifier as soon as the
temperature of the amplifier reaches dangerous degree and will let the amplifier resume to
work automatically when it has been cooled down to a reasonable level.
5) Temperature-controlled fan. Fan will work at low speed if amplifier temperature is
certain low, which is benefit for prolonging its service life and reducing working noise.

PAV120Bi Power Amplifier User Manual

4.2 Functions
1) 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.
2) Automatic output voltage distortion and overload detection circuit, which is quite capable
to protect voltage amplifier against output overload or short-circuit fault. When the overload
and short circuit situation disappears, the amplifier can resume to work automatically. If
overload or short-circuit occurs, the amplifier will be terminated automatically and the
overload alarm light on the front panel will turn on.
3) Pause control function (PAUSE). The pause button on the front panel can cut off the
signal input of the amplifier, pressing the pause button to pause the output of the amplifier.
And resume the output after pressing Pause again.
4) When the overheat protection is activated, the input of the amplifier will be terminated and
the “Overheat” alarm light on the front panel will be on.

＊＊＊:
LPF: Low-pass filter. A low-pass filter (LPF) is a filter that passes signals with a
frequency lower than a selected cutoff frequency and attenuates signals with frequencies
higher than the cutoff frequency. The output response time is delayed around 200us.
Please refer to the Terminal Definition below for more details.
Test: It is used for calibration purpose. When the calibration signal is input, all the outputs
will be the same for calibration convenience.
