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.

4. Functions and Features
4.1 Basic Principle
PAV120Bip consists of the below parts mainly:
a) High-speed differential input circuit for amplifier;
b) Voltage power amplifier module;
c) Detection and alarm circuit: each amplifier has an output distortion detection circuit.
d) Temperature 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.
e) 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 Over-load alarm function
The output voltage distortion and overload auto-detection circuit will protect the voltage
amplifier output overload or short-circuit automatically. It automatically closes amplifier
input/output, and the overload alarm in rear panel lights. After overload and short-circuit
disappear, it restores to working status.
4.2.3 Pause control function
The pause button on the front panel can cut off the amplifier’s signal output. The Pause
indicator will be on and the Run indicator will be off after pressing the Pause button. The
output of amplifier is turned off.
4.2.4 Overheat protection function
When the overheat protection is activated, the amplifier will stop working automatically and
the “Overtemp” indicator will be on and it sends off alarm.

5. How to Use Amplifier
5.1 Wiring
Connect digital simulator system’s D/A output signals to corresponding signal channels of
voltage 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. After all points are confirmed correctly, turn on the amplifier, the power
supply indicator will light and run indicator will flicker. It indicates the amplifier works normal.
5.3 Voltage Output
First, press “Pause” button and connect the voltage output terminals to corresponding
terminals of the tester respectively. And then inactivate the pause function and input
simulation signal, the amplifier will work under voltage amplifying status.
The formula is : Voltage output = Input simulation signal x gain
Notes: 1. Generally don’t’ press high power button (The high power control indicator is off.).
2. Never operate live signal and load cables with voltage or current output to protect
the safety of equipment and personnel.

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.
5.5 Amplifier Test Items
Before putting into market, the amplifier is required to have strictly inspections. The test
items are: function inspection, linearity, load stability, THD, max output power,
amplitude-frequency characteristic, input/output delay and step response, etc.
Please refer to Factory Test Report for the detailed information.
