1. Safety Precautions
Carefully read the user manual before operation.
1. Check carefully all buttons are positioned correctly before startup.
1) Pause button in correct position in pressed state.
2) ON/OFF in OFF state.
2. Main supply capacity should meet the requirement; otherwise it will affect output power
of amplifier during high current output.
3. Handle the amplifier with great care and follow the symbols on the package: fragile,
handle with care, top (an arrow pointing up), keep dry and protect from shaking.
4. Never operate live signal and load wires with voltage or current output to protect the
safety of equipment and personnel.
5. In case the power outlet for powering up the amplifier does not have protective
ground customer must connect the ground socket to the protective ground at the
test site

2. General Description
PAV15000 is the four-quadrant amplifier with high power applied in the semi-physical
simulation power platform to analyzer the sensitive load, the equipment power adaptability,
and the electric vehicle, etc and provide the technical support and service on the power
quality.
PAV15000 is designed on basis of linearity with quick response, high accuracy and
lower distortion.
There are two types of test modes to meet different testing purposes.
1) Simulation control output
Via the digital simulation system such as RTDS/RT-LAB, it gives accurate dynamic
simulation waveform signal to the amplifiers. The amplifiers output the high and accurate
power to the simulation equipment to simulate the testing.
2) System self-control output
The voltage output can be self-defined by users and edit, adjust the amplitude, the phase
and frequency of each output.

By this way, it reduces the noisy and makes sure the equipment working safely with
longer wiring connection.
3) High accuracy voltage/ current and frequency measurement
The output voltage, frequency and load current measurement can be made.
4) High-Power voltage/ current amplifier modules with good performance
5) Circuit protection
It is designed the self-protection against with the overload/ short-circuited. It recovers
the output only after the fault is cleared.
