Posted by Batter Fly 01.07.2025 0 Comment(s) 793 Testy i Pomiary,

KEYSIGHT MP4300A Series Modular Solar Array Simulator (SAS) is the most advanced and compact solution for emulating photovoltaic arrays in satellite, aerospace, and power electronics applications. The 2U-high mainframe accommodates up to six SAS modules, delivering up to 10 kW of output power and supporting the simulation of multiple PV segments in a single system. Designed for flexibility and performance, the MP4300A Series enables fast, accurate, and repeatable testing of satellite power systems and PV inverters under all possible environmental and operational conditions.

  • Up to 160 V, 20 A, and 1.4 kW per module (auto-ranging and fixed-range options)
  • High channel density: up to 6 modules per 2U mainframe
  • Up to 10 kW total output power per mainframe
  • Three simulation modes: SAS (Simulator), Table (up to 1024 points), and Fixed
  • Ultra-fast I-V curve change (<8 ms) for eclipse/spin simulation
  • Built-in voltage and current measurement on every output
  • Advanced protection: over-voltage, over-current, over-temperature, fast fault shutdown (<10 μs)
  • Modern connectivity: LAN, USB-C, and optional GPIB; LXI Class C compliant
  • Intuitive 5” touchscreen interface for rapid setup and monitoring
  • Rear-loading modules and quick disconnects for easy maintenance
  • Available as a stand-alone instrument or integrated turn-key system

Compactness and Power Without Compromise
MP4300A mainframes offer up to 6 SAS channels in just 2U racks, with total power up to 10 kW. With its modularity, fast turnaround (<8 ms) and intuitive touch interface, it is the ideal solution for testing satellite systems and advanced photovoltaic applications in small spaces.

Modularity and performance for every need
The MP4300A series SAS modules - MP4361A, MP4362A, MP4351A and MP4352A - offer up to 1.4 kW each, with voltages up to 160 V and currents up to 20 A. All modules are self-ranging, allow precise simulation of I-V curves via SAS, Table and Fixed modes, and guarantee ultra-fast (<8 ms) curve changes. Rear installation and quick disconnects simplify maintenance, while integrated voltage and current measurement on each output ensures total control in every test.

Highlights

  • Rapidly test satellite power systems under all space conditions: fast I-V curve changes, quick recovery, and accurate emulation of PV segments
  • Modular design: up to six 1.4 kW modules per mainframe, with both auto-ranging and fixed-range options
  • Industry-leading power density: up to 8.4 kW in just 2U rack space
  • Autoranging output for maximum flexibility and two-quadrant operation (source and sink)
  • Intuitive 5” touchscreen for configuration and real-time monitoring of all outputs
  • Comprehensive protection and rapid fault response for DUT safety
  • Modern interfaces: USB, LAN, and optional GPIB
  • Ideal for R&D, production, and system integration in aerospace, defense, and energy
