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
