Instruction manual

1. INTRODUCTION AND SPECIFICATIONS

1.1. INTRODUCTION

This instruction manual contains information on the installation, operation, calibration, and

maintenance of all power systems that use the FCS-18-P.

1.2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The FCS-18-P is a high efficiency power source that provides a low distortion output. The

output can be configured in either a single or three-phase configuration.

A number of FCS-18’s can be configured to supply full output power up to 54KVA. Table 1-1

shows the output VA per phase for each of the available power system models.

Full power is available at the maximum output voltage on any of five voltage ranges. The

standard voltage range is 135V. Four optional voltage ranges are available: 156V, 270V,

312V or 400V using autotransformers.

The FCS-18 is illustrated in Figure 1-1.
