Sorensen - SGX Series 5kW-30kW High Power Modular DC Power Supplies
- High Power Density: Up to 15 kW in 3U, 30 kW in a 6U chassis
- Wide Voltage Range: 0-10V up to 0-1000V, from 4 to 30 kW
- Fast Load Transient Response: Protection from undesired voltage excursions
- Low Ripple and Noise
- Intuitive Touch Screen Display
- Parallelable up to 150 kW
- Sequencing: Free system controller & speed up test
- Low audible noise: Temperature controlled variable speed fans
The Sorensen SGX Series modular DC power supplies represent the next generation of high-power programmable DC power supplies.
The SGX Series DC power supply is designed for exceptional load transient response, low noise, and the highest power density in the industry.
With a full 15kW available down to 20 V output in a 3U package, the SGX leads the industry in power density. The power density is enhanced by a stylish front air intake allowing supplies to be stacked without any required clearance between units.
At the heart of the SGX series DC output power supply is a 5kW power module. Depending on the output voltage, one to six modules can be configured in a single chassis to deliver 5kW to 30kW of power.
Combinations of these chassis can then be easily paralleled to achieve power levels up to 150kW. Paralleled units operate like one single supply providing total system current.

Advanced Intelligent Control
The SGX Series modular power system is operated from the intuitive, easy-to-use front panel touchscreen display. Quickly access output programming parameters, measurements, sequencing, configuration, and system settings from the touchscreen interface. Functions and parameters can be directly selected from the touch screen or by using the encoder selector button.
The control resolution is adjusted by a dynamic rate change algorithm that combines the benefits of precise control over small parameter changes with quick sweeps through the entire range.
Additionally, the instrument can be controlled via LXI Ethernet and RS232 standard control interfaces, as well as through the optional GPIB control interface.

- The LL137 Series provides a focused line of illumination in a passively cooled design.
- Provides a medium intensity level of 280kLux (working distance of 75mm)
- Pre-engineered for expandability in 6” (152mm) increments up to 96” (2.44m).
- Available intensity control provides illuminance adjustability for every 6″ increment via a 0 – 10v input
Note: If only looking for white illumination, our LL167 Series provides a 74% brighter beam in a similar package.
Power switching up to 16A and high voltage mux cards
-
The BL2 Series provides a highly uniform and high intensity, diffuse backlight source, primarily used for creating object silhouettes of high contrast or imaging through semi-translucent materials.
-
BL2 Backlights are pre-engineered for scalability, allowing for size configurations in 1″ increments up to 46″ in length and width.
-
This Backlight series is offered in 5 wavelength options and can be configured with either a polarization or collimation film.
-
As with all Advanced illumination products, this series is built for tailorability while still maintaining a standard lead time of one to three weeks.
-
Each side of a BL2 is equiped with M6 nut channels, allowing for quick and easy mounting. This series comes with our LB111 Mounting Brackets.
