EA-PSB 20500-30 Triple 500V 30A 15kW Programmable Bidirectional DC Power Supply

The EA-PSB 20500-30 Triple from EA Elektro-Automatik is a high-performance programmable bidirectional DC power supply featuring three independent, fully isolated channels in a compact 3U form factor. As part of the PSB 20000 Triple series, this 15 kW total power unit delivers 0-500 V and 0-30 A per channel with autoranging technology, enabling a wide operating range. It operates as both a source and a regenerative sink with up to 95.5% efficiency in sink/source mode and energy recovery back to the grid up to 96%, reducing operational costs. The device accepts 208-480 V ±10% three-phase AC input with active PFC (typical 0.99) and includes built-in USB, 1 Gbit Ethernet, EtherCAT, CAN FD, digital I/O, and Share-Bus interfaces for seamless integration. A function generator with arbitrary waveforms, PV simulation (DIN EN 50530), and fuel cell simulation supports advanced testing. The master-slave bus allows parallel operation of up to eight units for system scalability up to 120 kW. With 1 ms communication speed, forced air cooling, and compliance with EN 61010-1/UL 61010-1, this power supply is ideal for automotive, renewable energy, and industrial applications requiring precise multi-channel bidirectional power.
