G5.

RSS Programmable Regenerative DC Source Sink Series

The G5.RSS series is bidirectional regenerative and can operate in CV, CC, CP, CR, and Ri-Sim
control modes. It is universally applicable and therefore suitable for all industrial and scientific
applications in laboratories as well as on test benches and production lines. The modular and
finely graded G5.RSS series is characterized by highly dynamic response times, adjustable filter
time constants, and a wide current-voltage range with an auto-ranging factor 3. Optional soft-
ware, programming and communication interfaces as well as safety functions allow the G5.RSS
power supplies to be optimally adapted to special customer application requirements.

Device Types Therefore, the purchase of a REGATRON power supply

is a solid investment for the future.

Applications and Features Control Modes

The high accuracy and dynamics of the G5.RSS series,
as well as the ability to easily change between CV constant voltage
different multi-unit configurations, make this series CC constant current
the ideal power supply solution for bidirectional R+D CP constant power
tasks and test bench applications such as testing of CR constant resistance
power conversion systems (PCS) or testing of Ri internal resistance simulation
converters for energy storage systems (ESS).

G5.RSS Series as P-HIL Power Amplifier

Power-hardware-in-the-loop (P-HIL) simulation inte-
grates physical hardware and software models in a
closed-loop simulation, offering versatile oppor-
tunities to investigate the behavior of complex
systems at different parameter settings.

A typical P-HIL setup includes a fast real-time

computer driving a power amplifier. The G5.RSS series
is best suited for this purpose due to its high dynamics
and a fast analog port. Time analog-in to DSP: <50 μs
