One unit becomes the master while the rest serve as auxiliary units. Users can combine up to six units to achieve 9,000 VA per phase of output power. Other unique platform benefits are Auto-Paralleling and Clock/Lock to achieve higher output power and multi-phase configuration. In addition, iX2 current-doubling technology eliminates a common need to buy multiple sources or overpowered sources to run tests at different voltage levels, such as when performing low line voltage testing. That allows Asterion to maintain maximum power throughout the voltage range, making it unmatched in delivering full output power over such a wide voltage range.

With iX2, as the output voltage decreases from maximum to one-half maximum, Asterion’s available output current increases up to two times the rated output current. The Asterion is no exception with up to 1500VA in a 1U (44.45mm/1.75in) height package that is two to three times the power density of comparable, competitive power sources.Īt the heart of Asterion’s breakthrough performance is AMETEK’s powerful new iX2™ current-doubling technology.

Asterion offers users a compelling combination of intelligence, performance, and modularity that make it the most adaptable and affordable platform available today.ĪMETEK has long been known for supplying power sources with leading power density. Asterion relies on a variety of technical innovations that allow it to be one of the most powerful AC sources on the market. AMETEK’s initial platform launch is for its California Instruments Asterion TM AC Power Source, available in 500VA, 750VA and 1500VA power levels.
