The hybrid power contol integrates the negative feedback control (analog control technology), which is NF’s core technology, and intelligent digital control technology. Analog technology is provided when wide-band, high response is required, and digital technology is provided for flexible control according to load condition. The hybrid power control achieves highly stable and robust output by taking full advantage of both analog and digital characteristics.
Basic Performance and Functions
A Variety of Outputs
With AC, full-power output is also available for DC. In the AC+DC mode, an AC wave (sine wave, square wave, or arbitrary waveform) can be super- imposed on the DC output.

Operation mode
Eight output modes, combining two operation modes and four signal source modes can be set. The most appropriate mode for an application can be selected.
Operation modes
Alternating current (AC), direct current (AC + DC)
A peak current up to four times as large as the maximum current (RMS values) can be output at the rated output voltage. The EC series also supports capacitor input load (up to crest factor 4).
Limiter function
Output current limits can be set with positive/negative values, and RMS values. In the evaluation of a prototype, this function is useful for protection when an abnormal current is caused by abnormal operation of the load.
Protection function
The EC series has a built-in function for protecting the power source itself if a problem occurs due to issues such as output overvoltage or overcurrent, power unit trouble, internal control problems. If a problem occurs, it is displayed on the panel and output is turned off.
Mesurement function
The EC series is equipped with high accuracy measurement functions for measuring synchronization frequencies, load power factors, and even the harmonic currents, in addition to the voltage, current and output power. Setting values and measurement values are simultaneously displayed on large-screen display.
Measures
Output voltage (effective, DC average, and peak values)
Output current (effective value, DC average value, peak value, and peak value hold)

Load power factor
Load crest factor (CF)
Output harmonic current* (fundamental wave : 50/60 Hz, up to the 40th order) *This measurement does not comply with the IEC standards.
