Power Amplifiers*

Sentek Dynamics’ PAE Series air-cooled, digital switching power amplifiers utilize an intelligent logic control system that assures maximum performance, safety, and reliability. Standard amplifier outputs range from 20 to 660 kVA. Interlocks to prevent shaker damage or operator injury include: Over-voltage, Under-voltage, Over-current, Amplifier Over-temperature, Shaker Over-temperature, Over-travel, Phase Failure, and Power-module Fault. The amplifier provides drive power to the shaker, field coils, blower unit and other ancillary components.

Features / Advantages

  • High conversion efficiency > 90%

  • Low harmonic distortion < 0.5% at typical testing frequencies

  • Designed for continuous use over extended periods of operation

  • LCD touchscreen for increased user control, status monitoring, and diagnostic messages

  • Compact power-modules with high-output design

  • Selectable BNC connection on front panel and rear cabinet for drive input

  • Meets or exceeds international requirements for safety and EMC

  • Intelligent system cooling for efficient and proper cooling

  • Reduced electrical noise interference

  • Emergency stop (E-stop) on front panel

  • Optional remote control panel (RCP) that duplicates functionality of amplifier front panel

Power Modules

Designed with the latest, field-proven MOSFET technology, each power-modules output 20 kVA. Design features include: heatsinks and fans to allow safe, continuous operation at high output for extended periods of time; and built-in operation and fault LED lights to provide a quick source to identify failed components; interchangeable, modular design for easy replacement if required. Additionally, the maximum time between failures for these modules is significantly higher (over 300,000 hours)

Quality Components and Testing

PAE series amplifiers are designed and assembled with high quality components from globally recognized manufacturers such as Siemens, Schneider Electric, and others. All amplifiers are subject to rigorous in-process inspection before system acceptance testing to ensure performance, safety, and compliance to established standards.

Replacement Amplifiers

Sentek Dynamics’ PAE Series amplifiers can also be used to replace most other manufacturers obsolete, inefficient power amplifiers.  The PAE Series amplifiers are nearly twice as efficient as older air and water-cooled amplifiers and provide a significant savings in power consumption and electrical bills.
