  • Page 20: Limitations And Protections

    Example: A CSA96 providing 20A at 200Vpp with a sinus waveform (1kVA) to an ideal inductor consumes less than 40W due only to the power components losses of the amplifier. If the inductor is non-ideal, the amplifier will also deliver the active power (RI²). This active power cannot be higher than the maximum power of the power supply (600W).
  • Page 21: Buffer Capacitor Extension

    In this case, it may be smarter to add a buffer capacitor extension rather than a rheostat since it may be smaller and more efficient. Ask Cedrat Technologies if the calculated energy needed is larger than may be smaller and more efficient. Ask Cedrat Technologies if the calculated energy needed is larger than may be smaller and more efficient.
