with the programmable controller. Higher power configurations consisting of multiple units
operated in parallel are also covered by this user manual. Such models are 10001iX, 10002iX,
15003iX and 30003iX.

1.1 General Description

The 3001i, 5001i, 3001iX, and 5001iX are high efficiency, lightweight AC power sources that
provide a precise output with low distortion. Older generation i Series have two voltage ranges,
either 0-135V or 0-270V. The iX Series and the newer generation i Series offer two sets of
ranges, 0-135/0-270 and 0-150/0-300. Full power is available at the maximum output voltage for
all ranges. Two or three 5001i/iX units can be connected in parallel as a single-phase system for
10 kVA or 15 kVA respectively. Three or six units can be connected as a three-phase system.
They can be operated with AC or DC output. The iX Series also offers AC+DC output mode.
