ETS Solutions: Replacement Shaker Amplifiers
Supplying replacement amplifiers is an important part of the service offered to our customers. With well over 400 replacement systems successfully installed on customers' sites around the world since the program began in December 2008, ETS Solutions has the knowledge and expertise to perfectly match any 3rd party shaker. Our dedicated engineering team will ensure the new amplifier is a perfect match to the existing shaker with no loss of performance and no compatibility risks.
Many customers have already benefited from the ETS Solutions Replacement Amplifier Program. By upgrading from older inefficient amplifiers to the new IPA Series Power Amplifiers operators can gain benefits that the latest technology can offer. Older shaker systems are revived and the equipment useful life extended.
The IPA series is our 4th generation high performance PWM switching (Class-D) power amplifier designed for continuous operation with any shaker system in the vibration testing industry. The Intelligent Power Amplifier) series amplifiers have incorporated many new features and designs. The IPA amplifier uses a large touch screen user interface and the latest FPGA with DSP technology which is designed to drive and monitor its IGBT power modules output. A completely new design concept is taken to build-in a dedicated FPGA-PWM controller into each power module. The high-speed FPGA-PWM controller handles a closed loop digital signal processed pulse width modulation driving circuit to the IGBTs. An error control logic in the FPGA-PWM controller handles low output distortion with fast over-current and short-circuit protection on the IGBTs. The FPGD-PWM controller incorporates a synchronous phase logic control to ensure all power modules operate in phase and its output current are balanced. The touch screen control provides clear and easy interface on the amplifier control and monitoring. It is also capable of remote control and monitoring function via the internet. This makes the IPA series amplifier the most user friendly, reliable and high-performance switching amplifier for shaker system in the market. The amplifier outputs range from 30 kVA to 1,200 kVA.
