The Sorensen™ Modular Intelligent-Bidirectional Energy AMplified (Mi-BEAM) Series delivers high-performance DC source and sink capabilities for advanced test and power-conversion applications. Available in 10 kW, 12.5 kW, 20 kW, 25 kW, 30 kW and 37.5 kW models, Mi-BEAM supports output-voltage classes from 80 V to 2,000 V and bidirectional current up to ±1,000 A per unit in a compact 4U chassis. The platform can be paralleled to provide system power up to 8.6 MW+, supporting scalable battery testing, e-mobility, renewable-energy, industrial, semiconductor and AI data center power-validation applications.
Control via Front Panel Touchscreen and Digital or Analog Control Interfaces
The Mi-BEAM Series can be operated from an intuitive front-panel touchscreen that allows users to set up, control and monitor output programming parameters, supervisory and set-point limits, measurements and system settings. Standard communication and control interfaces include LAN, USB 2.0, RS-232C, CAN, isolated analog programming and monitoring, and a SCPI-compliant command set. IEEE-488 is available as an option.
