MagnaDC xGen Platform

SLx Series Digital 1U Programmable DC Power Supply

High-Density 1.5 kW to 10 kW DC Power Processing with 16-Bit Digital Control & Silicon Carbide (SiC) Topology.

1U Rack Mount • 1.5 kW to 10 kW • 5 V to 3000 V

Next-Generation High-Power Density for Global B2B Integration

The SLx Series represents Magna-Power's most advanced 1U programmable DC power supply architecture. Engineered for high-reliability industrial automation, automated test equipment (ATE) racks, and continuous laboratory workloads, the SLx Series offers 171 standard models delivering up to 600 A or 3000 Vdc in a ultra-compact 1.75-inch chassis.

Rugged Current-Fed Conversion

Utilizes an inductor-based current-fed topology paired with wide-bandgap SiC power semiconductors. Inherent surge immunity prevents fast current spikes and transformer saturation during dynamic loads or fault conditions.

16-Bit MagnaLINK™ DSP Control

Fully digital distributed control architecture providing 16-bit programming and measurement resolution. Features native 100 ppm stability, programmable slew rate controls, and field-tunable gain scheduling.

Seamless Master-Slave Expansion

Dual MagnaLINK high-speed digital ports allow plug-and-play paralleling of up to 16 units under a single master controller, expanding current capability up to 9,600 A without system recalibration.

Engineering Superiority

Built for Mission-Critical Industrial & Scientific Applications

Magna-Power’s vertically integrated manufacturing facility in Flemington, New Jersey ensures that every SLx unit undergoes full magnetic winding, sheet metal fabrication, SMT assembly, and full-load burn-in prior to global shipment.

Target Diagnostics™ Matrix

Rear-mounted LED diagnostics mirror internal circuit status across all major functional blocks. Engineers can troubleshoot system state without removing the top cover or unmounting from the rack bay.

Programmable Safety Limits

Multilayered protection features independent Over-Voltage Trip (OVT), Over-Current Trip (OCT), thermal monitoring, 5V interlock input, and a dedicated 24V hardware emergency stop interrupt.

Isolated External User I/O

Standard 26-pin DB-26 connector delivers isolated 0-10V analog inputs/outputs, 5V digital logic control signals, and a 2 kHz high-speed analog channel for real-time hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing.

Full Continuous 50°C Rating

Designed with conservative thermal margins to operate at full rated power continuously up to 50°C ambient temperature, eliminating power derating in harsh plant conditions.
