Regenerative Operation
Whenever the RPS is sinking current, either by rapidly down-programming the output, or by
discharging an energy source such as a battery, the unit will direct the excess power back to the ac
mains. You cannot disable the regenerative operation.
During regenerative operation, the power factor of 0.99 is maintained. Sine wave current distortion is
less than 2% at full load. This ensures the quality of the ac signal that is returned to the ac mains.
When an ac mains dropout is sensed, galvanic relays disconnect the ac mains and the unit shuts down.
To safeguard your device under test, the RPS provides "passive anti-islanding" that senses that the
grid is live before regenerating power back to the grid.
