AMETEK Programmable Power is pleased to announce the new Sorensen™ Modular Intelligent-Bidirectional Energy AMplified (Mi-BEAM) Series.

Performance, Power & Safety

The Mi-BEAM Series is the newest addition to the AMETEK Programmable Power portfolio of high-power testing solutions. It is designed to test today’s complex, high-power electronics in various automotive, energy storage, industrial, and aerospace applications. This platform covers all test needs through the product life cycle, from advance research and development (R&D) to design validation and production test requirements.

The Mi-BEAM Series features complete DC source and sink capabilities with power levels from 12 kW to 37 kW. It is fully scalable up to 1.2MW with parallel systems. The available voltage ranges of 600V, 1,500V, and 2,000VDC in a 4U rack-height chassis provide full power up to 150A within a single system.
