Preen AFC Series

Equipment built for one country's grid frequency doesn't automatically work on another's — a product designed for 60Hz operation needs to be tested (or actually powered) at 50Hz before it can be sold or deployed in a 50Hz market, and vice versa. Preen's AFC series addresses exactly this: an AC power source and frequency converter purpose-built for utility grid simulation and voltage/frequency conversion, covering standard 45-65Hz operation plus fixed 100Hz, 120Hz, 200Hz, 240Hz, or 400Hz options for export product testing and operating imported equipment on a foreign grid frequency.

Unlike some high-power AC sources that reach their top output only through paralleled modules, the AFC scales up to 2000kVA from a single chassis — a meaningful practical difference where facility space, cabling complexity, or system reliability considerations favour fewer, larger units over many smaller paralleled ones. Efficiency reaches up to 90% at maximum power, and the AFC handles 100% unbalanced three-phase loads alongside simultaneous single-phase and three-phase device operation, useful where a facility or production line runs mixed load types from the same power source.

A 10.1-inch or 7-inch touch screen (depending on model) combines with six hot-key groups for fast recall of stored voltage and frequency settings — relevant for repeat production testing where the same handful of test configurations get used repeatedly throughout a shift — alongside RS-232/RS-485 remote control for automated or software-driven operation.
