PXe-S Series Single Phase Static Frequency Converter | SFC
PXe-110000-S Series
PX Electronics PXe-110000-S Series single phase static frequency converters provide compact AC frequency conversion for laboratories, test benches, avionics workshops, marine equipment and specialist single phase loads. Designed for weight and compactness for 50Hz to 60Hz, 60Hz to 50Hz and selected 400Hz output requirements, the range allows engineers to operate or validate equipment under the correct supply frequency without relying on utility power and mains conditions.
Compact models are available for smaller technical installations, while higher-rated systems can be configured for continuous-duty operation, voltage matching and remote monitoring. Typical uses include product testing, operation of imported equipment, export validation, aerospace equipment checks, and controlled laboratory power applications.
Technical Highlights for Single Phase Frequency Conversion:
50Hz, 60Hz and 400Hz output options
Supports common single phase frequency conversion requirements, including 50Hz to 60Hz, 60Hz to 50Hz and optional 400Hz configurations for specialist applications.
Solid-state double conversion design
AC to DC to AC conversion using IGBT PWM technology provides a lightweight yet stable output frequency and controlled AC power for test and operational use.
Harmonic Mitigation Strategy
Optional 12-pulse and 18-pulse rectifier technology reduces input current harmonic distortion by cancelling dominant lower-order harmonics, improving supply compatibility and overall power quality.
Clean sine-wave output
Designed to provide low-distortion AC output suitable for sensitive equipment, laboratory instruments and frequency-dependent electrical loads.
Integrated isolation transformer
Output transformer isolation helps provide electrical separation between input and output, while reducing noise and supporting safer equipment integration.
Compact installation formats
Smaller models are suited to benches, laboratories, racks, portability and workspaces where bench space is limited.
Front panel monitoring and control
Displays key operating values such as voltage, current, frequency and system status for straightforward operation.
Built-in converter protection
Protection functions include overload, short circuit, over-temperature, over-voltage over-power for abnormal input or output conditions.
PXe-110000-S Series Configuration:
PXe-110000-S Series single-phase static frequency converters can be configured based on the available site supply, required output voltage, output frequency, load rating, and installation format. Standard conversion duties include 50Hz and 60Hz operation, with 400Hz and other specialist frequency outputs available where required.
The range is suitable for compact bench and laboratory use, but can also be specified for higher-power single-phase applications where continuous operation, voltage matching or equipment compatibility is required. The output voltage and frequency can be fixed or adjustable, depending on the test requirements and the connected load.
Each converter uses solid-state IGBT PWM conversion with transformer isolation and sine-wave AC output. Front-panel metering provides quick visibility into voltage, current, and frequency, while optional interfaces such as RS-232, RS-485, Ethernet, or GPIB can be included for remote control or automated testing.
Enclosure options can be selected to suit the installation, including compact bench units, rack-mounted systems, floor-standing cabinets or mobile arrangements for workshop and service use.

PXe-110000-S Series Order Codes:
A product order code can be derived from the main ordering information using the structure below:
Generic order code is based on this format: PXe-110000-S, and all PXE order codes start with the six digits like 110005 in this case, indicating 1ph-input 1ph-output and 5kVA
For example a 1 phase in 50Hz, 1 phase out, 10kVA, 60Hz unit = PXE-110010-S
PXE-[110000]-[S]-[INPUT]-[OUTPUT]-[RATING]-[ENCLOSURE]-[CONTROL]
PXE-[110010]-[S]-[1P230V50]-[1P115V60]-[10KVA]-[IP22]-[RS232]
This would represent:
(PXE-110010-S) – PX Electronics Static Frequency Converter 10kVA
(1P230V50) – 1 phase, 230V, 50Hz input
(1P115V60) – 1 phase, 115V, 60Hz output
(10KVA) – 10kVA rating
(IP22) – IP22 enclosure
(RS232) – Control
For a manually controlled standard enclosure version, the part number may look like this:
