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 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.
Product Information
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 110010 in this case, indicating 1ph-input 1ph-output and 10kVA
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]

Key information includes the available input supply voltage and frequency, output voltage and frequency, load power rating kVA, load type, knowledge of starting or inrush current, indoor/outdoor operating environment and any control or communication requirements like EtherNet RS485
Static Frequency Converter (SFC) fault diagnostic systems work by monitoring temperature, voltage, current, power and phase loss. These errors are written to Non-Volatile RAM (NVRAM) for later viewing. SIL Safety Integrity Level "Watch-Dog" options are available for independent monitoring and reporting
Watch-dog or independent fault-monitoring systems are available for monitoring and reporting the health of Static Frequency Converters, particularly high kVA units. These autonomous fault diagnostic systems work by monitoring temperature, voltage, current, power, and phase loss.
