Pacific Power Source expands regenerative AC/DC test platforms to 1.296 MVA

Pacific Power Source on June 18, 2026 said it has upgraded its AGX, RGS and RLS regenerative power test platforms with higher power density, more current capability and larger scalable systems. The changes target aerospace, EV charging, grid, storage and data center testing as engineers face rising power demands. Why it matters: - The expanded platforms let test labs and manufacturers push more power through a smaller footprint. - Higher density and scalability can reduce the need for multiple systems in aerospace, defense, EV charging, energy storage and data center testing. - Regenerative operation can cut energy use, cooling demand and operating costs. What happened: - Pacific Power Source announced major enhancements to its AGX, RGS and RLS regenerative AC/DC power source, grid simulator and load platforms on June 18, 2026. - The expanded product families now deliver up to 24 kVA/kW per 4U module. - The systems scale to 216 kVA/kW per cabinet. - Parallel cabinet systems reach 432 kVA/kW. - Three-phase configurations extend up to 1.296 MVA/MW. The details: - The upgraded platforms support up to 48 Arms per phase from 45 Hz to 200 Hz. - New load optimization options are designed to improve high-frequency testing performance in load mode. - The AGX Series combines AC and DC power sourcing, electronic loading and current source capability. - The AGX Series supports AC, DC, AC+DC and DC+AC operation. - The RGS Series supports advanced grid simulation and compliance testing to IEEE 1547.1 and UL1741 for solar inverters, ESS, EV chargers and distributed energy resources. - The RLS Series provides four-quadrant AC and DC electronic load operation for testing power conversion equipment, batteries, renewable energy systems and power electronics. - The platforms are built on Silicon Carbide technology. - The systems return more than 90% of absorbed energy back to the facility or utility grid. - Pacific Power Source said that lowers energy consumption, cooling requirements and operating costs. - SmartSource Suite lets users automate test sequences, create custom waveforms, execute compliance tests and view real-time measurements through a browser-based interface. - The company said the regenerative platforms are used worldwide for testing aerospace power systems, EV chargers, V2G systems, ESS, solar inverters, power converters and AI data center infrastructure. - More information is available on Pacificpower.com or by emailing sales@pacificpower.com. Between the lines: - The upgrade positions Pacific Power Source around a market that is shifting toward higher-power electrification and more demanding compliance testing. - The emphasis on regenerative design suggests cost and sustainability are becoming part of the buying decision, not just raw output. - The browser-based control layer points to more automated and repeatable lab workflows. What’s next: - Pacific Power Source is now marketing the expanded AGX, RGS and RLS families to customers building or expanding high-power test installations. - Demand will likely center on labs that need scalable three-phase systems for electrification programs and grid-interactive equipment. - The company also listed Julie Tran as the press contact at Pacific Power Source, +1 714-944-0176. The bottom line: - Pacific Power Source is betting that higher density, regeneration and modular scaling will be the new baseline for power test systems.
