Description: NA This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are b eing requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The combined synopsis/solicitation number is W91ZLK-04-T-0108. The contractor shall provide quantity of one of the following: Amplifier to drive an existing government owned shaker Model T4000. A DC field supply shall also be required.The amplifier shall be one component of a dynamic shaker test system consisting of the amp, control system, and an electro-dynamic shaker. The amplifier shall be designed to work in conjunction with existing equipm ent by providing all the power necessary to drive the existing T4000 shaker, located approximately 500 feet from the amplifier, to its full capabilities using existing control equipment. The Amplifier shall be capable of driving the T4000 shaker to its ful l potential as detailed in 2.4 The Amplifier shall be capable of driving the existing shaker to 150 percent of the specified maximum velocity during shock testing. This shall be demonstrated in the high field mode. The Amplifier shall be able to make the t ransition between sine, random and shock testing, each at their highest level, without the need for amplifier modification or the need to manually change taps on a transformer. 2.4 Potenial are: Effective frequency range 5 Hz to 2000 Hz, Rated force, sine 40,000 lbs pk, Rated force, random 40,000 lbs rms, Rated velocity 80 in/s, Rated displacement P-P 2 in, Rated displacement shock 2 in, Maximum acceleration 100 g. Random rating s are wideband 20 - 2000 Hz, 3 sigma acceleration peaks, uniform spectral density, with loads of 1000 lbs or greater. The amplifier shall be a solid state digital switching amplifier utilizing the superior efficiency of IBGT output devices. Amplifier sha ll consist of easily removable power modules, each with a minimum power output of 30 KVA. The amplifier shall be capable of operating at reduced power levels with one or more power modules removed. The output of the amplifier shall no be less than 300 KVA . Power amplifier shall be housed in a totally EMI shielded console. All joints are to be sealed with EMI gaskets joining plated or copper clad surfaces. Three phase power line filters to prevent conductive emissions must be included, where the 3 phase power enters the amplifier. The frequency response shall be flat +/- 1 dB from 10 to 2000 Hz. The amplifier shall be capable of driving the existing shaker across its full effective frequency range 5 to 2000 Hz. At full rated output, the acceleration ha rmonic distortion at the shaker shall be less than 15 per cent from 5 Hz to 2000 Hz except for 2 peaks greater than 25 per cent. The noise level of the amplifier shall be at least 60 dB below the full output level. All indicators, adjustments and switche s necessary to monitor and control the amplifier shall be provided at the local operator control panel. This shall include, buttons for startup, sequencing, amplifier gain adjustment, meters for output voltage and current, switching for sine/random mode selection and indicators of amplifier status. This shall also include the ability to bring up and monitor the shaker field current. The amplifier shall be designed to operate from a remote control panel located in and integrated with the existing Unholtz- Dickie VWIN Controller. The amplifier shall be configured to allow computer control from a remote location. The computer shall display the complete power amplifier control panel including all status lights, current/voltage meters, startup and operating s witches and gain control. All switches and controls shall be mouse activated to startup/shutdown and control the amplifier. A power-save mode shall be available to allow the power amplifier to be powered off once the vibration test has finished. The computer shall also allow the operator to select output voltage and output current limits for each test. The computer shall monitor the actual current and voltage and terminate the test if either limit is exceeded. The amplifier shall con tain the necessary hardware to implement a safety interlock system fully integrated with the shaker and slip table. Interlocks shall be provided to shut the system down if any of the following conditions are present: Shaker stroke limit exceeded, Shaker m aximum operating temperature exceeded, Slip table oil pressure failure, Shaker temperature limit exceeded, Cooling system limits exceeded, Shaker field supply failure, Amplifier current limit exceeded ,user selectable at any level at or below the rated a mplifier current, Amplifier voltage limit exceeded user selectable at any level at or below the rated amplifier voltage, Amplifier maximum operating temperature. The input level require to drive the amplifier to full output shall not exceed ten volts peak . Amplifier shall be totally air cooled and include all air handling hardware necessary to allow operating at rated force with ambient air temperatures of eighty degrees F. The amplifier shall operate on the existing utilities listed 480 V +/- 10 percent , 3 phase, 60 Hz 120 V +/- 10 percent, single phase, 60 Hz. Existing shaker cables will be used. Vendor shall provide connectors in the power amplifier console to mate with the existing cables. Physical dimensions of the power amplifier shall not exceed 112 inch long by 35inch deep by 90 inch high. Power amplifier shall be direct coupled to the shaker.
