The original synopsis for this acquisition, published 11 June 97 and listed as solicitation number N00164-97-Q-0268 is hereby amended as follows. The quantity for Transistor Devices P/N RBL-400-600-4000DC, or equal, has been revised to 9 each. In addition to the previous two line items, the Navy also requires a quantity of 7 each Electronic loads, Transistor Devices P/N RBL-400-300-2000 or equal. The salient characteristics for this item are as follows: AC input 120 VAC +/- 10%, 48-62 hz; Maximum operating ranges, current 0-300 Amps DC minimum, voltage 0-400 volts DC minimum, resistance 0.0067 ohms to infinity minimum, power 0-2000 watts minimum. Operating modes and ranges: The load shall be capable of operating in a minimum of three current ranges to improve resolution when testing at lower than the units maximum full scale rating. Constant voltage: the load shall be capable of operating in a minimum of three voltage ranges to improve resolution when testing at lower than the units maximum full scale rating. Constant Resistance: the load shall be capable of operating in two resistance ranges for each voltage and current range to improve resolution when testing at lower than the units maximum full scale rating. Constant power: 0-2000 Watts. Pulse mode: pulse added on top of DC set point. Frequency 1 Hz to 20 kHz; duty cycle 10% to 90%. The load shall be controllable locally or remotely. An external 0 to 10 volt DC analog signal shall yield a 0 to full scale load in all operating modes and ranges. Remote programming input impedance 300k ohm minimum. The load shall be manually adjustable. Program response: the slew rate of the load shall be adjustable between 10ms to 10 ms for a 0 to full scale transition to optimize response for a variety of source characteristics. The road shall be capable of sensing source voltage remotely to compensate for line losses in the constant resistance or constant power modes. The load shall be capable of connecting or disconnecting the load inputs based on an external control signal when operating in the remote mode. Master/slave parallel operation: the load shall be capable of operating in parallel with like units to increase power and current ranges and shall be controllable in a master/slave configuration such that the slave units receive all control information (including operating mode, range and load value) from the master unit. The load shall limit current and power and disconnect in an over voltage or over temperature condition to prevent damage. Over voltage limit 105% of full scale voltage. Over current limit 105% of full scale current. Overpower limit 2100 watts minimum. Load isolation 10 M ohm minimum at 500 VDC to earth ground. Current Sample output: The load shall have a voltage signal output that is proportional to the load current. Rear panel connections: load connection, the load shall have studs or busbars on the rear of the unit for the load connection. AC power input or cord shall be on the rear of the unit. The remote programming connection shall be located on the rear panel. The remote sense connection shall be located on the rear panel. The remote on/off control connection shall be located on the rear panel. All connections providing master/slave parallel operation shall be located on the rear panel. Front panel indicators: load voltage and current: the load voltage and current must be displayed on the front of the load. The displays must be a minimum of 3 1/2 digits. Fault indicators: over voltage, Over current, overpower and over temperature conditions or a load fault must be indicated on the front of the load. An indicator must be located on the front of the load to indicate that the load is loading. Front panel controls: Mode select switch: a control must be included to select the mode of operation. Range select switches: controls must be located to select the current, voltage and resistance ranges. Local/remote switch: a control must be included to select local or remote mode of control. A control must be located on the front panel to adjust the load while in the local control mode. Slave control: a control must be located on the front panel to place the unit in the slave mode when being controlled by a master unit in a parallel configuration. The load must be air cooled. The load must fit in standard 19 inch width racks with rack mount flanges. The dimensions of the load(s) are not to exceed 8.75 inches in height and 27 inches in depth. Principles of operation: electronic loads regulate an electrical discharge and dissipate the energy through a controlled biasing of multiple parallel transistors. With proper control, the electrical discharge profile will duplicate a real world application without using actual hardware. The loads will be used to functionally test a variety of remotely activated, primary batteries used in missiles such as Standard Missile and Harpoon for the purposes of qualification, lot acceptance, engineering and surveillance. The loads will be used with a VXIbus based control/data acquisition system. The electronic load shall use Field EffectTransistor (FET) technology as this improves operation at low voltage levels and improves frequency response compared to Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT) technology. Delivery is required FOB NSWC Crane within 30 days after contract award.
