SEV 240 Series

Products

  • Air Cooled Series
  • Water Cooled Series

The SEV 240 Series of Shakers are matched with the DSA 4K and DSA 6K Series of Power Amplifiers. The Power Amplifier is assembled in a single 19-inch industrial rack of 30-unit height which houses the power transformer, high voltage rectification, power modules for the armature, field power supply, starters for cooling systems and oil pumps, along with all its control and protection assemblies.
