UniTrain-I extended power supply

Supplementary power supply unit for UniTrain-I system. This
power supply unit is used in addition to the basic power supply
unit where variable higher-power alternating voltages, adjustable
higher-power direct voltages or a three-phase current system with
variable frequencies and amplitudes are required for experiments.
The UniTrain-I Interface is required for the power supply
generation functions. Adjustment is carried out with virtual

instruments.
