AC and DC Power Systems
iX Series
AC and DC Power Source and
Analyzer Combination
Integrated System
The iX Series represents a new
type of AC and DC power source that
addresses increasing demands on
test equipment to perform more
functions at a lower cost. By
combining a flexible AC power source
with a high end power analyzer, the
iX Series systems are capable of
handling applications that would
traditionally have required multiple
instruments.
The sleek integrated approach of
the iX Series avoids the cable clutter
that is commonly found in AC test
setups. All connections are made
internally and the need for external
digital multimeters, power harmonics
analyzer and current shunts or
clamps is completely eliminated.
Using a state of the art digital
signal processor in conjunction with
precision high resolution A/D
converters, the iX Series provides
more accuracy and resolution than
can be found in some dedicated
harmonic power analyzers. Since
many components in the iX Series
are shared between the AC source
and the power analyzer, the total cost
of the integrated system is less than
the typical cost of a multiple unit
system.
Easy To Use Controls
The iX Series is completely
microprocessor controlled and can be
operated from an easy to use front
panel keypad. Functions are grouped
logically and are directly accessible
from the keypad. This eliminates the
need to search through various levels
of menus and or softkeys.
A large analog control knob can
be used to quickly slew output
parameters. This knob is controlled
by a dynamic rate change algorithm
that combines the benefits of precise
control over small parameter changes
with quick sweeps through the entire
range.
Applications
With precise output regulation
and accuracy, high load drive current,
multi or single phase output mode
and built-in power analyzer
measurement capabilities, iX Series
AC and DC source/analyzers address
all application areas for AC and DC
power testing. Additional features like
line distortion simulation (LDS),
arbitrary waveform generation and
programmable output impedance
address requirements for product
quality and regulatory compliance
testing.
Waveform Acquisition
Voltage and current waveform
data can be acquired on all three
phases and shown on the LCD
display. Applications include inrush
current measurement and load
characterization.
iX Series - Multi-Function and Multi-Use
Product Evaluation and Test
Increasingly, manufacturers of electronic
equipment and appliances are required to fully
evaluate and test their products over a wide range of
input line conditions. The built-in Line Distortion
Simulation and load measurement system combines
all needed source and measurement functions in an
easy to use system.
Avionics
With an output frequency range to 500 Hz, the
iX Series is well suited for aerospace applications.
Precise frequency control and accurate load
regulation are key requirements in these
applications. The standard IEEE-488 control
interface and SCPI command language provide for
easy integration into existing ATE systems. Since
the iX Series can eliminate the need for three or four
items of instrumentation and only occupies 7 inches
of rack space, cost and space savings provide a
rapid return on investment. Instrument drivers for
popular programming environments such as National
Instruments LabView are available to speed up
system integration.
High Crest Factor
With a crest factor of up to 5:1, the iX Series AC source /
analyzers can drive difficult non-linear loads with ease. Since
many modern products use switching power supplies, they have
a tendency to pull high repetitive peak currents. If the AC power
source used to test these products has insufficient peak current
drive capability, the waveform exhibits voltage distortion. The
5001iX can deliver up to 110 Amps of repetitive peak current (low
range) to avoid this problem.
Remote Control
Standard IEEE-488 and RS232C remote control interfaces
allow programming of all instrument functions from an external
computer. The popular SCPI command protocol is used for
programming. Drivers for several popular instrumentation
programming environments are available to facilitate systems
integration of the iX Series.
Regulatory Testing
As governments are moving to enforce product
quality standards, regulatory compliance testing is
becoming a requirement for a growing number of
manufacturers. The iX Series is designed to meet
AC source requirements for use in Euronorm IEC1000 compliance testing. For flicker testing, the
programmable output impedance capability of the
3001iX, 5001iX and 15003iX can be used to create
the required IEC 725 reference impedance.
Multi-Box Configurations
For high power applications, two or three 5001iX
chassis can be combined to provide 10 to 15 kVA of
single phase power.
Mode-iX Option
A 15003iX three phase configuration can be
ordered with the Mode-iX option. This option allows
automatic switching between single or three phase
output mode. In single phase mode, all current is
available on phase A. The Mode-iX option switches
the output from all three 5001iX amplifiers to a
single output connector. Without the Mode-iX
option, 15003iX systems are configured for three
phase operation.
GUI application program screens for AC Source control and
measurements.

iX Series - Waveform Generation
programmed rate.
Harmonic Waveform Generation
Using the latest DSP (Digital Signal Processing) technology, the iX Series
controller is capable of generating harmonic waveforms to test for harmonics
susceptibility of a unit under test. Included is a Graphical User Interface
program that can be used to define harmonic waveforms by specifying
th
Harmonic waveform, Fund., 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th,11
and 13th.

amplitude and phase for up to 50 harmonics. The waveform data points are
generated and downloaded by the GUI to the AC source through either the
IEEE-488 or RS232C bus and remain in nonvolatile memory. Up to 200
waveforms can be stored and given a user defined name for easy recall.
The three phase configuration iX Series offers independent waveform
generation on each phase allowing three phase anomalies to be programmed.
It also allows simulation of unbalanced harmonic line conditions.
Arbitrary Waveform Generation
Using the provided GUI program or custom software, the user also has the
ability to define arbitrary AC waveforms. The arbitrary waveform method of data
entry provides an alternative method of specifying AC anomalies by providing
specific waveform data points. The GUI program provides a catalog of custom
waveforms and also allows real-world waveforms captured on a digital
oscilloscope to be downloaded to one of the many AC source’s waveform
memories.
Arbitrary waveform capability is a flexible way of simulating the effect of
real-world AC power line conditions on a unit under test in both engineering and
production environments.
iX Series - Transient Generation
The iX Series controller has a powerful AC and DC transient generation system that allows complex sequences of
voltage, frequency and waveshapes to be generated. This further enhances the iX’s capability to simulate AC line
conditions or DC disturbances. When combined with the multiphase arbitrary waveform capabilities, the AC and DC output
possibilities are truly exceptional. In three phase iX system configurations,
transient generation is controlled independently yet time synchronized on all
three phases. Accurate phase angle control and synchronized transient list
execution provide unparalleled accuracy in positioning AC output events.
Transient programming is easily accomplished from the front panel where
clearly laid out menu’s guide the user through the transient definition process.
The front panel provides a convenient listing of the
programmed transient sequence and allows for transient
execution Start, Stop,
Abort and Resume
operations. User defined
transient sequences can
be saved to non-volatile
memory for instant recall
and execution at a later
time.
The included
Transient List Data Entry in GUI program
Graphical User Interface
program supports transient
definitions using a
spreadsheet-like data
entry grid. A library of frequently used transient programs can
be created on disk using this GUI program.

iX Series - Measurement and Analysis
The iX Series is much more than a programmable AC and DC power source. It also
incorporates an advanced digital signal processor based data acquisition system that
continuously monitors all AC source and load parameters. This data acquisition system
forms the basis for all measurement and analysis functions. These functions are
accessible from the front panel and the remote control interface.

Harmonic Analysis
The iX Series provides detailed
amplitude and phase information on up
to 50 harmonics of the fundamental
voltage and current for either one or
three phases. Harmonic content can be
displayed in both tabular and graphical
formats on the front panel LCD for
immediate feedback to the operator.
Alternatively, the included GUI program
can be used to display, print and save
harmonic measurement data. Total
harmonic distortion of both voltage and
current is calculated from the harmonic
data.
Waveform Acquisition
The measurement system is
based on real-time digitization of the
voltage and current waveforms using a
4K deep sample buffer. This time
domain information provides detailed
information on both voltage and current
waveshapes. Waveform acquisitions
can be triggered at a specific phase
angle or from a transient program to
allow precise positioning of the
captured waveform with respect to the
AC source output.
The front panel LCD displays captured
waveforms with cursor readouts. The
included GUI program also allows
acquired waveform data to be
displayed, printed and saved to disk.
