Advanced PWM Technology

Chroma AC power source 61500 series is able to provide the highest

power density by its superior PWM mode design and the incorporated

power factor correction function.

AC/ DC output Capability

Chroma AC power source 61500 series provide output DC component for simulating AC voltage with DC offset condition. It can test the unbalance input

current for rectified load. Users also can use an optional DC noise filter to get low noise and good stability DC voltage for testing.

Comprehensive Measurements

Chroma AC power source 61500 series has built in a 16-bit measurement circuit and firmware utilities to measure the steady and transient responses of true

RMS voltage, current, true power, VA(apparent power), VAR(reactive power), power factor, current crest factor, peak repetitive current and inrush current.

Using the advanced DSP technology, it can measure up to 40 orders of current harmonics. It makes 61500 series not only a power source but also a powerful

analyzer.

Power Line Disturbance Simulation

In addition to the steady output voltage and frequency programming, Chroma AC power source 61500 series provides powerful functions to simulate all

kinds of power line disturbance conditions. The STEP and PULSE modes offer an easy and convenient method to execute a single step or continuous output

changes. The changes may be triggered by an internal or external event. With this capability, it is easy to simulate power line disturbances such as cycle

dropout, transient spike, brown out and etc.

The LIST Mode extends this function for more complex waveform generator needs. Up to 100 sequences with different start-end conditions, that can

perform almost any waveform by AC and DC components. It also allows users to synchronize external events as well as measurement devices with output

changes

Harmonics, Interharmonics Synthesis

Traditional type of AC source only allows users to composite integer orders of harmonic components into a periodic harmonics distortion waveform. IEC

61000-4-13 standard requires not only the harmonics waveform,

but also interharmonics simulation. This means the fundamental

frequency will incorporate with components frequencies between

harmonic s frequencies. Ch ro ma AC po wer source 61500 series

uses advanced DSP technology to synthesis the harmonics and

interharmonics waveforms. Therefore, it is capable of generating

a non-per iod ic harm oni c distorte d wave form to perfo rm IEC

61000-4-13 compliance test with an easy-use software.

APPLICATIONS

Simulate AC Power Distortion

More and more electronics manufactures have expanded their business to acquire worldwide product distribution. When a problem is identified, sometimes

it is necessary to check if the products are susceptible to ac line disturbances. However, precious time would be wasted on gathering and transferring test

equipment, man power and other resources to do a simple

onsite test. The pur po se of this application is to prov id e a

solution using Chroma Power Analyzer 6630 to measure the

voltage harmonics of the ac main on site. All recorded data

can be sent to the lab. According to the data, users can use

synthesis function of AC source 61500 series to re-build the

original distorted waveform. It can help engineers quickly point

out the problem and come up with a solution.

61500 series can be used to test aircraft electrical equipment.

Chroma also provi des sof twar e for AC powe r par t tes t of

3-Phase Mode and Series Conecting for High Voltage Output

The 61500 series AC source provides a 3-PHASE mode to let users connect 3 units for 3-phase output application. Users can set a unit as the Master, and set

others the phase angle 120/240 degree as the Slaves. The Master unit will keep on Fixed mode and send a signal for synchronizing Slaves. Now, more and

more UUTs need to test AC line transient with high voltage > 300V. An external boost transformer might raise the voltage, but the serious loading effect will

make the voltage waveform with large distortion. Users can connect 2 units of 61500 in series and set the phase angle to zero (see figure) in 3-PHASE mode.

In this way, users can program a 220V/0.5sec superimposed on 230V to get a 450V transient voltage easily.
