PROGRAMMABLE AC POWER SOURCE

MODEL 6400 SERIES

Chroma 6400 Series Pro gram mable AC Powe r

Source uses state of the art PWM technology to

deliver pure, instrument grade AC power at very

low cost ever achieved before. The 6400 AC power

source oers maximum rated power for the output

voltage from 0 to 300VAC, at the frequency from

45 to 1kHz. It is not onl y suit able for commer-

cial applications (47-63Hz), but also for avionics,

marine, and military applications at 400Hz.

The 6400 Series Programmable AC Power Source

generates very clean output with typical distortion

less than 0.3%. With the incorporated of power

factor correction circuit, the 6400 AC Power Source

yields higher eciency and delivers more output

power than competitive instruments. Furthermore,

it is capable of providing high peak repetitive cur-

rent that is required to drive most electronic prod-

ucts with high crest factor input design.

The 6400 AC Power Source uses advanced DSP

circuit to oer precision and high-speed measure-

ment for true RMS voltage, true RMS current, true

power, frequency, power factor, and current crest

factor.

The 6400 AC Power Source is very easy to operate

through the front pan el keypad, or the remote

co nt rol le r via GPI B, RS -232 or A PG (An al og

Programming) interface. The optional interface is

designed as a plug-in card to change the unit in

seconds into a computer controlled system power

source.

Designed with self-diagnostic routine and protec-

tions against over voltage, under voltage, over-

power, over current, over temperature and fan fail,

the instrument has the qualities and reliability that

can suit for the most demanding applications in

production tests, R&D design, and QA verication.

The 6400 Series AC Power Source supplies very clean output with typical output distortion less

than 0.3% THD. The output is transformer isolated (6404 & 6408) providing an

exceptionally low total harmonic distortion without sacrificing efficiency.

Remote sense connections are provided for superb output regulation to

compensate for load line losses while keeping the output at a precise

level regardless of output load condition.

measu re me nt of the outpu t for true

RMS voltage, true RMS cur rent, true power,

frequency, power factor, and curr ent crest

fac tor. These out put mea surements can be

displayed on the

large, easy to read, front panel readout. The 6400 Series

are easy to operate using the front panel keypad, (6404 &

6408) with 9-user programmable output voltage, frequ ency, and

current limit combinations for quick and consistent testing. An optional controller

can be added for GPIB, RS232 or analog programming for completely automated testing applications.

The interface is a plug-in card that can change the 6400 from a manual unit

to a computer-controlled system AC power source.

With the small 5.25 inches height packaged (6404 & 6408), and lightweight, the model 6400 is perfectly suitable for bench top applications where space is at a

premium. The easy to use and easy to read front panel control/readout system makes setup and quick measurements simple. The front panel receptacles can

be used for most line cord plugs without adapters. Rear panel terminals are also provided for hard-wired connections. A temperature controlled fan speed

circuit is used to keep fan noise reduced when operating on the bench or in a quiet lab environment. The 6400 Series can also be easily rack-mounted without

special mounting kits or modifications.

The wide output voltage range of 0-300 VAC (0-500VAC for Model 6460) can be selected for either 0-150 VAC or 0-300 VAC, or set to auto-ranging output

voltage. The 45-1000 Hz output frequency range provides excellent flexibility in a small compact unit with a great performance / cost ratio. The programmable

current limit adds to the flexibility while reducing current flow potential for non-destructive testing easily.

The 6400 Series provides a self-diagnostic routine, easy to set programmable output over voltage limit, input line under voltage protection, output

overpower, over current, over temperature, and fan failure protection.

The 6400 Series offers quality, reliability, and flexibility for the most demanding applications in production tests, R&D, and QA verification.
