Data Sheet
Programmable AC Power Source
Model 9801
The 9801 is both a programmable AC power
source and measurement tool in a compact
benchtop package. This fully programmable linear
AC source delivers up to 300 VA through its
universal line output terminal on the front and
output connector on the rear. The output can be
varied from 0 to 300 V with 0.1 V resolution,
with adjustable start and stop phase angles from
0 to 360 degrees and maximum current of 3 A.
The output frequency can be adjusted from
45 Hz to 500 Hz. The bright VFD display shows
Vrms, Irms, Ipeak, frequency, power factor (PF),
apparent power, true power and elapsed output
time.
The AC source provides a power line
disturbance (PLD) simulator, list mode, and
sweep mode for simulation of common power
grid faults and disturbances. A built-in dimmer
function is also available for testing motors and
LEDs.
List mode can be used to generate sequences of
waveforms such as surges, sags, and frequency
disturbances. The programmed list can be
triggered from the front panel or via BNC
connector on the rear.
Standard USB, RS232, and LAN interfaces can
be used to remotely control the source via a PC.
Free application software and LabVIEW driver are
available to reduce programming time and
increase productivity.
Common applications
The 9801 AC power source is suitable for
evaluating transformers, TRIACs, SCRs and
passive components as well as production, R&D,
service, and pre-compliance testing.
