AC POWER
Compact AC Power
With European and US outlet sockets to connect the load, the 801P,
1001P and 1251P portable programmable AC power sources are ideal for
a wide variety of applications
Universal input allows use anywhere
in the world to provide a convenient
source of variable utility power for the
testing and evaluation of domestic and
commercial equipment. All common
line voltage and frequency combinations are covered.
In addition, the frequency range covers 500 Hz, making these products
ideal for commercial and defense avi-
Windows™ Graphical User Interface software included
onics applications. The current measurement function eliminates the need
for an external current shunt or transformer. Load current of the UUT (Unit
Under Test) can be read directly on the
large LCD display to 0.1 A. For additional protection, a current limit function
can be set from zero to the maximum
current available.
High peak current capability of more
than three times the RMS current allows the P Series to drive non-linear
loads.
Easy To Use Controls
Front panel digital rotary encoders are
used to set voltage and
frequency. These controls have an analog
feel, with the precision
and reliability of digital
circuits. Settings are
read directly on the
large high contrast LCD
displays.
Both models offer two
output voltage ranges,
135 VRMS L-N and 270
VRMS L-N, maximizing
the current at the required voltage.
The output frequency can be varied
from 16 Hz up to 500 Hz to cover both
avionics and utility power applications.
Product Evaluation and Test
Applications
Traditional Variac tests can be automated using the P Series AC sources.
With digital voltage readout, and measurement of load current, several items
of equipment can be eliminated from
‘first time power up’ tests. All functions
are contained in a single convenient
and easily portable package, which
can be most useful in production applications.
Avionics Applications
As affordable and reliable sources
of 400 Hz AC power, the 801P, 1001P
and 1251P are well suited for commercial and defense avionics applications.
Remote Control
Equipped with the optional RS232C
serial interface, these units are easily
integrated into an ATE system. A Windows™ Graphical User Interface (GUI)
program is included for PC control applications.

Low Cost Of Ownership
Careful design, the use of modular
construction and quality components, all
contribute to provide many years of uninterrupted service. The modular construction allows components or subassemblies to be replaced quickly to minimize downtime.
