California Instruments P series ac power supplies - available in the UK from TTi

 



Description
The 801P, 1001P and 1251P are ideal sources for general purpose AC power applications that require variable voltage and frequency at power levels up to 1250 VA. With simple knobs used to set voltage, frequency and current limit, the P Series provides an inexpensive source of AC power in a small, portable and lightweight package.

Controller Capabilities
The P Series uses a precision digital sinewave generator to produce a low distortion output .Dual LCD readouts clearly display programmed settings for voltage, current limit and frequency. Load current is measured using true RMS sensing and can be displayed on the front panel as well. Adjusting voltage, frequency and current limit is accomplished using a set of digitally encoded rotary knobs. For ATE applications, RS232C interface is available as an option.


Exclusive Features
· Low Cost
· Portable
· Easy to Use
· Programmable
· Dual voltage ranges
· 16 Hz to 500 Hz
· Simple Front Panel Connection
· UL and CSA Safety Tested
· CE Mark

Applications
The extended output frequency range of 16 Hz to 500 Hz makes the P Series a suitable source for both commercial as well as avionics applications. Dual voltage ranges provide maximum output current at any programmed voltage up to 270 Volt. The built in rms. current measurement function eliminates the need for external current shunts or transformers to determine load current requirements of the unit under test. For bench use, the P Series features simple and intuitive controls for setting voltage, frequency and current limits. Current drawn by the load can be read directly on the large LCD display to 100 mA resolution. With the addition of the remote control -232 option, the P Series can be used in automated test environments as well.

Remote Control


The optional RS232C remote control interface (option -232) allows complete control of all AC source functions and provides measurement data to the controller. This allows the P Series to be used as a low cost AC test system. A Windows ™ Graphical User Interface (GUI) program is included with the interface option. Automatic power cycling and transient generation is made possible with the use of this GUI program. The GUI output control, measurement and transient screen is shown here. For quality assurance applications, measured voltage, current and VA readings can be logged to disk for documentation and analysis purposes. All data recorded is time stamped to create a complete history of each test run. Transient programming is supported by the GUI program with user defined transient list of up to 100 steps. Available transient functions are Voltage step, voltage drop, voltage sweep, voltage surge/sag, frequency step, frequency sweep, frequency surge/sag as well as functions that combine both voltage and frequency.
Up to eight often used front-panel setups can be stored in non-volatile memory for quick recall from the PC controller through the interface. If needed, the front panel can be locked out to prevent operator intervention during test runs.
