The global market for AC power testing demands a more sophisticated, high performance AC power source that is capable of simulating a wide range of AC line conditions. The Chroma 61500/61600 series programmable AC sources are the right solution to meet market requirements by providing the ability to simulate various AC line input conditions and measurements of critical characteristics for products under test.
Advanced PWM Technology
Chroma 61500/61600 series AC power sources are able to provide the highest power density by utilizing advanced high speed PWM mode design. The modularized power stage design offers outstanding performance and high reliability. The modularized design also allows service personnel to identify trouble spots more efficiently and minimize downtime.
With no transformer at the output stage, it not only reduces the output impedance, but also creates the ability for the 61500/61600 series to program DC components for simulating AC voltage with DC offset conditions. This function allows users to simulate test conditions of an unbalanced input current for rectified loads.
Comprehensive Measurements
Chroma AC power sources in the 61500/61600 series have a built in 16-bit measurement circuit and firmware utilities to measure the true RMS voltage, current, true power, VA (apparent power), VAR (reactive power), power factor, current crest factor, peak repetitive current and inrush current. Using advanced DSP technology, the 61500 series can measure THD and up to 40 orders of current harmonics. This makes the 61500 series not only a sophisticated power source but also a powerful analyzer.
