The 9830 series programmable AC power sources provide high performance and low total harmonic distortion in a 3U form factor. The addition of positive and negative DC offset voltages expands the AC capabilities to operate in DC and AC-DC output coupling modes.
8932B and 8933B: 3-phase power can be achieved by connecting 3 units of the same model in a master and slave configuration using the optional 3-phase sync adapters. The frequency range is adjustable from 45 to 600Hz in 3-phase mode.
The 980x-series is both a programmable AC source and measurement tool. These fully programmable linear AC sources deliver a maximum of 1500 VA through the universal line output terminals on the front and the output connector on the rear. The output can be varied from 0 to 300 V with 0.1 V programming resolution. The output frequency can also be adjusted from 45 Hz to 500 Hz with start and stop phase angle from 0 to 360 degrees.
