The QuadTech, Inc. programmable AC Power Source 31000 series© delivers pure, instrument grade, AC power at very low cost. The 31000 series supplies the output voltage from 0 to 300V AC and frequency from 15 to 1000Hz. It is suitable for commercial, avionics and military applications from bench-top testing to mass production.

The 31000 series generates very clean AC output with distortion less than 0.3% at 50/60Hz. With the state-of-the-art PWM technology and power factor correction circuit, the 31000 series yields higher efficiency and delivers more output power. The 31000 series is capable of delivering up to six times peak current compared to its maximum rated current that makes it ideal for inrush current testing.

Description

The AC+DC modes extend the applications not only pure AC voltage, but for a DC component as well, for testing DC offset in the laboratory. Users can also use an optional DC noise filter to get low noise and good stability DC voltage for testing. Applying the advanced DSP technology, the 31000 series is able to provide precision and high-speed measurements such as RMS voltage, RMS current, true power, frequency, power factor and current crest factor.

The 31000 series also provides an external analog input to amplify the analog signal from the arbitrary signal generator. Thus, it is capable of simulating the unique waveform which is observed in the field. Users can also control the amplitude of output voltage by a DC level. It is suitable to integrate the QuadTech, Inc. AC source 31000 series into the users' system.

For convenience sake, the 31000 series offers versatile front panel operations with LCD display and rotary knob. Users may also control the 31000 series AC source remotely via GPIB, RS232C or APG (Analog Programming) interface. Users can find LabView driver in NI's website for programming.

The power-on self-diagnosis routine along with the full protections against OPP, OCP, OVP and OTP ensure the quality and reliability for the most demanding engineering tests and ATS applications.
