Chroma Programmable AC Power Source 61600 series delivers pure, instrument grade AC power at very low cost. The 61600 series supplies the output voltage from 0 to 300VAC, and frequency from 15 to 1000Hz. It is suitable for commercial, avionics, and military applications from bench-top testing to mass production.

The 61600 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 61600 series yields higher efficiency and delivers more output power. The 61600 series is capable of delivering up to 6 times of peak current compared to its maximum rated current that makes it ideal for inrush current test.

The AC+DC modes extend the applications not only pure AC voltage but also DC component for testing DC offset in laboratory. Users also can use an optional DC noise filter to get low noise and good stability DC voltage for testing. Applying the advanced DSP technology, the 61600 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 61600 series also provides an external analog input to amplify the analog signal from arbitrary signal generator. Thus, it is capable of simulating the unique waveform which observed in the field. Users also can control the amplitude of output voltage by a DC level. It is suitable to integrate Chroma AC source 61600 series into users’ system.

For convenience sake, the 61600 series offers versatile front panel operations with LCD display and rotary knob. Users may also control the 61600 series AC source remotely via GPIB, RS232C or APG (Analog Programming) interface. Users can find Labview driver in NI’s web site 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.
