Data Sheet Programmable AC Power Source Features & Benefits n AC, DC and AC+DC power source n 3-Phase capability using 3 AC sources and the 3-Phase kit (TL983P-KIT) total harmonic distortion (THD) meets the IEC 61000-3-2 standard n Comprehensive measurement capabilities Vrms, Arms, Vdc, +Apk, -Apk, inrush current, frequency, power factor, apparent power, reactive power, true power, and crest factor n 0.98 standard waveforms sine, square, clipped sine The 9830B 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. The user can select built-in and user-defined harmonic waveforms or select from standard sine, square or clipped sine outputs. The high output current crest factor and low input resistance are suitable for high inrush current measurements when evaluating capacitive or inductive loads. 3-Phase power can be achieved by connecting 3 units of the same model in a master and slave configuration using the optional TL983P 3-Phase sync adapters. mode with 1.2 kHz bandwidth for generating user-defined arbitrary waveforms n Step, List and Pulse modes for generating power line disturbance (PLD) simulations. List mode supports 10 user-defined programs with up to 100 programmable steps n Generate custom harmonic waveforms on a PC and download them to the instrument’s 5 non-volatile memory locations All 12 measurements can be displayed simultaneously on a large and bright 4.3” color LCD Frequency Range Measurement display power factor at AC input stage Single phase Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) I/O port supporting external trigger, transient indication, failure status indication, remote inhibit, RS232, and external analog output level programming interface n Comprehensive protection modes OVP, OCP, OPP, OTP, fan failure, output timer and key lock n LabVIEW™ driver and application software with soft panel for remote control available n Control the AC source from a standard web browser via built-in web server Remote Interface 3-Phase AC power Connect additional units for split, 2 and 3 phase testing. n Supports n Full Technical data subject to change © B&K Precision Corp. 2020 Applications • Pre-compliance testing • Simulate grid faults, voltage sags,frequency, and phase disturbances, according to IEC61000-4-11/14/28/34 • Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), according to IEC61000-3-2 • Consumer electronics, appliances, industrial controls, avionics • Evaluate transformers, TRIACs, SCRs, and

Programmable AC Power Source 9830B Series Operation highlights Adjustable AC/DC voltage levels, frequency and timing parameters allow for simulation of voltage drops and periodic power surges and sags. Step, pulse and list modes are used to generate complex power line disturbance simulations. Select from built-in waveforms or generate user-defined waveforms with the included PC software or by connecting an arbitrary waveform generator to the instrument’s analog input. Step mode Generate step-up or step-down output based on user-defined voltage, frequency, phase, and interval settings. Pulse...

Programmable AC Power Source 9830B Series Operation highlights Arbitrary waveform generation in amplifier mode To further extend the capabilities of the 9830B series, custom waveforms can be applied to the analog BNC input. The custom waveform can be created using WaveXpressTM, a comprehensive stand-alone B&K Precision application, allowing users to easily generate, edit, and upload custom waveforms to an arbitrary waveform generator, which then drives the AC power source output. WaveXpressTM allows users to define waveforms by importing a csv file, define it freehand on the computer, or by...
