8500 Series - Programmable AC Power Source-1

RoHS RoHS 2 RoHS 2 3 Programmable AC Power Source The EEC 8500 Series is the most power dense and functionality rich Applicable Industries power source in our history, giving you improved capability, functionality, and a reduced footprint all in one series. This series is manufactured for simulating common grid faults, voltage dips, and other power abnormalities. The 8500 Series provides an output voltage up to 310 VAC and an output frequency ranging from 5 Hz – 1,200 Hz making it the obvious solution for all kinds of applications. Not to mention, an enhanced interface to all models completely designed with the enduser in mind. Our 8500 Sources can be configured as a simple AC Power Source in Standard mode or, as an upgraded option, Programmable mode. Programmable mode adds the benefits of a sweep of voltage, frequencies, transients, and DC bias over the course of a single sequence or several different tests. The 8500 Series includes the following models: 8505, 8512, 8520, 8530, 8540, & 8560. System Integrator ■ With expanded output voltage to 310VAC and output frequency from 5Hz to 1200Hz, the 8500 provides a single, simple solution to meet a wide variety of testing applications. ■ Advanced mode option allows you to easily simulate voltage surges, voltage drops, voltage pulses, voltage sweeps, DC bias, and frequency sweeps to help make meeting the specific needs of your testing application easier than it has ever been. ■ High power density with a reduced overall footprint offers you the flexibility you need to use your 8500 Series power source in either a bench top or rack mount application. ■ Legacy Mode allows you to keep your command set from your 6000, 7000, or 300XAC series. GUARANTEED SHIPMENT abnormal condition on your DUT by simply selecting the waveform you would like to output. ■ 4 pre-configured waveforms allow you to simulate nearly any 1 USB/RS-232 Interface Ethernet Interface Options GPIB Interface Start Output START TEST DRIVER AVAILABLE
