The Complete AC Power
Test Solution
Since your product will have to
operate in the real world of unpre-
dictable AC power, you need to
design and verify its correct opera-
tion under a wide range of AC
power inputs. Brownouts,
dropouts, sags, and other irregulari-
ties are not unusual in many com-
munities today. Agilent AC sources
have the features needed to easily
accomplish this test goal either in
an R&D environment or on the man-
ufacturing test floor. If you plan to
sell your products in a worldwide
market, you will also need to test
them at the line voltages and fre-
quencies that they will eventually
operate at. There is also additional
testing needed to meet regulatory
requirements for sale into some
countries.
Agilent AC sources offer a complete
solution for AC power testing, help-
ing you to simplify this important
task. These instruments combine
the features of a power amplifier
and arbitrary waveform generator
to give you the ability to do all of
the tests that you need. There are
many standard preprogrammed
waveforms, or you can use the
transient generation system to sim-
ulate sophisticated and repeatable
AC line disturbances. DC power can
also be generated, either as a DC
offset or as a pure DC signal.
Powerful Built-in
Measurement Capabilities
Agilent AC sources have extensive
16-bit precision measurement
capabilities which would normally
require a number of complex
measurement instruments, includ-
ing a DMM (digital multimeter),
oscilloscope, power analyzer, and
harmonic analyzer. The precision
measurements include:
• rms, DC, AC + DC voltage
and current
• peak voltage and current
• real, apparent, and
reactive power
• harmonic analysis of voltage and
current waveforms providing
amplitude and phase up to the
50th harmonic
• THD (total harmonic distortion)
• Triggered acquisition of digitized
voltage and current
Using the measurement capabilities
of an Agilent AC source simplifies
your test setups and helps you
obtain accurate data quickly.
Dual Power Analyzer
Option 020
The powerful built-in power meter/
analyzer in Agilent AC sources
provides everything that you need
to make AC measurements at the
AC input to your DUT. For many
test scenarios, this is the extent of
the AC analysis required.
Some test scenarios, however,
require AC measurements to be
made at both the AC input and the
AC output of the DUT. Option
020 provides an additional power
analyzer, complete with a precision
current shunt, which can be
connected anywhere you need it.
This second analyzer can even be
used for tests where the AC source
is not providing power, thus
expanding the usefulness of this
instrument to many more test
configurations. The additional
analyzer is equivalent in specifica-
tions and capabilities to the stan-
dard analyzer.
