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.

Connect additional units

for split, 2 and 3 phase

testing.

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.

Programmable AC Power Source 9830B Series Operation highlights Arbitrary waveform generation in amplifier mode To further extend the capabilities of the 9830P 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.
