11 3-Phase Operation Three-Phase or Multi-Phase operation requires the three 9832B or 9833B AC sources and the 3Phase kit (model TL983P-KIT) which includes three phase sync modules and two straight through (pin to pin) RJ45 communication cables for 3-Phase operation. Replacement modules (model TL983P) are sold separately. Additional phases require additional modules and RJ45 communication cables.
RJ45 cables Additional phases require additional AC sources and TL983P modules. 2) Front panel configuration After verifying the TL983P adapters are properly wired on the rear panel, the AC sources must be configured from the front panel. 3-phase operation is enabled by setting the phase control field on each AC source. The options for phase control are Master, Slave, or Disable. The master must be set first. Any one of the three connected AC sources can be set to master.
Similarly, after setting the master set ‘Phase Ctrl’ of the remaining two AC sources to ‘Slave’. The slaves will automatically connect to the master. This completes the set-up process for three phase operation. 3) 3-Phase parameters and output 3-Phase parameters include: Voltage (rms), Frequency (Hz), and Phase (deg). The reference phase of the master is always fixed at 0 degrees. The phase angle of slave sources can be adjusted from 0 to 359.7 degrees.
11.3 3-Phase Output Wiring The 9830B Series supports a Y-configuration in 3-phase mode. Connect the N(-) terminals on the rear panel together as shown in Figure 11.
11.4 Phase Control Software The 9830B Series Phase control software can be downloaded from bkprecision.com by visiting the 9830B product page and clicking the ‘Docs & Software’ tab. Phase control software allows you to easily control 9832B/9833B models in three-phase or multi-phase modes with data logging and live output monitoring capabilities. 11.4.
Three-Phase Application Mode Control Panel Multi-phase Application Mode This mode is intended for applications requiring control over more than three phases or when the user wants independent control of each AC source Voltage (Vrms) and Phase (degrees) parameters. Up to 31 instruments can be connected in multi-phase application mode.
11.4.2 Setup and Configuration Before attempting to connect to a computer, the 9832B/9833B AC Power Sources must be properly configured from the front panel and connected using phase sync adapter modules. See the 3-Phase Operation section above for instructions. On the front panel, set each AC source to ‘USBVCP’ in the communication settings.

13.4 Output Status Detection The digital IO interface has system status logic outputs that are described in this section. All these outputs are in reference to DGND, pins 8, 10, 18, 20, and 22. Figure 51 - Output status pin out 13.4.1 /SYNC When the output sine wave of the Instrument is about to pass through 0 degrees, pin 9 (/SYNC) will send out a 250 uS 12 V to 0 V pulse as shown in the below timing diagram.
13.4.2 /Fault_out Pin 16 (/Fault_out) indicates when a fault occurs or the Instrument is in protection status. During normal operation, the voltage level of this pin stays high (5 V). The voltage level will be low (0 V) if any of the circumstances below occurs: 4. Interface CAN Error 5. Module CAN Error 6. SW Over Current Prot 7. SW Over Voltage Prot 8. SW Over Power Limit 9. SW Over Max VA Limit 10. Remote Inhibit ON 13.4.
13.5 Remote_Inhibit The Instrument offers a remote inhibit used to turn the output off. The voltage level of pin 19 (Remote_inhibit) (reference ground is DGND) has to be set high (5 V) first, or the Instrument will enter into protection mode. If the voltage level drops to 0 V, the Instrument will stop outputting, and will show ‘Error Remote Inhibit ON’.
The RS232 interface does not support flow control. The programmer should be aware of this limitation and pay attention to the Instrument command process time. If the remote commands are sent too fast the internal buffer may overrun and cause communication errors. Therefore, it is mandatory to add a delay between commands so that the Instrument has sufficient time to process. 13.7 Event_SW The Event_SW output can be used to control external devices.
13.8 Analog input (BNC) The analog input(BNC) is used to control the output voltage of the instrument with an external signal. In this example, an Arbitrary waveform generator is connected.
