11 3-Phase Operation
Three-Phase or Multi-Phase operation requires the three 9832B or 9833B AC sources and the 3-
Phase 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.
Limitations
9830B Series programming features including step, list, pulse, and amplifier mode are disabled
in 3-phase mode. Several configuration settings (Config 1 and Config 2) remain enabled in 3-
phase mode. Range, coupling mode, power on state, and inrush current measurement settings
can be adjusted in 3-phase mode under the Config 1 menu. Under the Config 2 menu, external
reference and transient settings are disabled in 3-phase mode.
11.1 Setup and Configuration
The 9830B Series 3-phase operation uses a master/slave configuration. 3-phase operation
requires three identical 9832B or 9833B models. One AC source will be set to master with the
remaining set to slaves.
1) Rear panel configuration
Power off and disconnect the AC sources from AC input. Connect one TL983P module to
the Digital I/O (DB25) bus connecter to the rear of each AC source using the included
screws and washers to hold them firmly in place. Use a standard Ethernet (RJ45) type
connector to daisy chain modules as shown in the following figure.
