Keysight Technologies AC power source/analyzers provide a complete AC test solution. As AC sources, they combine the capabilities of a power amplifier and an arbitrary waveform generator. This allows you to simulate normal waveforms and many types of distorted power waveforms. The built-in power analyzer combines the capabilities of a multimeter, oscilloscope, harmonic analyzer and power analyzer. These instruments may also be used to produce DC power, either alone or as a DC offset to an AC waveform.

Since your product will have to operate in the real world of unpredictable AC power, you need to design and verify its correct operation under a wide range of AC power inputs. Brownouts, dropouts, sags, and other irregularities are not unusual in many communities today. Keysight AC power source/analyzers have the features needed to easily accomplish this test goal either in an R&D environment or on the manufacturing 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 frequencies for which they will eventually operate. There is also additional testing needed to meet regulatory requirements for sale into some countries.

Keysight AC power source/analyzers offer a complete solution for AC power testing, helping 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 simulate sophisticated and repeatable AC line disturbances. DC power can also be generated, either as a DC offset or as a pure DC signal.

Standard input voltage for the 6813C is 230 VAC nominal (option 230), 191 to 254 VAC, 24-63 Hz.

Keysight AC power source/analyzers have extensive 16-bit precision measurement capabilities which would normally require a number of complex measurement instruments, including 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 a Keysight AC power source/analyzer simplifies your test setups and helps you obtain accurate data quickly

Keysight 6800C Series AC power source/analyzers come standard with LXI-LAN, USB, and GPIB IO connectivity, allows convenient setup and easy communication to the PC controller and other instruments.

Keysight AC power source/analyzers are well suited for testing equipment intended for use in the avionics industry, which operates at nominally 400 Hz. One of the special requirements that many manufacturers in this industry must concern themselves with is testing to meet RTCA DO-160 standards, which involve both AC and DC immunity tests.

In addition to overcurrent, overvoltage, overpower and overtemperature protection, the 6800C Series offers output disconnect relays, and remote inhibit capability (quickly disabling the output of the AC power source/analyzers via a TTL signal) to protect the device under test.

Option 019 increases the output VA capability of the standard Keysight 6813C AC Power Source from 1750 VA to 2000 VA. To achieve the increased output VA capability, the output rms voltage, DC voltage and rms current ratings have increased slightly. The primary restriction that this increased output imposes on Option 019 units as compared to standard units, is the reduction in the output frequency range to between 45 and 100 Hz.

The powerful built-in power analyzer in Keysight AC power source/analyzers 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 power source/analyzer is not providing power, thus expanding the usefulness of this instrument to many more test configurations. The additional analyzer is equivalent in specifications and capabilities to the standard analyzer.

Using the dual power analyzer option instead of an additional power analyzer instrument externally is more than just convenient. Measurements on all four measurement channels (AC source output voltage and current, and dual power analyzer voltage and current inputs) are inherently synchronized with the AC power source/analyzers output waveform. This precision would be difficult to achieve using separate measurement instruments.

Dual power analyzer examples:

• Complete testing of uninterruptible power sources (UPS)
• Efficiency testing of DC power supplies
• Efficiency testing of AC power sources
• Efficiency testing of transformers
• Safety testing of transformers
• Line disturbance and brownout testing of DC power supplies
• Line disturbance and brownout testing of AC power sources
• Sleep mode current monitoring
• Independent power analyzer

Option 026 consists of an auxiliary 26 Vrms output located on the rear panel of the AC source. This is a programmable output with a maximum output current of 100 mArms. The output frequency tracks the frequency of the main output of the AC source. Option 026 adds the following capabilities:

• AC voltage and phase are programmable in immediate mode only
• Software calibration is available for both voltage and phase. Calibration is performed at a single frequency (400 Hz). Note that there is no compensation for frequency-dependent voltage variation or phase shift.
• The auxiliary output waveform and frequency are always the same as the main output.
• For a sine wave output, the maximum programmed rms voltage value is 26.02 V. For any waveform; the programmed rms voltage value may not result in a peak voltage of more than 36.8 V
• Current limit is not programmable
• DC voltage is not available
