Single Phase AC Sources

The programmable nature of our AC sources allows almost any real world scenario to be replicated. As most households are based on a single phase supply, it is of sole importance that domestic appliances are tested under these conditions. 

Distinct line disturbances can be recreated in a repeatable laboratory environment, such as brown outs and ripple control signals. Common AC waveforms are pre-installed on selected units to replicate a specific source including sine, square, sawtooth and triangle. A DC mode is also featured for certain models.

Programmable voltage and frequency outputs allow any worldwide grid system to be precisely simulated. A selection of higher frequencies models are available up to 2kHz, perfect for recreating aerospace sources which typically operate at 400Hz and above. 

Linear PSUs such as the EAC-S contain EN 61000-4-11 sequences for pre-compliance testing. The standard tests this includes for investigating behaviour during changes to the AC mains voltage are: short interruptions, voltage dips and voltage variation immunity tests. 

For system integration or remote control, a wide choice of analogue and computer interfaces can be optionally fitted to your chosen power supply. Fixed output values can also be specified if the unit is required to act as a simple converter.
