AC6900 Series Power Sources A Complete Three-Phase AC Power Solution

A complete 3-phase AC power solution

Introduction

Keysight’s AC6900 Series AC power sources provide a complete AC and DC power solution by combining the capabilities of a multimeter, harmonic analyzer, and power analyzer in one instrument.  In a compact form factor, you can easily produce DC power, either alone or as a DC offset to an AC waveform.

Easily Achieve Your Test Goals

The increasing demand for testing avionics devices such as air traffic management systems, sensors, and crewless aircraft systems demands a sophisticated AC and DC power solution. Test system designers constantly look for ways to optimize their avionic electronic systems.

A compact, high-performance AC power source with DC capability is ideal for achieving this goal. An avionics test software suite will help to accelerate pre-compliance testing that meets commercial and military standards. 

Since your product must operate in the real world of unpredictable AC power, you must design and verify its operation under a wide range of AC power inputs. For example, brownouts, dropouts, sags, and other irregularities are uncommon in many industries today. 

You need to test using the compliance tests of the country where you plan to sell the product to ensure it meets their regulatory requirements for line voltages and frequencies. 

The AC6900 Series AC power sources have the features you need to easily achieve your test goals in either a research and development environment or on the manufacturing test floor.

The five-inch LCD color display shows the main measurements for all phases simultaneously. The intuitive interface minimizes your team’s learning curve while making measurements. The multiple IO connectivity – LXI-LAN, USB, and GPIB provides flexible synchronization.

Simplify Test Setups with Accurate Measurement Capabilities

AC6900 Series AC power sources have extensive measurement capabilities that typically require complex measurement instruments encompassing a multimeter, harmonic analyzer, and power analyzer. This solution is suitable for testing equipment in the avionics industry that operates at nominally 400 Hz, 800 Hz, or up to 5,000 Hz to meet RTCA DO-160 and MIL-STD-704 standards. These two standards include both AC and DC immunity tests.

You will experience the following precision measurements:

• AC, DC, AC plus DC voltage, and current

• Peak voltage and current

• Real, apparent, and reactive power; crest factor and power factor

• Harmonic analysis of voltage and current waveforms providing amplitude and phase up to the 50th harmonic

• Total harmonic distortion (THD)

Using the measurement capabilities of a Keysight AC6900 Series 3-phase AC power source simplifies your test setups, reduces test complexity, and helps you output accurate data quickly.

Extensive Protection to Prevent Load Damage

In addition to overcurrent, overvoltage, overpower, and overtemperature protection, the AC6900 Series 3phase AC power source offers output disconnect relays and remote inhibit capability to quickly disable the output of the AC power source via a transistor-transistor logic (TTL) signal to protect the DUT.

Intuitive and Easy-to-Use Front Panel Interface and Flexible IO Connectivity

The five-inch LCD color display shows the primary measurements of all phases simultaneously. The interface is intuitive, minimizing the learning curve, enhancing the user experience and optimizing operation. The multiple IO connectivity – LXI-LAN, USB and GPIB provides the greatest flexibility.
