Description

AC1000 – A clean Power Source

 

Provides clean mains waveform for IEC61000-3-2 harmonic measurement

The AC1000 achieves its unique price/performance ratio by actively adjusting the incoming mains waveform to produce a clean output. Other suppliers use convertor techniques to completely recreate the output from scratch. Our solution delivers an output which achieves the required THD with the minimum of hardware and expense. It includes the ability to switch the correction in or out so that the original waveform can be observed and measured if required. Overload and thermal protection systems are built-in and produce an audible warning if activated.

The harmonics standard IEC61000-3-2 specifies that to measure the harmonic performance of a product. a pure, harmonic free supply should be used. Generally, the public mains supply will not meet the requirements of this standard. The AC1000 uses innovative techniques to correct the incoming mains supply and provide a mains source that complies with the requirements of the standard.

This then permits full compliance standard testing of products.

The AC 1000 does not recreate the supply, merely ‘adjusts’ the waveform as required. The frequency and fundamental voltage are therefore identical to the incoming mains. A Direct/Corrected switch enables the user to observe the harmonic content of the mains

supply before and after correction.

  • Provides fully compliant power to the EUT for up to 1kW
  • Small size and cost effective
  • Ideal for Harmonics compliance testing
  • THD output is 0.1% max (as required by the standards)
