B+K Precision BK9810 Series Programmable AC Power Sources
The B+K Precision BK9810 series are programmable AC power sources. They deliver clean, low distortion AC power up to 500 VA or 1000 VA. The power supplies feature a variable output from 0 to 300 V with 0.1 V programming resolution and an adjustable output frequency range from 45 Hz to 500 Hz.
The BK9810 Series is packed with versatile features including built-in PLD and dimmer simulation, a surge/dropout function and advanced list mode programming. The surge/dropout function allows users to create complex test scenarios and simulate common power grid faults and disturbances. With advanced list mode programming, users can define up to 50 programs each comprised of 9 individual steps and customize each step with specific voltage, frequency, and timing parameters.
- 0...300 V, low distortion AC power source with 500 VA and 1000 VA models.
- Output frequency adjustable from 45 to 500 Hz.
- Displays VRMS, IRMS, IPK, frequency, power factor, crest factor, and elapsed time measurements.
- Switch between three different output controls:
Manual output control.
List program mode.
Continuous mode. - Store setting parameters and test results.
- Multiple protections for overvoltage (OVP), overcurrent (OCP), overpower (OPP), and overtemperature (OTP).
- Thermostatically-controlled fans for quiet operation.
- Built-in PLD and dimmer simulation.
- Pre-compliance testing for voltage dips and frequency simulations according to IEC61000-4-11/4-14/4-28.
