B&K Precision 9833B – Programmable AC Power Source

• Max Voltage: 0 – 300 V
• Max Current: 0 – 30 A
• Max Power: 3000 VA
• AC, DC and AC+DC power source

The 9830B Series programmable AC power sources provide high performance and low total harmonic distortion in a 3U form factor. The addition of positive and negative DC offset voltages expands the AC capabilities to operate in DC and AC+DC output coupling modes. The user can select built-in and user-defined harmonic waveforms or select from standard sine, square, or clipped sine outputs. The high output current crest factor and low input resistance are suitable for high inrush current measurements when evaluating capacitive or inductive loads. 3-Phase power can be achieved by connecting 3 units of the same model in a master and slave configuration using the optional TL983P 3-Phase sync adapters.

The numeric keys and rotary knob provide a convenient interface for setting output parameters quickly and precisely. All measurements and setting values are concurrently displayed on the screen including a graphical display of the output waveform. Up to 100 instrument settings can be saved and recalled to and from internal storage memory. Save screenshots and save /recall settings to the USB host interface.

Adjustable AC/DC voltage levels, frequency, and timing parameters allow for simulation of voltage drops and periodic power surges and sags. Step, pulse, and list modes are used to generate complex power line disturbance simulations. Select from built-in waveforms or generate user-defined waveforms with the included PC software or by connecting an arbitrary waveform generator to the instrument’s analog input.

Application software offers convenient control, monitoring, and data logging capabilities. This software supports three-phase mode or multi-phase mode for different applications.
