Yorba Linda, CA. B&K Precision has announced the 9830 Series, a new line of programmable, single-phase AC power sources for testing electronic devices during design, service, and manufacturing. Delivering up to 3,000 VA and featuring an operating frequency to 1,200 Hz, the 9830 Series builds on B&K Precision’s family of AC power sources, giving designers a more versatile test instrument for developing products requiring a wider range of power.
“Power requirements vary widely by region and country, so we designed the new 9830 Series to allow development of a broad range of AC-power products for the global market,” said David Holt, senior product manager at B&K Precision. “These new AC power sources deliver a compact yet feature-rich and cost-effective solution that can meet designers’ current and future output power and frequency needs, while enabling precompliance testing in accordance with international standards.”
The 9832 and 9833 can be used to simulate power-line disturbances and worldwide power requirements. Additionally, their 12 on-screen measurements provide detailed information about the device under test. The instruments’ AC+DC mode can be used to provide DC bias voltage and is also useful for power-line disturbance testing.
The 9830 Series increases the VA range of B&K Precision’s earlier AC power sources by up to 200% and extends the operating frequency to 1,200 Hz. Both instruments support remote-interface standards common in system designs: LAN, GPIB, USB C-compliant USB, and RS-232. The 9830 Series’ intuitive user interface features a numeric keypad, rotary knob, navigation keys, a 4.3-inch color LCD capable of displaying 12 measurements simultaneously, and a USB host port. The instruments can also be controlled from a standard web browser via built-in web server.
The sources offer low THD that meets the IEC 61000-3-2 standard (EMC limits for harmonic current emissions); they can be used in precompliance testing according to IEC 61000-3-2 and IEC 61000-4-11/14/28/34 (EMC immunity test and measurement techniques for voltage dips, short interruptions, and voltage variations).
Available immediately, B&K Precision’s new 9832 and 9833 AC power sources are backed with a three-year warranty and listed at a price of $6,450 and $7,650, respectively.
