9800/B Series Programmable AC Source

9800/B Series Programmable AC Source

The 9800/B Series is a versatile programmable AC source and measurement instrument designed for a wide range of applications. These fully programmable linear AC sources deliver up to 1500 VA through universal line output terminals located on both the front and rear of the unit. The output voltage can be varied from 0 to 300 V with a precise programming resolution of 0.1 V, while the output frequency is adjustable from 45 Hz to 500 Hz, including start and stop phase angles from 0 to 360 degrees. The bright VFD display provides real-time readings of Vrms, Irms, Ipeak, frequency, power factor (PF), apparent power, true power, and elapsed output time.
