The Preen AFVP2500B High Performance Programmable AC Power Source, 2500VA/0-310VAC, 15-1000Hz

Programmable AC power source with stable DC output and precise measurement capability

This model provides clean power with distortion less than 0.3% at 50/60Hz and delivers continuously adjustable output voltage 0-310VAC and output frequency 15-1000Hz. The AFV-P-2500B series is ideal for industries of commercial, defense and aerospace from design verification, quality assurance, ATE to mass production.

The AFVP-2500B series provides comprehensive programmable features (Step, Ramp and Transient features) and a total of 1200 Steps in 50 built-in Memory Sets, so that users now can easily configure various voltage and frequency combinations for simulating global AC power conditions, such as surge, sag, spikes and dropouts. The AFV-P-2500B can selectively generate AC output or DC output according to user-defined settings. This feature not only extends applications to AC and DC component test, but effectively removes the cost of purchasing another DC source.

The AFV-P-2500B can selectively generate AC output or DC output according to user-defined settings. With the advanced PWM technology, the AFV-P series is capable of delivering up to 4.5 times of peak current from its rated current, which is suitable for motor-type test with inrush. The AFVP2500B includes measurement capability of RMS voltage, output frequency, RMS current, true power, apparent power, reactive power, power factor and crest factor.

5V DC Synchronized Signal

Synchronized Signal

The AFV-P-2500B provides two types of synchronized signal. It can either deliver a 5V DC signal continuously when the product output is on or deliver a 5V DC pulse signal every time there is a change on the product output. This feature makes the AFV-P series an ideal AC source when applying with automatic test systems.

Programmable Simulations: Transient Feature

With the Transient feature, the user can have more control over the output waveform by adding disturbance at user-defined locations with user-defined drop/rise range. This feature is useful to simulate different pre-compliance test and various types of power line disturbances for immunity tests, such as surge, sag, spike, and dropout.

Programmable Simulations: Step & Ramp Features

Preen AFV-P Series Voltage Step

Preen AFV-P Series Frequency Step

The AFV-P-2500B offers a Step feature to create complex sequences by linking up to 1200 self-defined steps in 50 Memory Sets. Voltage, frequency, and dwell time for each step can be defined independently, and users can set start/end number of Step Loop to cyclically perform the Step feature, so as to simulate grid voltage fluctuations or On/Off test. Because of its fast response time, AFV-P series can perform Step change in less than a cycle and provide a reliable AC power simulation.

Preen AFV-P Series Voltage Ramp

Preen AFV-P Series Frequency Ramp

The Ramp feature allows users to set Ramp time unit, Ramp time, voltage, and frequency per unit, so as to define slew rate of voltage and frequency for each Step, then the product output will change according to user-defined slew rate. Additionally, this feature can effectively reduce the inrush current, and save the cost on selecting an AC source with much higher output power for inductive-type loads.

Over Current and Remote Sense Features

When it comes to over current, the AFV-P series offers more than just shutdown protection. Over current foldback enables this model to maintain the output current at the rated current and correspondingly decrease the output voltage as the load impedance increases. It is an extended protection or an alternative to provide constant current for EUT. With the remote sense feature, voltage drop compensation is available when it comes to output voltage decrease due to the cable length. In other words, the AFV-P series can automatically correct the reduced voltage and deliver accurate voltage to ensure stable voltage conditions.

Complete Remote Interfaces & Control Software

The AFV-P series is equipped with standard interfaces of USB, RS-232, RS-485, and Ethernet, so users no longer need to spend extra on an interface card. Only GPIB and Analog Control are offered as optional interfaces. The AFV-P series also provides specialized control software with complete programming features and LabView driver, which allows easy control without further programming.

Intuitive Touch Screen Control

To create a complex sequence on the local control HMI is no longer a difficult task with the AFVP2500B. Its 5 in. touch screen provides users a clear measurement display and an easy setup for product output. AFV-P series is also equipped with a rotary knob for more fine tune adjustments. Additionally, a touch screen lock is available to avoid maloperation.
