California Instruments 5001iX Series II AC and DC Source and Power Analyzer, Single Phase  

The California Instruments 5001iX is a combination of AC Source, DC Source and Power Analyzer and is designed for use in a wide variety of applications. The 5001iX provides high load current capability, multi or single phase output modes and built-in power analyzer measurements. Additional features like line distortion simulation (LDS), arbitrary waveform generation and programmable output impedance address requirements for product quality and regulatory compliance.

The built-in output transient generation and readback measurement capability offers the convenience of an easy to use and integrated test system, allowing manufacturers of electronic equipment to evaluate and test their products over a wide range of input conditions.

The California Instruments 5001iX, with an output frequency range up to 500 Hz, is well suited for aerospace applications. Precise frequency control and accurate load regulation are key requirements in these applications. The standard IEEE-488 control interface and SCPI command language provide for easy integration into existing ATE systems.

The 5001iX is designed to meet AC source requirements for use in Euronorm EN 61000 compliance testing. For flicker testing, the programmable output impedance capability of the 5001iX can be used to create the required IEC 725 reference impedance.

With a crest factor of up to 5:1, the 5001iX AC source can drive difficult nonlinear loads with ease. Since many modern products use switching power supplies, they have a tendency to pull high repetitive peak currents. The 5001iX can deliver up to 110 Amps of repetitive peak current (low range) to handle such loads.

Windows application software is included and provides easy access to the units capabilities, including:

• Steady state output control (all parameters)
• Create, run, save, reload and print transient programs
• Generate and save harmonic waveforms
• Generate and save arbitrary waveforms
• Download data from a digital storage oscilloscope
• Measure and log standard measurements
• Capture and display output voltage and current waveforms
• Measure, display, print and log harmonic voltage and current measurements
• Run IEC61000-4-11, IEC61000-4-14 and IEC61000- 4-28 test programs
• Display IEEE-488 or RS232C bus traffic to and from the AC Source to help you develop your own test

Other features, functions of the 5001iX include:

• Harmonic Waveform Generation: Define harmonic waveforms by specifying amplitude and phase for up to 50 harmonics. Up to 200 waveforms can be stored and given a user defined name for easy recall.
• Arbitrary Waveform Generation: Provides an alternative method of specifying AC anomalies by providing specific waveform data points. The GUI program provides a catalog of custom waveforms and also allows real-world waveforms captured on a digital oscilloscope to be downloaded to one of the many AC source’s waveform memories. Simulates the effect of real-world AC power line conditions on a unit under test in both engineering and production environments.
• AC and DC Transient Generation: Allows complex sequences of voltage, frequency and waveshapes to be generated. This further enhances the 5001iX's capability to simulate AC line conditions or DC disturbances. When combined with the multi phase arbitrary waveform capabilities, the AC and DC output possibilities are truly exceptional.
• Measurement and Analysis: Built-in data acquisition system that continuously monitors all AC source and load parameters.
  • Conventional Measurements such as Common AC and DC measurement parameters are automatically provided and displayed in numeric form on the front panel LCD display. The following measurements are available: Frequency, Vrms, Irms,, Ipk, Crest Factor, Real Power (Watts), Apparent Power (VA) and Power Factor.
  • Harmonic Analysis: Provides detailed amplitude and phase information on up to 50 harmonics of the fundamental voltage and current for either one or three phases. Harmonic content can be displayed in both tabular and graphical formats on the front panel LCD for immediate feedback to the operator. Alternatively, the included GUI program can be used to display, print and save harmonic measurement data. Total harmonic distortion of both voltage and current is calculated from the harmonic data.
  • Waveform Acquisition: Based on real-time digitization of the voltage and current waveforms using a 4K deep sample buffer. This time domain information provides detailed information on both voltage and current waveshapes. Waveform acquisitions can be triggered at a specific phase angle or from a transient program to allow precise positioning of the captured waveform with respect to the AC source output.
