The Complete AC Power Test Solution
Since your product will have to operate in the real world of unpredictable ac power, you need to design and verify its correct operation under a wide range of AC power inputs. Brownouts, dropouts, sags, and other irregularities are not unusual in many communities today. Agilent AC sources have the features needed to easily accomplish this test goal either in an R&D environment or on the manufacturing test floor. If you plan to sell your products in a worldwide market, you will also need to test them at the line voltages and frequencies that they will eventually operate at. There is also additional testing needed to meet regulatory requirements for sale into some countries.

Agilent AC sources offer a complete solution for AC power testing, helping you to simplify this important task. These instruments combine the features of a power amplifier and arbitrary waveform generator to give you the ability to do all of the tests that you need. There are many standard preprogrammed waveforms, or you can use the transient generation system to simulate sophisticated and repeatable ac line disturbances. DC power can also be generated, either as a DC offset or as a pure DC signal.

Powerful Built-in Measurement Capabilities
Agilent AC sources have extensive 16-bit precision measurement capabilities which would normally require a number of complex measurement instruments, including a DMM (digital multimeter), oscilloscope, power analyzer, and harmonic analyzer. The precision measurements include:

• rms, DC, AC + DC voltage and current
• Peak voltage and current
• Real, apparent, and reactive power
• Harmonic analysis of voltage and current waveforms providing amplitude and phase up to the 50th harmonic
• THD (total harmonic distortion)
• Triggered acquisition of digitized voltage and current

Using the measurement capabilities of an Agilent ac source simplifies your test setups and helps you obtain accurate data quickly.
