California Instrument FCS18

The HGA is a waveform, harmonic and transient generator producing with a complete measure-ment subsystem. The HGA will interface with many AC power sources to produce a programmable power system with harmonic generator and harmonic analyzer.

The HGA gives an AC power source the following capabilities:

· Programmable AC voltage, Frequency, Phase Angle (3-phase system) and Current Limit.
· Sine, Clipped sine, user defined waveforms and square waves (if capable by the AC source).
· Voltage and Frequency slew control.
· Synthesized waveform generation with high resolution, accuracy and low distortion.
· Step and Pulse output transients for generating surge, sag, dropout and other line disturbance simulation.
· Programmable lists for generation of complex output transients or test sequences
· Extensive measurement capabilities of:

AC rms Voltage and Current
Peak Current
Real and Apparent Power
Harmonic analysis of voltage and current up to the 49th harmonic
Total harmonic distortion calculation

· Trigger transient on phase angle or external bus command.
· External source synchronization.
· External Voltage Amplitude Modulation
· Nonvolatile state and waveform storage
· IEEE488 and RS232 Interface with SCPI command language.
· Over and under voltage, overcurrent and overtemperature shutdown.
· Remote shut down signal input
· Software Calibration.
