The 9801 is both a programmable AC power source and measurement tool in a compact benchtop package. This fully programmable linear AC source delivers up to 300 VA through its universal line output terminal on the front and output connector on the rear. The output can be varied from 0 to 300 V with 0.1 V resolution, with adjustable start and stop phase angles from 0 to 360 degrees and maximum current of 3 A. The output frequency can be adjusted from 45 Hz to 500 Hz. The bright VFD display shows Vrms, Irms, Ipeak, frequency, power factor (PF), apparent power, true power, and elapsed output time.

The AC source provides a power line disturbance (PLD) simulator, list mode, and sweep mode for simulation of common power grid faults and disturbances. A built-in dimmer function is also available for testing motors and LEDs. Sinusoidal waveforms can be created with adjustable start and stop and phase angles from 0 to 360 degrees.
