SECTION 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Behlman BL10000 AC Source models (table 1) are sophisticated ac power supplies. These devices
convert the available utility power to a voltage and frequency required by the end user. Regulation and
control of the AC power is also provided by these devices. Each of the models provide independent
verification of operating voltage, current, and frequency values thereby lessening the need for external
measuring devices.
All Behlman BL series power supplies are based on high frequency, pulse width modulated, IGBT
technology. This arrangement provides a highly efficient power conversion scheme in a compact size.
These devices are used in many applications including; avionics testing, production ATE, processes
control, research and development, and anywhere controlled ac power ( other than utility power) is
required.
1.2 OPTIONS
The Behlman 10000 series is available with many input and output options. Some of the output options
require additional transformer chassis for higher voltages. The table and list below summarizes these
options. Any of the models can include all or any combination of the available options if desired.
