1.1 General Description
The 801P/1001P/1251P AC source is a high efficiency, light weight 800VA, 1000VA or
1250VA programmable AC power source. The output has two voltage ranges of 0-135V or 0-
270V with a frequency range of 16 Hz to 500 Hz. The maximum output current is 9.2 amps at
135 volts range and 4.6 amps at 270 volts range for the 1250VA model. The maximum output
current is 7.4 amps at 135 volts and 3.7 amps at 270 volts range for the 1000VA model. The
maximum output current is 6.0 amps at 135 volts and 3.0 amps at 270 volts range for the
800VA model.
The universal nominal input can be from 100 volts to 240 volts at 50 Hz or 60 Hz line frequency.
Simple front panel controls enable the voltage and frequency to be changed. An optional
RS232C serial interface is available for applications that require remote control and
measurements.
