B&K Precision 9830 Programmable AC Power Sources

B&K Precision 9830 Programmable AC Power Sources provide high performance and low total harmonic distortion in a 3U form factor. The addition of positive and negative DC offset voltages expands the AC capabilities of these power sources to operate in DC and AC+DC output coupling modes. The user can select built-in and user-defined harmonic waveforms or select from standard sine, square, or clipped sine outputs. The high output current crest factor and low input resistance make the 9830 devices suitable for high inrush current measurements when evaluating capacitive or inductive loads.
