Keysight 6811C/120 Performance AC Power Source

Overview

The Keysight 6811C/120 is a high-performance AC power source and analyzer designed for comprehensive power testing applications. Combining the capabilities of a power amplifier, arbitrary waveform generator, multimeter, oscilloscope, harmonic analyzer, and power analyzer in a single instrument, it provides an integrated solution for AC and DC power testing. The instrument includes 16-bit precision measurement capabilities and extensive protection features for devices under test, making it ideal for power supply testing, UPS characterization, avionics applications, and power factor corrected equipment validation.

Key Features

• 375 VA single-phase AC output with 0-300 Vrms range and 3.25 A RMS current (40 A peak)
• DC voltage capability from ±425 V with 2.5 A RMS (40 A instantaneous) and 285 W power capacity
• 16-bit precision measurements including RMS, DC, and AC+DC voltage and current
• Real, apparent, and reactive power measurements
• Harmonic analysis up to the 50th harmonic with THD (total harmonic distortion) measurement
• Triggered acquisition of digitized voltage and current waveforms
• Integrated transient waveform generation for simulating AC line disturbances
• LAN/LXI Core, USB, and GPIB connectivity for flexible integration
• Extensive output protection: overcurrent, overvoltage, overpower, and overtemperature
