Chroma 61800-100 Regenerative Grid Simulator

Overview

The Chroma 61800-100 is a full 4-quadrant, fully regenerative grid simulator designed for comprehensive power system testing and verification. It enables users to vary relevant grid parameters including frequency, phase angle, voltage amplitude, and voltage sags/swells in both single and three-phase operation. The regenerative capability allows power generated by devices under test to be fed back to the main grid, providing an energy-efficient testing solution.
