Chroma 61809 Regenerative Grid Simulator

Overview

The Chroma 61809 is a 9kVA regenerative grid simulator supporting both single-phase and 3-phase operation. With output voltage ranges up to 350VLN and 606VLL, the unit can achieve 700VLN through single-phase 3-wire configuration. Total harmonic distortion remains below 0.5% at full load at standard 50Hz/60Hz frequencies. The regenerative design allows power generated by the device under test to be fed back to the grid, providing both environmental and operational cost benefits.
