Keysight E4362A/J06 Solar Array Simulator Module

Overview

The Keysight E4362A/J06 is a solar array simulator (SAS) DC power module that replicates the output behavior of solar arrays. Rated for 180V maximum open-circuit voltage, 3.4A maximum short-circuit current, and 600W maximum power, this low-capacitance current source enables rapid I-V curve changes to accurately simulate diverse solar arrays under various environmental conditions including temperature variations, aging, eclipse scenarios, and spin dynamics.

Key Features

• 180V Voc Max, 3.4A Isc Max, 600W power output
• Low output capacitance for fast I-V curve response
• Dual operation modes: Simulator/Table Mode and Fixed Mode
• Low ripple and noise: 28 mV rms, 249 mV p-p in Simulator mode
• Voltage and current measurement capability
• Hardware trigger for rapid multi-output measurements (up to 100 outputs in less than 500 ms)
• Data logging at 10 readings per second
• Over-voltage, over-current, and over-temperature protection
• Fast fault detection (10 microseconds) for multi-module system coordination

Applications

• Solar power system testing and development
• Photovoltaic array characterization
• Space power supply and satellite testing
• Environmental condition simulation
