Chroma's New Programmable AC Source Handles All European And International Input Power Standards.Business Editors and High-Tech Writers IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 18, 2001 Chroma Short for "chrominance." The attributes of a color, which include its hue (frequency) and saturation (amount of black). See hue and saturation. Systems Solutions, a new division of Chroma ATE, today announced the availability of its new 61500 AC Source Series for worldwide compliant and pre-compliance Power Standards Testing. Offering a unique combination of high inrush current, 16-bit (4-1/2 digit) measurements, and waveform programmability, this compact, easy to use AC/DC AC/DC adj. Slang Having a bisexual orientation. [From the likening of a bisexual person to an appliance that works on either alternating or direct current. source enables manufacturers to automate international AC power emissions and immunity standards tests. Designed for bench or rack-mounted systems' use, the 61500 exceeds expectations in power supply test in the commercial, avionics, military, medical, and telecommunications industries who export electrical or electronic hardware for use in the European Union European Union (EU), name given since the ratification (Nov., 1993) of the Treaty of European Union, or Maastricht Treaty, to the European Community , Asia and Japan. An advanced PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) A modulation technique that generates variable-width pulses to represent the amplitude of an analog input signal. Like its fixed-width pulse density modulation (PDM) cousin, the output switching transistor is on more of the time for a design delivers a clean output waveform with the highest current crest factor (6 times RMS) available in a programmable AC source. The Chroma 61500 enables users to perform fully compliant tests meeting IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission, Geneva, Switzerland, www.iec.ch) An organization that sets international electrical and electronics standards founded in 1906. It is made up of national committees from over 60 countries. IEC - International Electrotechnical Commission 61000-4-11, -13, -14, and -28 standards. With a 16-bit precision measurement circuit, the 61500 AC Source Series offers pre-compliance testing for IEC1000-3-2 and 1000-3-3 flicker and harmonics as well as Japan's current harmonic standard. Fully compliant tests are achieved using Chroma's 6630 Power Analyzer and RegulationPro software -- both options to the 61500. Additional user-friendly features include dual range AC (0-150 VAC (Volts Alternating Current) See volt and AC. , 0-300VAC) or DC outputs (0-212 VDC VDC Volts Direct Current VDC Venture Development Corporation VDC Vehicle Dynamic Control VDC Village Development Committee (Nepal) VDC Virtual Data Center VdC Verband der Cigarettenindustrie , 0-424 VDC); AC + DC lets the source address any power input needs. Its programmability allows for sophisticated power line disturbance simulation including dips and interruptions to IEC 1000-4-11, harmonics and inter-harmonics to IEC 1000-4-13. Completing the simulation capability, the 61500 has an external analog input that allows users to capture real-world wave shapes and replay them through an arbitrary waveform generator An arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) is a piece of electronic test equipment used to generate electrical waveforms. These waveforms can be either repetitive or single-shot (once only) in which case some kind of triggering source is required (internal or external). . Price and Availability Available in single or three-phase configurations from 500 VA / phase to 6000 VA / phase, the 61500 Series is priced from $3,700 for a 500VA, single-phase unit (Model 61501). Delivery is from stock to 4 weeks ARO. About Chroma Systems Solutions Chroma Systems Solutions is the North American North American named after North America.
