4600 Series AC Electronic Load

 

AC Load for Reliability, UPS, Vehicle to Grid (V2G) Testing

The 4600 Series AC Electronic Loads are designed for test applications that require linear and non-linear AC loading in several emulation modes with Power (Fig. 1-4) and Crest Factor control (Fig. 1-4). This programmable versatility allows testing with a wide variety of potential field operating conditions to assure unit-under-test (UUT) reliability. Products tested include uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), AC sources, inverters, switches, circuit breakers, fuses, and connectors.
