January 8, 2025 - Vista, California - Transcat | Axiom Test Equipment, has published a new blog post
that covers how AC Power Sources are able to support AC/DC power testing according
to numerous industrial and military standards. These power sources are available
with software to coordinate
standards-based AC/DC power testing with single-, two-, and three-phase power
supplies.
Industrial standards such as IEC 61000-4-11 and IEC 61000-4-13 from the International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and military standards such as MIL-STD-704 are
just a few of the solid guidelines for AC power testing; they are typically programmed
into the test software available for modern AC power sources. Measurement-grade
AC electrical power sources typically include power conversion circuitry and can
supply DC power over wide ranges. Such sources may produce AC and DC power separately
or simultaneously and provide precise control of key electrical parameters, such
as voltage, current, fundamental frequencies, harmonic frequencies, phase, and even
harmonics.
The size of an AC + DC power source will depend on its functionality and output
power, with housings ranging from single-space (1U) rack-mount enclosures to much
larger, floor-standing racks of units in series or parallel for generating high
power levels. Learn more about the most important equipment you will need by reading

High-Performance AC Sources Built For Standards Based Testing
Providing power for testing complex electronic devices requires reliable,
high-performance AC sources which often also deliver DC power. Fortunately,
Transcat | Axiom Rentals offers a variety of versatile sources that can not only
supply AC/DC power but also monitor its electrical parameters over widely
changing environmental conditions. To support AC/DC power testing according to
numerous industrial and military standards, these power sources are available
with software to coordinate standards-based AC/DC power testing with single-,
two-, and three-phase power supplies.
Industrial and military standards provide guidelines for evaluating a device
under test (DUT) on AC or DC power. Industrial standards such as IEC 61000-4-11
and IEC 61000-4-13 from the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and
military standards such as MIL-STD-704 are just a few of the solid guidelines
for AC power testing; they are typically programmed into the test software
available for modern AC power sources.
As an example, military standard MIL-STD-704F, developed for testing the
electric power requirements of aircraft avionics and electronic systems, defines
AC requirements for the many component parts of aircraft electrical power
systems, including main and emergency power sources, power conversion equipment,
control and protection devices, and interconnections such as wires, cables, and
connectors.
Measurement-grade AC electrical power sources typically include power
conversion circuitry and can supply DC power over wide ranges. Such sources may
produce AC and DC power separately or simultaneously and provide precise control
of key electrical parameters, such as voltage, current, fundamental frequencies,
harmonic frequencies, phase, and even harmonics.
The size of an AC + DC power source will depend on its functionality and
output power, with housings ranging from single-space (1U) rack-mount enclosures
to much larger, floor-standing racks of units in series or parallel for
generating high power levels. Standards testing is usually simplified by remote
control of a power source through an available interface, such as USB, GPIB, or
RS-232, using an external computer with the appropriate test software...

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling
2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed
formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit
design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at
the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps
while tying up your telephone line, and a lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail"
when a new message arrived...
