The 9830B Series is a line of programmable AC power sources / AC-DC power supplies from B&K Precision. These are used to supply controlled AC (or DC / AC+DC) power for testing, simulation and design tasks — especially useful when you’re developing or testing devices that must operate under real-world or variable AC power conditions.

- Description
Description
The 9830B Series programmable AC power sources provide high performance and low total harmonic distortion in a 3U form factor. The addition of positive and negative DC offset voltages expands the AC capabilities to operate in DC and AC+DC output coupling modes. The user can select built-in and user-defined harmonic waveforms or select from standard sine, square or clipped sine outputs.
3-Phase power can be achieved by connecting 3 units of the same model in a master and slave configuration using the optional 3-Phase sync adapters. The frequency range is adjustable from 45 to 600 Hz in 3-phase mode.
