California Instruments 5001IM AC Power Source

The California Instruments 5001IM is a 5 kVA AC power source designed for a variety of testing and simulation applications. It offers a compact and lightweight design, making it suitable for lab or field use. This AC power source is capable of delivering clean, stable, and controllable AC power, with programmable voltage, frequency, and current limit settings. It is engineered to handle demanding loads, including non-linear loads, due to its high crest factor capability of up to 5:1, allowing it to deliver up to 110 Amps of peak current. The 5001IM is also suitable for aerospace applications requiring 400 Hz power and can be configured for three-phase operation or paralleled for higher single-phase power requirements.
