California Instruments 6000L AC Power Source

The California Instruments 6000L is a programmable AC power source designed to simulate a wide range of AC power conditions for testing and product development. It offers programmable voltage, frequency, and current, making it suitable for compliance testing, quality control, and various other applications requiring a stable and reliable AC power source. The 6000L series is an enhancement of the classic L Series, providing essential AC source capabilities at an economical price point, with options for advanced features like arbitrary waveform generation and harmonic analysis. This unit can be configured for single-phase or three-phase operation and can be combined with multiple chassis to achieve higher power levels up to 18 kVA.
