California Instruments 6000LX 6kVA AC Power Source

The California Instruments 6000LX is a programmable AC power source and analyzer designed to simulate a wide range of AC power conditions for various testing applications. This unit offers precise control over output voltage, frequency, and current, making it suitable for demanding sectors such as aerospace, military, and regulatory compliance testing. Its capabilities include arbitrary waveform generation for harmonic susceptibility testing and a built-in power analyzer for voltage and current harmonic analysis. The 6000LX supports both single-phase and three-phase operation, enhancing its versatility. Remote control is facilitated through standard IEEE-488 (GPIB), USB, and RS232C interfaces, supporting SCPI command language programming. It’s important to note that the Lx series, including the 6000LX, has reached its End of Life, with a last buy date in June 2019 and last shipments at the end of 2019, and the Asterion series is suggested as a replacement.
