### Technical Specifications

**Output Characteristics:**

* **Output Power:** 400 VA per phase, 1200 VA total.
* **Output Voltage Ranges:** 0-65 VAC RMS, 0-130 VAC RMS, 0-260 VAC RMS, selectable via internal transformer. The rated VA is available from 55-65 VAC on the low range, 110-130 VAC on the mid range, and 220-260 VAC on the high range with a power factor from unity to +/- 0.7.
* **Total Harmonic Distortion (THD):** Typically better than 0.4%. Maximum THD is 0.4% from 200 Hz to 1 kHz, and 0.6% from 45 Hz to 5 kHz.
* **Output Frequency:** 45 Hz to 5000 Hz (5 kHz). Programmable with auto-ranging capabilities.
* **Load Regulation:** +/-1% from 45 Hz to 5 kHz with a unity power factor. For fixed frequency systems, load regulation is +/-0.25% between 45 Hz and 1 kHz.
* **Line Regulation:** +/-0.25% of full scale output voltage at rated VA for a 10% input line change.
* **Programmable Current Limit:** 5% – 100% of range, with 0.01 A resolution, programmable simultaneously for all phases.

**Performance and Features:**

* **Response Time:** Less than 50 microseconds.
* **AC Noise Level:** 70 dB below full output.
* **Gain Stability:** +/-0.25% for 24 hours at constant line, load, and temperature after warm-up.
* **Programmable Amplitude Execution:** Options include Random, Zero-Crossing, and Peak execution.
* **Line Cycle Drop-Out:** Programmable for 1 to 9 line cycles.
* **Overload and Temperature Protection:** Included for protection.
* **Fault Shutdown:** Initiated for over/under voltage, overload, and over current conditions.
* **Series and Paralleling Capabilities:** Supported for expanded output configurations.
* **Low Effective Output Impedance:** A characteristic of the design.
* **Continuous Duty:** Capable of continuous duty at 150% of rated capacity into a linear resistive load.

**Programming and Control:**

* **Programmability:** Manual or IEEE-488 (GPIB) programmable using Elgar’s Plug-in Programmers (PIP).
* **Status Reporting:** 10 functions available via GPIB, plus visual indication.
* **Self-Test:** Continuous self-testing with SRQ (Service Request) capability.
* **Confidence Test:** Supported with CIIL (Common Industrial Interface Language).
* **Disconnect Relay Control:** Included.
* **MATE Compatible:** Optional embedded TMA (Test Module Assembly) function available.

### Electrical Specifications

**Input:**

* **Input Voltage Options:** 115 VAC, 208 VAC, or 230 VAC, single phase, +/-10%. Specific configurations such as 1203SL-14T (115VAC), 1203SL-24T (230 VAC), and 1203SL-34T (208 VAC) are available.
* **Input Frequency:** 47 Hz to 63 Hz continuous, with 45-70 Hz short-term transients.
* **Input Power:** Maximum 3400 Watts.
* **Input Volt-Amperes:** Maximum 5100 VA.

### Interfaces

* **IEEE-488 (GPIB):** Supported for remote programming and control.

### Physical Specifications

* **Dimensions:** 8.25 inches (height) x 19.0 inches (width) x 21.0 inches (depth) from the front panel mounting surface. The unit has a 9-inch panel height.
* **Net Weight:** 175 lbs.
* **Shipping Weight:** 225 lbs (typical).
* **Rack Mountable:** Designed for standard 19-inch rack mounting.

### Environmental Specifications

* **Operating Temperature Range:** 0 degrees C to 50 degrees C (32 degrees F to 122 degrees F). Some sources indicate -20° to +50°C.
* **Humidity Range:** Up to 95%, non-condensing.

### Compatibility

* **Plug-In Programmers (PIP):** Requires a PIP for full IEEE-488 programmability. Compatible PIPs include models 9012A, 9023, and 704, provided they also have the “Test” option. The 9023 PIP is specifically mentioned as being bundled with some 1203SL configurations.
* **Plug-In Oscillator Modules:** Such as the Elgar 403SD series, are used for frequency control and are often sold with the mainframe. The 9023-3 is a 3-phase plug-in oscillator for 45 Hz to 5 kHz.
* **Standards Compliance:** The Elgar 1203SL is relevant for testing related to standards such as ANSI C62.41 and IEEE C62.41.
