The Chroma 6400 series Programmable AC Power Source uses state of the art PWM technology to deliver pure, instrument grade AC power at a very low cost never achieved before. The 6400 AC power source offers maximum rated power for any output voltage from 0 to 300VAC, at any frequency from 45 to 1K Hz. It is not only suitable for commercial applications (47-63Hz), but also for avionics, marine, military applications at 400Hz.
All models generate very clean output with typical distortion less than 0.3%! Incorporating a power factor correction circuit, the 6400 AC power source yields higher efficiency, and delivers more output power than competitive instruments. It is capable of high peak repetitive current needed to drive most electronic products with high crest factor input design.
The 6400 AC power source uses advanced circuit to offer precision and high speed measurement of true RMS voltage, true RMS current, true power, frequency, power factor, and current crest factor.

Programmable AC Power Source Model 6400 Series
Chroma 6400 Series Programmable AC Power Source uses state of the art PWM technology to deliver pure, instrument grade AC power at very low cost ever achieved before. The 6400 AC power source offers maximum rated power for the output voltage from 0 to 300VAC, at the frequency from 45 to 1kHz. It is not only suitable for commercial applications (47-63Hz), but also for avionics, marine, and military applications at 400Hz.
The 6400 Series Programmable AC Power Source generates very clean output with typical distortion less than 0.3%. With the incorporated of power factor correction circuit, the 6400 AC Power Source yields higher efficiency and delivers more output power than competitive instruments. Furthermore, it is capable of providing high peak repetitive current that is required to drive most electronic products with high crest factor input design.
The 6400 AC Power Source uses advanced DSP circuit to offer precision and high-speed measurement for true RMS voltage, true RMS current, true power, frequency, power factor, and current crest factor.
The 6400 AC Power Source is very easy to operate through the front panel keypad, or the remote controller via GPIB, RS-232 or APG (Analog Programming) interface. The optional interface is designed as a plug-in card to change the unit in seconds into a computer controlled system power source.
Designed with self-diagnostic routine and protec- tions against over voltage, under voltage, over- power, over current, over temperature and fan fail, the instrument has the qualities and reliability that can suit for the most demanding applications in production tests, R&D design, and QA verification.
THE COST EFFECTIVE PROGRAMMABLE AC POWER SOURCES
The 6400 Series AC Power Source supplies very clean output with typical output distortion less than 0.3% THD. The output is transformer isolated (6404 & 6408) providing an exceptionally low total harmonic distortion without sacrificing efficiency. Remote sense connections are provided for superb output regulation to compensate for load line losses while keeping the output at a precise level regardless of output load condition.
The 6400 Series incorporates input power factor correction circuitry resulting in high efficiency and lower input line current. The 6400 Series employs advanced DSP circuitry (6404 & 6408) or 16-bit measurement circuit to provide precise high-speed measurement of the output for true RMS voltage, true RMS current, true power, frequency, power factor, and current crest factor. These output measurements can be displayed on the large, easy to read, front panel readout. The 6400 Series are easy to operate using the front panel keypad, (6404 & 6408) with 9-user programmable output voltage, frequency, and current limit combinations for quick and consistent testing. An optional controller can be added for GPIB, RS232 or analog programming for completely automated testing applications. The interface is a plug-in card that can change the 6400 from a manual unit to a computer-controlled system AC power source.
With the small 5.25 inches height packaged (6404 & 6408), and lightweight, the model 6400 is perfectly suitable for bench top applications where space is at a premium. The easy to use and easy to read front panel control/readout system makes setup and quick measurements simple. The front panel receptacles can be used for most line cord plugs without adapters. Rear panel terminals are also provided for hard-wired connections. A temperature controlled fan speed circuit is used to keep fan noise reduced when operating on the bench or in a quiet lab environment. The 6400 Series can also be easily rack-mounted without special mounting kits or modifications.
The wide output voltage range of 0-300 VAC (0-500VAC for Model 6460) can be selected for either 0-150 VAC or 0-300 VAC, or set to auto-ranging output voltage. The 45-1000 Hz output frequency range provides excellent flexibility in a small compact unit with a great performance / cost ratio. The programmable current limit adds to the flexibility while reducing current flow potential for non-destructive testing easily.
The 6400 Series provides a self-diagnostic routine, easy to set programmable output over voltage limit, input line under voltage protection, output overpower, over current, over temperature, and fan failure protection.
The 6400 Series offers quality, reliability, and flexibility for the most demanding applications in production tests, R&D, and QA verification.
