Description

The programmable AC power supply, model AST3001, manufactured by California Instruments (AMETEK), can handle single-phase systems of up to 3000 VA using a parallel setup of two modules providing 1500 VA each. It features the capability of simulating over and under voltages in the power supply, and also microcuts of controlled duration, according to the test stantard EN 61000-4-11
