The Chroma 61800 providing a full 4 quadrant, fully regenerative, grid simulator with advanced features for compliance, safety and product verification testing.
The 61800 regenerative grid simulator allows users to vary relevant parameters in order to simulate real world grid environments and conditions. Supported variations include frequency, phase angle, voltage amplitude, voltage drops in either single or three phase modes. Unbalanced three phase conditions can easily be simulated. And most importantly, the regenerative feature of the 61800 grid simulator provides an effective energy saving method since energy generated by unit under test is fed back to the grid instead of dissipated as heat during operation.
The 61800 can deliver up to 300VAC at output frequencies ranging from 30Hz to 100Hz. The AC+DC feature allows for applications which require a DC offset bias. It is also able to provide precision measurements such as RMS voltage, RMS current, true power, power factor, current crest factor and many others. By applying advanced DSP technology, the 61800 can easily simulate power line disturbance (PLD) using LIST, PULSE and STEP modes.
Additional features such as the waveform synthesis function allows users to program various distorted harmonic waveforms which are required by some regulatory standards. GPIB (IEEE488.2), RS-232, USB and Ethernet interface are available to control the 61800 grid simulator remotely.
