Because You Can’t Afford Downtime

Engineer reliability into your designs with a new basic AC source alternative from Keysight and test with confidence that your products will perform as designed. Maximize your uptime with the new Keysight Technologies, Inc. AC6800B Series basic AC power sources, and test your devices with confidence your products will perform as designed – even if voltage from the AC power grid is fluctuating or you are facing extreme inrush current or transient spikes.

Keysight’s New AC6800B Series Basic AC Sources Offer the Quality and Capability You Need

  • Intuitive user interface – If you’ve used a Keysight DC power supply, you’ll feel right at home with these AC sources.
  • Flexible I/O – LAN/LXI Core and USB (standard), and GPIB (optional). And you can access and control the source remotely via a standard browser.
  • Low cost of ownership – backed with global support and the longest standard warranty in the industry.

A New Basic AC Power Source Alternative for Bench and Production-Line Testing

Whether you want to manually control your basic AC source on your R&D bench or program it to use in a fully automated test rack, it must provide stable, dependable AC power to your DUT.

You can use the AC6800B Series basic AC power sources for:

  • Simple tasks such as simulating global AC power conditions
  • Testing varying frequency and voltage combinations to simulate real-world conditions
  • Power factor correction testing and similar AC + DC applications (for example, test your input circuitry to look at ripple voltage)

Easy Operation with an Intuitive, Time-Tested User Interface

The AC6800B’s simple user interface allows you to easily access and view setup and measurement information directly from the front panel or programmatically. And you won’t need to spend a lot of time learning to use the interface. If you’ve used an Keysight DC power supply, you’ll feel right at home with the AC6800B Series basic sources.

Set your display to show just the information you want

Simply click through the metering options to modify the display to show your measurement priorities and increasing levels of details. The information displayed indicates both the setting levels and the selected output coupling mode or configuration to allow you to control the AC source programmatically. Measurements may be AC coupled, DC coupled, or AC+DC coupled independent of the output coupling mode. Whether you use the front panel or control your AC source programmatically via SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments), you can fully access all features.

Flexible I/O to Meet Your Needs

Keysight AC6800B Series basic AC power sources come with LAN/LXI Core and USB interfaces (standard). For your legacy applications, an optional GPIB interface is also available that you can easily install yourself.

Set up, monitor and operate your AC6800B sources remotely

You can use the built-in Web server to remotely access and control your AC6800B Series AC sources via a standard browser. This control goes above and beyond the LXI Core specification, giving you the ability to monitor and control the instrument from anywhere.

Add more flexibility with an optional analog input board to add basic transient signals

If you want to generate non-sinusoidal output waveforms or output transient events, use the optional analog input, which allows you to create analog waveforms using your function generator. See page 12 to learn more about the analog card’s characteristics. The analog input option is also useful in situations where you want to control the output voltage level with an external DC control signal

Low Cost of Ownership – Backed with Global Support and The Industry’s Longest

Standard Warranty

In manufacturing test applications, the upfront cost of your power supplies is just one factor in the total cost of test. Keysight’s new AC6800B Series sets a new standard for reliability, so you can expect the lowest overall cost of ownership. You can:

  • Increase your confidence in your AC source uptime. With the industry’s longest standard warranty for an AC power source, you’ll see a lower total cost of ownership and fewer budgetary surprises.
  • Take advantage of Keysight’s network of global service and support centers. You can easily move AC6800B Series sources between global locations. If you ever need a repair, Keysight’s global support network offers the convenience of nearby support.
  • Easily document calibration. Each AC6800B Series AC source ships with a printed copy of the commercial calibration certificate along with all the test data obtained from the calibration cycle
