Overview
The i-iX Series II is a programmable AC/DC power source with an integrated high-performance power analyzer. The combined system provides precision source and measurement functions in a single rackmountable 4U chassis, reducing the need for multiple instruments and improving measurement alignment through internal connections and shared components.

Overview: Programmable AC and DC power source with integrated power analyzer

Features and benefits

• AC output power range from 3 kVA to 15 kVA
• Integrated AC/DC source and precision power analyzer in one instrument
• Voltage and current harmonic analysis
• Programmable output impedance for IEC and flicker testing
• AC, DC and AC+DC output modes
• Multiple chassis configurations: single, split and multi-box
• Built-in output transient and arbitrary waveform generation
• High crest factor capability (up to 5:1) for nonlinear loads
• Support for IEC 61000-3-2 and IEC 61000-3-3 standards

Easy to use controls
Microprocessor-controlled front panel with logically grouped functions and a large analog control knob for precise adjustments and fast parameter sweeps via a dynamic rate algorithm.

Applications
Designed for AC and DC power testing including product quality verification, regulatory compliance, and development test benches. Supports single- and multi-phase testing, precise output regulation, and high load current capabilities.

Product evaluation and test
Provides built-in transient generation and readback measurement for comprehensive evaluation of electronic equipment and appliances under a wide range of line conditions.

Avionics
Output frequency to 1000 Hz and operation to 150 VRMS at high frequency make the i-iX Series II suitable for aerospace testing. Precise frequency control, accurate load regulation, and standard IEEE-488 (GPIB) with SCPI enable ATE integration. Instrument drivers are available for common environments.

Regulatory testing
Meets AC source requirements for EN 61000 compliance. Select models offer programmable output impedance (3001iX, 5001iX, 15003iX) to create reference impedances for flicker testing.

Multi-box configurations
High-power needs are met by combining multiple chassis (for example two or three 5001i/iX units) to reach up to 10–15 kVA in single- or three-phase arrangements. The MODE-iX option enables automatic switching between one- and three-phase outputs on select configurations.

High crest factor
With crest factors up to 5:1, the series supports driving nonlinear loads and delivering high repetitive peak currents (example: 5001iX can deliver up to 110 A repetitive peak in low range) required by modern switching supplies.

Remote control
Standard IEEE-488 and RS232C remote interfaces allow external programming using SCPI. Drivers for common instrumentation environments are available to facilitate automation and integration.

Instrument control software
Windows-based software provides functions including:

• Steady-state output control (all parameters)
• Create, run, save, reload and print transient programs
• Generate and save harmonic waveforms (iX models)
• Generate and save arbitrary waveforms (iX models)
• Download data from a digital storage oscilloscope (iX models)
• Measure and log standard measurements
• Capture and display output voltage and current waveforms (iX models)
• Measure, display, print and log harmonic voltage and current measurements (iX models)
• Run IEC61000-4-11, IEC61000-4-14 and IEC61000-4-28 test programs
• Display IEEE-488 or RS232C bus traffic to and from the AC source
