Agilent/Keysight AC6801A

The Agilent/Keysight AC6801A is a 500 VA AC power source engineered for device testing, system validation, and bench applications requiring precise AC and DC output control. The unit delivers dual-range voltage outputs with independent AC, DC, and AC+DC coupled measurements, making it suitable for characterization of power supplies, motor drives, and equipment with mixed-mode power requirements.
