Agilent/Keysight AC6803A

The Agilent/Keysight AC6803A is a 2000 VA single-phase AC power source engineered for product development, quality control, and compliance testing. It simulates global AC power conditions across 40 Hz to 500 Hz with adjustable voltage and frequency settings, delivering clean, reliable output. The instrument supports AC coupled, DC coupled, or AC+DC coupled output modes independently of the coupling configuration, enabling flexible test scenarios.

Front-panel and programmatic interfaces provide intuitive access to setup parameters and measurement data.
