The Model 8100 is a precision source of AC voltage, current and phase angle which may be used in the calibration and test of a wide range of electrical metering instrumentation including watt, VAR, watt-hour, volt, amp and phase angle meters. This single instrument replaces the complicated combinations of individual voltage and current sources, and phase angle meters otherwise required to calibrate power and energy meters. The main features of Model 8100 include: 100ppm power accuracy; voltages to 700V; currents to 220A; phase angle from -180 to +180 degrees; frequency from 16 to 1000Hz; two-, three- and four-phase configurations available; complete power quality test functions; up to six channels of energy meter pulse inputs; and accuracy traceable to NIST.
The Model 8100 makes use of sophisticated high-speed DSP technology to generate extremely accurate outputs for a wide range of real world loads.
The internal circuits of the Model 8100 use Rotek's patented digital feedback technology to simultaneously monitor and verify the accuracy of the voltage and current outputs at over 10,000 times per second.
Its dual 50W high-power output amplifiers provide levels of burden and compliance required to drive even the most difficult loads.
The Model 8100 provides the functions required to fully test power quality meters.
Harmonics and interharmonics may be added to both the voltage and the current outputs.
In addition, all outputs may be configured to reproduce sags, swells and interruptions.
Other power quality related phenomena such as flicker and notching may also be simulated.
A menu-driven front panel and simple intuitive controls make the Model 8100 extremely easy to use.
Output settings and menus are displayed on a large TFT colour LCD.
A compact, rugged design makes the Model 8100 ideally suited to a wide range of operating environments from the laboratory to the factory floor.
Unequalled performance, simplicity of operation, and flexible system configuration make the Model 8100 today's standard for power and energy calibration.
