PS1000

The PS1000 is a Solid-state Switch controls the turn-on of an AC supply to allow accurate measurement of the inrush current into an AC load. It is designed for use with Voltech power analysers such as the PM100, PM300 or PM3000A. A push-button switch on the PS1000 front panel allows the turn-on point of the AC supply to be selected between the zero-crossing or peak value of the AC voltage waveform. Trigger point accuracy for supply frequencies in the range from 40Hz to 440Hz is automatically maintained by a phase-locked loop in the unit. A fully isolated trigger output is provided on a rear-panel BNC connector, so that other equipment, such as a storage oscilloscope, can be triggered when the PS1000 turns the AC supply on.

• Connects Directly into the Load Circuit via 4mm Safety Sockets on its Front Panel
• Housed in a Fully Insulated, Impact Resistant ABS Case
• Set the Trigger Point to 0° (zero crossing) or 90° (peak voltage), as Required
• Set up the Power Analyser for Inrush Current Measurement
• Energize the AC Supply
• Press the RUN Button on the Front Panel
