A Complete 3 Phase Power Solution

Keysight’s AC6900 Series AC power sources provide a complete AC and DC power solution by combining the capabilities of a multimeter, harmonic analyzer, and power analyzer in one instrument. You can easily produce DC power, either alone or as a DC offset to an AC waveform, in a compact form factor. 

The Keysight AC6900 Series AC power source is the go-to choice for simplifying test setups, reducing test complexity, and enabling you to produce accurate and precise data in no time.

  • AC, DC, or AC plus DC mode
  • maximum AC voltage at 320 Vrms
  • frequency up to 5 kHz
  • single-phase, single-phase three-wire, or three-phase four-wire connections
  • power line disturbance tests
  • harmonic analysis
  • built-in waveform generation
  • USB, LAN (LXI Core), and optional GPIB connectivity

Three-Phase Power Supply FAQ

 

What is a three-phase power supply?

A three-phase power supply generates three sinusoidal voltages of the same frequency that are 120 degrees out of phase with each other. It is a common method used for power transmission in electrical grids worldwide.

How is three-phase power different from single-phase power?

Single-phase power has only one voltage waveform, while three-phase power has three voltage waveforms. This means that three-phase power can transmit more power with less wire than a single-phase power of the same voltage and current.

Why would you use a three-phase power supply?

Three-phase systems are more economical and efficient than single-phase systems for transmitting and distributing large amounts of power. They also provide a smoother power delivery, benefiting motors and other inductive loads.

What are the main components of a three-phase system?

The main components include three conductors or lines (often referred to as phases), each carrying current and voltage. These phases are often designated as Phase A, Phase B, and Phase C.

How is three-phase power generated?

Three-phase power is typically generated by a three-phase alternator or generator. The design of the generator ensures that the three windings produce voltages that are 120 degrees out of phase with each other.

What is "power factor" in the context of three-phase power supplies?

Power factor is a measure of how effectively electrical power is converted into useful work. In three-phase systems, power factor becomes important as it impacts power transmission efficiency and can lead to additional charges from utility companies if it's too low.
