The time has come to redefine your AC Power with our brand new 8500 Series. The APT 8500 Series is the most power dense and functionality rich source in our history, giving you improved capability, functionality, and a reduced footprint all in one series. These new models provide an output voltage up to 310 VAC and an output frequency ranging from 5 Hz – 1,200 Hz making it the obvious solution for all kinds of applications. Not to mention, an enhanced interface to all models completely designed with the end-user in mind.
Our 8500 Sources can be configured as a simple bench top AC Power Source in Manual mode or, as an upgraded option, Programmable mode, to be used with an interface to a PC. Programmable mode adds the benefits of a sweep of voltage, frequencies, transients, and DC bias over the course of a single sequence or several different tests. The 8500 Series includes the following models: 8512, 8520, 8540.
