The California Instruments 18000LX/3 is a high-power AC power source and analyzer designed for comprehensive AC power testing. It offers a flexible AC power source combined with a high-end harmonic power analyzer, capable of addressing applications that would typically require multiple instruments. The Lx Series, including the 18000LX/3 model, is microprocessor-controlled and can be operated from a front panel keypad, with analog controls for dynamic slewing of output voltage and frequency. This series is known for precise output regulation and accuracy, high load drive current, and multi or single-phase operation. It supports SCPI command language programming and is equipped with IEEE-488 (GPIB) and RS232C remote control interfaces.
