### Electrical Characteristics
* **Power Factor:** Capable of operating at unity to +/- 0.7 power factor at its full VA rating.
* **Load Compatibility:** Designed to drive non-linear rectifier loads, meeting requirements for testing modern switch-mode DC power supplies with a crest factor capability of 4:1 or greater.
* **Overload Protection:** Features overload and over-temperature protection.
* **Continuous Duty:** SL Series models can operate continuously at up to 150% of rated capacity into a linear resistive load.
* **Input Voltage Selection:** Input power can be configured for 115, 208, or 230 VAC at 47-63 Hz (380-420 Hz optional).
### Interfaces and Control
* **Programmability:** Can be programmed via IEEE-488 GPIB when used with a Plug-In Programmer, allowing control over voltage, frequency, phase angle, and voltage dropouts, with test readback of output parameters.
* **Oscillator Compatibility:** Can be driven by fixed, variable, or programmable plug-in oscillators. Note: Not compatible with 9000 series controllers.
* **Output Disconnect Relay:** Optional relay for output disconnect via GPIB.
* **Automatic Range Change:** Optional automatic output voltage range change via GPIB (PIP) for specific voltage configurations.
### Compatibility
* **Oscillators:** Requires an external oscillator for full frequency range operation.
* **Controllers:** Not compatible with 9000 series controllers.
* **Multi-phase Power:** Multi-phase power can be obtained by stacking two or three units driven by a single multi-phase Plug-In Oscillator.
### Physical and Environmental
* **Weight:** 76 lbs.
* **Form Factor:** The SL and B series are described as benchtop/19″ rackmount units.
* **Cooling:** Cooling air is drawn through side panel grills and exhausted at the rear.
### Documentation
* **Manuals:** User manuals for the Elgar 1001C and related models (e.g., 1001SLE, 1001SX, SL and B series) are available.
