The Kikusui PCR1000LA is a 1 kVA AC power source designed for demanding laboratory and industrial testing applications. It delivers stable, regulated power across AC, DC, and combined AC+DC modes, supporting flexible test scenarios including ATE, EMI testing, power supply environment validation, and harmonic current analysis. The unit features dual output ranges (100V/200V) with independent upper and lower limit settings for enhanced safety control. Built-in measurement functions capture voltage, current, apparent power, effective power, power factor, and harmonic content in real time.
