9 1 General Information Document Orientation This manual describes the operation of the Agilent Technologies 6814B/6834B/6843A AC Power Solutions. These units will be referred to as "ac sources" throughout this manual. Operation of the Agilent 6843A is described for normal mode operation only.
1 - General Information 10 Safety Considerations This ac source is a Safety Class 1 instrument, which means it has a protective earth terminal. That terminal must be connected to earth ground through a power source equipped with a ground receptacle. Refer to the Safety Summary page at the beginning of this guide for general safety information.
General Information - 1 11 Description The ac source combines three instruments in one unit as shown in the following figure. The function generator produces waveforms with programmable amplitude, frequency, and shape. The power amplifier amplifies the function generator signal to produce the ac power for your application.
1 - General Information 12 • Additional total power and neutral current measurements in the three-phase model. • All measurements made with 16-bit resolution. ♦ Trigger In and Trigger Out for synchronizing transient events or measurements with external signals.
General Information - 1 13 Figure 1-2. AC Source Output Characteristic (in real-time mode) Output VA Capability The output capability of each output phase is limited by VA (volts-amps) rather than power (watts). The amount of VA available to a load can be determined by examining figure 1-3, the output power curve.
.
15 2 Installation Inspection Damage When you receive your ac source, inspect it for any obvious damage that may have occurred during shipment. If there is damage, notify the shipping carrier and the nearest Agilent Sales and Support Office immediately.
2 - Installation 16 Location Refer to the Safety Summary page at the beginning of this manual for safety-related information about environmental conditions. WARNING: Agilent 6814B units weigh 79.5 kg (175 lbs.) Agilent 6834B/ 6843A units weigh 87.7 kg (193 lbs.
Installation - 2 17 Input Connections Input Source and Line Fuse The ac source requires a 3-phase power service that provides 7350 VA (6000 W) maximum. The power service should have a current rating greater than or equal to the ac source’s circuit breaker rating.
2 - Installation 18 Figure 2-2. Connecting the Power Cord Output Connections The power output terminal block has a termination for each of the output phases ( φ 1, φ 2, φ 3 ) and a floating neutral line (COM) for the phase return connections. A separate earth ground terminal ( ⊥ ) is located near the output terminals.
Installation - 2 19 NOTE: To minimize the possibility of instability on the output, keep load leads as short as possible bundle or twist the leads tightly together to minimize inductance Wire Consider.
2 - Installation 20 Remote Sense Connections Under normal operation, the ac source senses the output voltage at the output terminals on the back of the unit. External sense terminals are available on the back of the unit that allow the output voltages to be sensed at the load, compensating for impedance losses in the load wiring.
Installation - 2 21 OVP Considerations The overvoltage protection circuit senses voltage near the output terminals, not at the load. Therefore the signal sensed by the OVP circuit can be significantly higher than the actual voltage at the load.
2 - Installation 22 In example B, the FLT output of one unit is connected to the INH input of another unit. A fault condition in one of the units will disable all of them without intervention either by the controller or external circuitry.
Installation - 2 23 RS-232 Interface The ac source provides an RS-232 programming interface, which is activated by commands located under the front panel Address key.
2 - Installation 24 Hardware Handshake The RS-232 interface uses the DTR (data terminal ready) line as a holdoff signal to the bus controller. When DTR is true, the bus controller may send data to the ac source.
25 3 Turn-On Checkout Introduction Successful tests in this chapter provide a high degree of confidence that the ac source is operating properly. For verification tests, see appendix B. Complete performance tests are given in the Service Guide. NOTE: This chapter provides a preliminary introduction to the ac source front panel.
3 - Turn-On Checkout 26 Using the Keypad (shift) Some of the front panel keys perform two functions, one labeled in black and the other in blue. You access the blue function by first pressing the blue shift key. Release the key after you press it. The Shift annunciator will be on, indicating that you have access to any key’s shifted function.
Turn-On Checkout - 3 27 Make sure that the unit is turned off , and make the following connections to the output. If you are verifying a single phase source, you only need to connect one bulb. Figure 3-1.Verification Connections Procedure Display Explanation 1.
3 - Turn-On Checkout 28 Procedure Display Explanation 11. Press or ô and scroll to the VOLT:PROT item VOLT:PROT 500 Display shows the overvoltage protection trip voltage for your unit. The overvoltage protection voltage is programmed in peak , not rms volts.

4 - Front Panel Operation 42 Procedure for Three-Phase AC Sources If you have a three-phase ac source, you can set the rms voltage of all three phases identically, or set each one differently. This is controlled via the Phase Select Menu on the Function keypad.
Front Panel Operation - 4 43 2 - Setting the Output Frequency When you turn on the ac source, the default output frequency is a 60 Hz.

4 - Front Panel Operation 44 4 - Using Transient Voltage Modes The ac source voltage can be programmed in the following transient operating modes: STEP causes the output to permanently change to its triggered value. PULSE causes the output to change to its triggered value for a specific time, as determined by the Pulse menu parameters.
Front Panel Operation - 4 45 Pulse Transient In the following example, the output is four 83.3-millisecond, 120 Vrms pulses at 60 Hz. The figure shows the trigger, pulse count, pulse period, and duty cycle. NOTE: From the Output Menu, execute the *RST command to reset the ac source.
