The Agilent 6800-Series AC Power Source/Analyzers
The Agilent 6800-Series AC Power Source/Analyzers are specifically designed for testing products
compliant to the IEC low-frequency emissions regulations for quasi-stationary current harmonics,
fluctuating current harmonics, and voltage fluctuations and flicker. The following models provide up to
full power coverage of the single-phase regulatory requirements:
Model rms Voltage rms Current peak Current VA
Agilent 6812B
Agilent 6841A 230 Vrms (compliance)
300 Vrms (maximum)
3.3 Arms (compliance)
6.5 Arms (maximum)
40 A 750 VA
Agilent 6813B
Agilent 6842A 230 Vrms (compliance)
300 Vrms (maximum)
7.6 Arms (compliance)
13 Arms (maximum)
80 A 1750 VA
Agilent 6843A 230 Vrms (compliance)
300 Vrms (maximum)
16 Arms (compliance)
32 Arms (maximum)
96 A (low range)
48 A (high range)
4800 VA
Each one-box test system contains the capabilities of a stand-alone ac source, power analyzer, flicker
meter, and line impedance network. Unlike multiple-box ac source and measurement configurations, the
power generation and measurement of the Agilent 6800-Series are controlled by a common internal
timebase, and are truly synchronized. This allows precise measurement of harmonics.
In addition to compliance testing, you can also use the Agilent 6800-Series AC Power Source/Analyzers
as standard ac sources. The units have a SYSTem:CONFigure command that that lets you switch
between IEC mode and Normal mode (the default), where the units behave as standard ac sources. When
you run the Agilent 14761A HFTS software, the units automatically switch from Normal to IEC mode.
The Agilent 14761A Harmonic/Flicker Test System Software
The Agilent 14761A Harmonic/Flicker Test System (HFTS) software application supports EN 61000-3-
2,
EN 61000-3-3, and EN 60555 Part 2 compliance testing requirements. The Agilent 14761A HFTS
software provides an intuitive graphical user-interface from which you can:
ñ Set up and run compliance-level tests. The setting up of many IEC details is facilitated through
the use of embedded standards expertise.
ñ Collect real-time test data from the Agilent 6800-Series AC Power Source/Analyzer.
ñ Display and monitor ongoing test results.
ñ Save test results.
ñ Terminate tests based on user-defined criteria.
ñ Analyze failures or marginal results using advanced test, display, and search options.
ñ Evaluate the long-term test results compared to pass/fail criteria.
ñ Print reports and graphs.‘
See Appendix A for a complete list of supported standards and regulations.
Note A selection in the Options/Default menu lets you compliance test to the older
EN 60555 Part 2 (IEC 555-2) regulation. The EN 60555-3 (IEC 555-3) regulation is no
longer a requirement and has officially been replaced by EN 61000-3-3.
