Product Overview
The SmartWave™ (SW) Series of AC power sources
offers powerful waveform creation for ATE and
power line disturbance simulation testing. Three
separate arbitrary waveform generators enable
the SmartWave to create independent, complex
waveforms on all three phases simultaneously.
The SmartWave is designed to meet waveform
requirements including DC content (up to 312V),
low distortion (THD 0.25% to 100 Hz), low noise and
ripple, plus full compliance testing to various EMC
and avionics standards.
At only 8-3/4 inches high for the SW 5250A, the
SmartWave delivers the most power in the smallest
package. It weighs only 127 pounds, and offers
the highest power density in the industry. The SW
Series is expandable from 1.75 kVA to 21 kVA.
Unlike other AC power sources, the SmartWave
delivers full rated power to 45ºC.
Features and Benefi ts
Powerful Waveshape and Waveform
Creation
The SmartWave can easily create fractional or
multi-cycle dropouts, spikes, surges, sags and
distorted waveforms from the front panel. To simulate
these complex real-world power occurrences,
the SmartWave comes with a library of 50 built-in
waveshapes (see examples on page 3). Users can
create and store an additional 50 waveshapes of their
own design.
Output voltages are created by adding amplitude,
frequency and other parameters to the waveshapes.
The user can also create over 50 custom front panel
setups with all parameters included and store them
for quick recall, making the SmartWave ideal for
manual testing.
Sequence Programming
Complex sequence or event programming is easy
with time or cycle based transient segments. The
sequence library is made up of a total of 1000
segments stored as labeled sequences.
A sequence of up to 100 segments using up to 32
different waveshapes, arranged in any combination,
can be run at any one time. The 32 waveshapes can
be selected from the 50 factory supplied and 50 user
created waveshapes. By setting the time or number
of cycles for each segment, the user can create
waveform sequences that allow automatic testing for
most any standard.
AC and/or DC
A direct coupled, transformerless design allows AC
and DC on separate phases or on the same phase.
The SmartWave can be used as a true DC power
supply. High DC content waveforms (up to 312 volts)
can be created with no derating of output power, even
with 100% reactive loads, eliminating the need for a
separate DC supply.
Graphic LCD Display
The SmartWave has a graphic LCD display for
previewing and confi rming the waveforms before
connecting the output to the load. Users can select
menus, and slew voltage and frequency with a handy
knob on the front panel. Front panel signal and sync
outputs allow three phase scope viewing.
Powerful DSP2 Waveform Programming
Waveform programming is easily accomplished using
the optional DSP PC software. The software allows
freehand creation of waveforms, using a mouse or
mathematical expressions. Real-world waveforms can
be uploaded and modifi ed when using a digital scope.
The waveforms can then be downloaded to the
SmartWave via GPIB and output to exactly simulate
real-world conditions.
