International Testing
Products manufactured in one coun-
try are often used in another. And,
though the utility line power may have
similar characteristics, often the fre-
quency and voltage available at the
place of manufacture are completely
different.
Traditionally, variacs or auto trans-
formers are used for testing products
aimed at international markets. This
testing covered only different voltage
conditions. With the increasing use of
microprocessors and logic timing cir-
cuits however, products should also
be tested at different line frequencies.
ISO 9000 Quality Require-
ments
Requirements of international quality
standards such as ISO 9000 suggest
that products should be tested as they
are going to be used. These Califor-
nia Instruments supplies represent an
new concept to meet the require-
ments of companies who need to test
their products for use from nonstand-
ard power. The portable, conveniently
sized unit delivers a continuous 1000
VA of power. Operating efficiently
from a single phase AC outlet, these
products put the convenience of in-
ternational power at any bench...in the
laboratory, the test department, or in
the field.
Five Standard Voltage Ranges
Output voltage of 100, 115, 220, 230
and 240 Volts are available to produce
all standard world power options. A
rear panel switch selects between one
of the low voltages and one of the high
voltages. The low voltage output is
available from a USA Nema 5-15R
duplex output. The high voltage out-
put is available from the European
CEE 7/7 outlet.This prevents the ac-
cidental application of high voltage to
equipment configured for USA do-
mestic use. Selection of either 100/
115 V or 220/230/240 V is via a con-
veniently accessible switch. Any com-
bination of one high and one low volt-
age option is possible. The selected
output voltage is indicated on the front
panel. Outlets for other countries are
available from the optional Interna-
tional Socket Strip.
50 and 60 Hz Output Fre-
quency
The output frequency can be selected
to be either 50 or 60 Hz, independent
of the input frequency or output volt-
age. Testing of product for operation
from a different line frequency with-
out first having to design a new power
supply or locate a step up or down
transformer, is possible. This is es-
pecially important for products that
rely on line power synchronization.
The selected output frequency is also
indicated on the front panel.
