The AE Techron 8000 Series is a scalable portfolio of four-quadrant amplifiers for a wide range of testing and power supply tasks. The product family comprises the 8300, 8500, 8600 and 8700 Series, each addressing different electrical and dynamic requirements.
The AE Techron 8000 Series is a scalable portfolio of four-quadrant amplifiers for a wide range of testing and power supply tasks. The product family comprises the 8300, 8500, 8600 and 8700 Series, each addressing different electrical and dynamic requirements.
Applications range from pulse-intensive and transient overvoltage testing to EMC applications, reactive load testing, continuous high-power operation and high-frequency testing up to 250 kHz.
The appropriate series is selected primarily according to voltage, power, bandwidth and load profile. This allows the amplifier system to be matched to the actual test requirement while avoiding unnecessary oversizing.
Advantages
- Application-specific portfolio: Four amplifier series covering different test, load and frequency requirements.
- Flexible system dimensioning: Selection according to voltage, power, bandwidth and load profile.
