HP E4350A Solar Array Simulator

Product Summary

The HP One-Box Solar Array Simulator (SAS) is a dc power source that simulates the output characteristics of a solar array. The HP SAS is primarily a current source with very low output capacitance and is capable of simulating the I-V curve of different arrays under different conditions. The I-V curve is programmable over the IEEE-488.2 bus and is conveniently generated within the HP SAS.

Product Features

• Less then 500 nF output capacitance

• Extensive set of programming features

• Fast I-V curve change in both table and simulator modes

• Self-test at power-up from an IEEE-488.2 command

• Programmable overvoltage and overcurrent protection

• Overtemperature protection

• Serial link to connect up to 16 outputs to one IEEE-488.2 address

• Standard C for Programmable Instruments (SCPI)

• Fan speed control to minimize acoustic noise

• 450 Watt output

• Fast response time
