# California Instruments 2001RP 2000 VA Programmable AC Power Source (Pre-Owned) # California Instruments 2001RP 2000 VA Programmable AC Power Source (Pre-Owned) ## Key Features At A Glance - 2000 VA single-phase output power for a wide range of AC test applications - Dual output voltage ranges: 0–150 V RMS and 0–300 V RMS line-to-neutral - 16 Hz to 5000 Hz output frequency range covering commercial, military, and avionics applications - High peak current capability to drive non-linear loads (22.2 A peak high range / 44.5 A peak low range) - Programmable current limit with constant-current or constant-voltage mode and over-temperature and over-voltage protection - Optional precision measurements (Option -OP1): TRMS voltage, TRMS current, peak current, crest factor, real power, and power factor - Optional IEEE-488 and RS232C remote control with SCPI command language and Windows graphical user interface software (Option -OP1) - 5.25-inch rack-mount enclosure with selectable input voltage ranges (103–127 V or 187–253 V RMS) The California Instruments 2001RP is a programmable AC power source that delivers up to 2000 VA of single-phase output power from a 5.25-inch rack-mount chassis. The unit provides dual output voltage ranges of 0–150 V RMS and 0–300 V RMS line-to-neutral, with an output frequency range that extends from 16 Hz to 5000 Hz. Front-panel digital rotary encoders set voltage and frequency, and settings and measurements are displayed on dual 4-digit LCD readouts. The 2001RP is positioned for product development, quality control, and avionics applications. For product development, the precise voltage regulation and wide frequency range make it a general-purpose lab AC source, and built-in measurements may be added (Option -OP1) to extend its usefulness for design work on AC-powered products. For quality control, the unit can simulate line conditions found anywhere in the world to verify that products destined for export operate as designed. As an affordable source of 400 Hz AC power, the 2001RP is suited to commercial and defense avionics applications, and a special Avionics version (-AV option) offers reduced weight and increased output current at 115 V RMS. ValueTronics has supplied new and pre-owned test and measurement equipment from our facility in Elgin, Illinois since 1992. Every instrument that moves through our 20,000 square foot secure warehouse at 1675 Cambridge Drive is inventoried, inspected, and prepared by our in-house technical team before it ships. Whether you are sourcing a 2001RP for an avionics test bench, a CE-marking compliance lab, or a development program, working with ValueTronics means dealing directly with engineers and product specialists who know AC power sources — not a drop-ship broker passing your order along the chain. ## Brand Heritage California Instruments has designed and built programmable AC power sources for over three decades, with the 2001RP introduced in the late 1990s. California Instruments was later acquired by AMETEK and now operates as part of AMETEK Programmable Power; the original California Instruments brand identity is retained on legacy product literature and instruments such as the 2001RP. ## Accessories Supplied - Instruction / Programming Manual - Windows Graphical User Interface (with -OP1 option) - RS232C Serial Cable (with -OP1 option) ## Product Core & Specifications Parameter 2001RP Unit Controller Type Programmable Controls Digital Encoders Readouts dual 4 digit LCD's Non Volatile Setups (with -OP1 option) 1 (8) Output AC Power maximum 2000 VA Load Connection (floating neutral) Rear panel terminal block Load Connection (optional) Universal front panel sockets Voltage: High range / Low range 0 - 300 / 0 - 150 V RMS Voltage Accuracy 16 Hz - 100 Hz ± 0.1 % FS Voltage Accuracy 100 Hz - 5000 Hz ± 0.2 % FS Voltage Resolution 0.1 V Load Regulation (remote sense) ± 0.1 % FS Line Regulation (10% Line change) ± 0.02 % FS T.H.D.
