The E4367A Fully Assembled Multiple-Output SAS

The E4367A is a preconfigured mainframe that is shipped as a fully tested and assembled instrument. It consists of the E4360A mainframe and two E4361A low voltage modules.

The E4360A SAS Mainframe is an instrument specifically designed for solar array simulation. It is a module-based solar array simulator that comprises the mainframe (E4360A) and holds two E4362A modules. The E4360A provides up to 2 outputs and up to 1200 W in a compact 2U-high mainframe, making it a space-efficient solution for any laboratory or testing facility.

The E4360A SAS mainframe is designed with space efficiency in mind. Its 2U high size saves valuable rack space. It also features standard interfaces, including LAN, USB, and GPIB, for seamless integration into test systems. Its client-server model server control allows access to the system by multiple applications and an internet browser web monitor for viewing the status of the system remotely.

To further simplify test system software development, the 14360A System Control Tool software package is included, enabling efficient programming and control of multiple SASs. It is shipped standard with every E4360 Modular Mainframe. There are three components of the 14360A System Control Tools: the system driver, the configuration wizard, and the server control.

As for the Keysight E4361A included modules, they are each 510W solar array simulator DC power modules that simulate the output characteristics of a solar array. The E4361A is primarily a current source with very low output capacitance. It offers fast I-V curve changes allowing you to accurately simulate the output of different solar arrays under various environmental conditions (ex. temperature, age, eclipse, spin etc.).

With the E4360A mainframe and its two E4361A modules, engineers and researchers are empowered to accurately simulate solar array behavior when conducting solar power testing and development. Applications for the instrument include satellite testing and residential photovoltaic (PV) testing.
