inverter specifications? 85901A AC Power Source vs APC
« on: March 21, 2018, 04:32:54 pm »
I actually own a 85901A AC Power Source.

The specification for the waveform is

 Voltage135 or 270 peak ± 5% rectangularwaveform with 25% dead zone(115 or 230 Vrms ± 5%)

How does it compare to something like a APC backup battery? I'm wondering if there is anything special about this inverter.

Page 81 has a picture of the output waveform and the prior pages have some description on the control circuit.

It also claims to comply to a VDE0871 level B EMI standard.

How well does this thing compare to computer backup batteries? Like a APC2000

I imagine the sine-wave output would be superior.. but I don't know much about this stuff. Any reason why they have such a seemingly crappy output waveform on something meant to plug into sensitive spectrum analyzers?
