Hi All, What power supply equipment could I use to provide a 400 Hz, 163 A rms supply to support the testing of a wound Current Transformer installed to an aircraft power generator? The test requirements are as follows: "The assembly should provide a voltage of 3.45 as measured across a 10 ohm, 3 watt burden resistor, when a single turn primary current of 163amps rms 400Hz is flowing." Thanks in advance for your inputs! |

You could use two Fluke 52120A transconductance amplifiers in parallel driven closed-loop by a Fluke 5730A calibrator. Or they can be driven open-loop by any calibrator with the result of a little less accuracy. If you need this level of accuracy, then it won't be cheap. What level of accuracy do you actually need here? |

Check chroma and itest AC power supply, they often go up to 1KHz. Maybe... using a big ass AB 10KW audio amplifier with an external current loop? |

Many thanks for your reply, full requirements with tolerances attached. |

I'd says its a suggestion for a GPU (ground power unit) + transformer. |
