Available hardware components include ac sources from single-phase 500VA to three-phase 6000VA/phase and individual dc
sources to 600Vdc up to 350A and 6,000W. A variety of loads are also available. Pricing for the 8000 Series varies with the customer's chosen applications. Delivery is 4 to 8 weeks ARO.
