The Keysight E4360A is a two-slot modular solar cell simulator (SAS) with an output of up to 1,200 W, depending on the modules used, which simulates the performance characteristics of a solar system. Primarily a DC power source with very low output capacitance, the E4360A SAS can quickly simulate the IV curve of different arrays under different conditions (e.g. temperature, age, etc.). The SAS offers up to 2 outputs and up to 1,200 W in a small 2U mainframe.
The E4360A SAS has three modes of operation: Simulator (SAS), Table and Fixed Mode. To accurately simulate the IV curve of a solar array, use SAS or Table modes. If you need a standard power supply, use Fixed Mode.
Thanks to the graphical user interface (GUI), find and configure your simulation modes and parameters without having to write a line of code. Simply specify the parameters for the device search, create module groups and segments and drag and drop modules into the desired segments. This wizard creates a configuration file that is used to initialize the system driver.
For the mainframe E4360A you get optimally matched modules with 0-65 V, 8.5 A, 510 W (E4361A) or 0-130 V, 5 A, 600 W (E4362A). You will also receive the Keysight Solar Array Simulator already preconfigured, including modules (E4366A, E4367A, E4368A).
