AC Power Source

Programmable AC power sources from Preen and ActionPower, spanning compact bench units to megawatt-scale facility systems for grid simulation, compliance testing, and general R&D.

Programmable AC power sources reproduce the AC grid — voltage, frequency, phase, and waveform — under controlled, repeatable conditions, letting a product be tested against real-world grid variation, disturbances, and international voltage/frequency standards before it ever reaches a live installation. They're used across compliance testing (IEC 61000-4-11/13/34, GB/T harmonics standards), production-line burn-in and functional test, and general R&D bench work where a stable, adjustable AC supply is needed in place of the mains.

Below, Preen's range covers everything from compact bench units to megawatt-scale three-phase systems, while ActionPower's CORTEX AC HF extends into ultra-high-frequency territory for aerospace and defence applications.

Preen
Available as a Containerized / IP54 Option
Every Preen AC power source below can be built into a customized outdoor container or upgraded to an IP54-rated enclosure, following the same approach as Preen's dedicated BPS shore power range — useful for ports, construction sites, remote installations, and other high humidity, heat, dust, or corrosion-exposed environments. Standard indoor chassis remain the default; contact Finch to configure a containerized or IP54 version for your application.
