Preen AFV-P Series

High-Performance Programmable AC Power Supply with DC Output, 600VA to 6kVA

A test bench that needs both AC grid simulation and DC bench testing traditionally needs two separate instruments — until the load calls for exactly the compact, dual-mode approach the AFV-P series was built around. Preen's AFV-P is a high-performance programmable AC power source that switches to a genuine DC output mode from the same unit, spanning 600VA to 6kVA, covering both functions from a single instrument rather than requiring a dedicated DC supply alongside a separate AC source.

Beyond the dual AC/DC capability, the AFV-P includes built-in Power Line Disturbance (PLD) simulation supporting IEC 61000-4-11, -14, and -28 pre-compliance testing — voltage dips, short interruptions, voltage variations, and frequency variation testing that would otherwise require separate dedicated PLD simulation equipment ahead of formal compliance testing on certified equipment. THD is held under 0.3% at 5-100Hz, with response time under 300µs, and active PFC raises input power factor to 0.98, reducing reactive current draw from the supply.

The current generation is meaningfully more compact than its predecessor — 50% lighter and roughly a third smaller — relevant where bench space or portable test setup constraints matter as much as electrical performance. Standard connectivity (RS-232, RS-485, Ethernet, USB) covers most automated test integration needs, with GPIB and Analog available as options for labs standardising on those interfaces specifically.

AFV-P Series
Available as a Containerized / IP54 Option
Like Preen's BPS shore power series, the AFV-P Series can be built into a customized outdoor container or upgraded to an IP54-rated enclosure as an optional configuration — 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the AFV-P compare to the AFV-S series?
The AFV-P adds a genuine DC output mode and built-in PLD simulation to IEC 61000-4-11/-14/-28, which the AFV-S doesn't include, and extends to a wider optional frequency range. The AFV-S is AC-only, with a narrower standard frequency range, suited to straightforward AC-only test lines that don't need DC output or disturbance simulation. Finch has a dedicated comparison covering the two series in more depth for teams weighing this specific choice.
What does IEC 61000-4-11/-14/-28 pre-compliance testing actually cover?
IEC 61000-4-11 covers voltage dips, short interruptions, and voltage variations; IEC 61000-4-14 covers voltage fluctuations; IEC 61000-4-28 covers variation of power frequency. Together they represent common power line disturbance conditions equipment is required to tolerate under EMC compliance standards, and the AFV-P's built-in PLD function lets these be screened for ahead of formal certification testing.
Why would I need both AC and DC output from the same instrument?
Some test programmes need to evaluate a device under both AC grid-simulated conditions and DC bench power conditions — without dual-mode capability, this requires switching between two separate instruments, adding bench complexity and cost. The AFV-P's switchable AC/DC output covers both from one unit.
