Asterion – Performance. Reliance. Brilliance. Inspired by the enduring power of a brilliant star, the California Instruments Asterion line of AC power sources by AMETEK Programmable Power combines intelligence and flexibility with high power to create an advanced platform of programmable AC/DC power sources.

This easy-to-configure design features sophisticated technology for delivering high-performance, single, and three-phase AC sources or single-channel and multi-channel DC power supplies.

Its sleek design packs maximum power density into a low-profile form factor with an intuitive touchscreen interface placing that power at your fingertips.

iX2™ Current Doubling Technology.
All Asterion AC power sources employ AMETEK’s latest current enhancing technology, iX2™. The iX2 current doubling technology enables output current to increase linearly up to two times the full voltage current as the voltage decreases from the range maximum to one-half of the range voltage.

iX2 technology results in a source that delivers full power over the widest voltage ranges. This eliminates the need to buy overpowered sources just to reach low-line current requirements.

The California Instruments Sequoia Series combines intelligence and flexibility with high power to create an advanced platform of regenerative grid simulators.

Using a state-of-the-art SiC power-switching architecture, this full four-quadrant bidirectional AC Source combines compactness, robustness, and functionality in a floor-standing chassis.

The Sequoia series is a full 4-quadrant, fully regenerative, AC power source designed to simulate various power line conditions and disturbances found worldwide.

The California Instruments Tahoe Series combines intelligence and flexibility with high power to create an advanced platform of AC solutions.
