SQ0030A1

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.

This Sequoia Series grid simulator is used for testing solar inverters, online UPSs, Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) systems, wind turbine systems, avionics power systems, and power compliance test solutions.

This easy-to-configure high-power AC source covers a wide spectrum of single and three-phase AC or single-channel and multi-channel DC power requirements at an affordable cost.

The Sequoia Series can support additional advanced solar inverter grid simulator and EV power electronic test simulator requirements with the add-on regenerative electronic AC/DC load option.
