Description
California Instruments AST1501 Power Supply Repair and Calibration
The California Instruments AST1501 is a programmable AC power source — a 1500 VA-class AC source that generates clean, programmable AC voltage and frequency (including avionics 400 Hz) with measurement, for product and avionics testing. As an AC-generation instrument, its faults concentrate in the output amplifier stage, waveform/regulation circuitry, and measurement.
June Company repairs and calibrates the California Instruments AST1501 for product-test, avionics, and production teams.
Common California Instruments AST1501 problems we fix
- Output-stage rebuild — no output or won’t reach setpoint, repaired so it sources full programmed voltage and current.
- Regulation-loop recalibration — output won’t hold under load, recalibrated.
- Waveform distorted or frequency off — waveform-generation degradation, recalibrated for clean AC.
- Measurement off — the built-in metering drifting, recalibrated against standards.
- Fan, protection, or interface faults.
FAQs
My AST1501 output is distorted or won’t hold — fixable? Yes. Output-amplifier and regulation faults are repairable, then verified so it delivers clean AC at the programmed voltage and frequency, with a NIST-traceable certificate.
Is the measurement verified? Yes — output and metering are checked against our standards.
Every repair includes NIST-traceable calibration and a 90-day parts-and-labor warranty. Email us or submit a service request.
