Description

The I4202 is a stabilised AC voltage source, made by IEMI in Bucharest and designed at the ICE research institute [1]. The ICE laboratory’s table gives its code as J 4202 [1].

ICE’s laboratory for electronic instruments for measuring electrical quantities designed all the institute’s generations of oscilloscopes, voltmeters, multimeters, signal generators, frequency meters, logic analysers, RLC bridges and stabilised AC power supplies; they went into production at IEMI or in ICE’s own microproduction workshop, and equipped industrial laboratories and production lines as well as teaching and research laboratories [1]. In the 1970s and 1980s about half of the components of measuring instruments were imported; after 1980 about three quarters were Romanian [1].

It delivers 5000 VA [2]. IEMI’s production table lists 1,769 units made in 1976–1985 [2].

Its list price, set in 1982, was 17,500 lei [3].

Annex III.2.14 says it supplied test and adjustment benches and other single-phase equipment and installations when the mains voltage varied continuously within wide limits (187–242 V), giving 220 V ±1%, adjustable between 210 and 230 V, at 22.7 A; it was fully transistorised and could work at full load for 16 hours without interruption [4].
