Economical high-power programmable 600W power supplies

Versatile Power's economical programmable bench power supplies are now available from Saelig. The compact units are remotely-controllable, single-output DC power supplies with power output available up to 600W. The range includes voltages from 20V to 1000V output, and 1.5A to 30A current to a maximum of 600W. The embedded 12-bit D/A and A/D converters provide accurate control and reporting of both voltage and current. The front panel LCD simultaneously shows voltage and current readings, as well as complete power supply status information, and it facilitates easy setup and adjustment. The supplies feature low ripple and noise output and are CE, UL and CSA compliant to IEC 60950 Ed 3. Convenient digital rotary knobs provide manual voltage and current adjustment, and standard rear ports allow for high-speed fast remote control changes via USB2.0 or analog control. The USB input is SCPI-compliant, with LabView drivers available for simple incorporation into complex test set-ups. Integral Digital Remote Sense technology (no additional wires are required) make the supplies ideal for bench and ATE applications. Voltage and current measurements can be transmitted to the controlling PC for logging. Over-voltage, over-current, and over-power protection capabilities are provided to avoid damage to a connected unit under test, while thermal protection features protect the supply itself. The 1U-high power supplies are 70% smaller than traditional types measuring just 1.73 x 8.82 x 10.30 inch and weighing only 5.8lb, says the company.
