Compact bench power supply provides 175W
The EX355, new from TTi (Thurlby Thandar Instruments), is a single-output laboratory DC power supply providing an output from 0 to 35V at 0 to 5A.
Programmable power-supplies offer outputs to 1kW
The XHR range of programmable power supplies, offering output ratings up to 1 kW is power-factor corrected for low current draw and reduced generation of input current harmonics.
Each system consists of a subrack housing and load modules which are rated at 50, 100, 400 or 600V with a current capability of 60A (100A for the 50V module) and a power dissipation of 350W.
Up to ten modules will fit into the 19in subrack.
The MCL488 is easily upgraded in the field by adding modules.
In the subrack, the modules are user configurable.
The load modules can be paralleled using the paralleling straps provided, configured either from the front panel or computer bus, and controlled as a single channel.
This provides one channel at 0-600A and 3500W, ten channels at 60A and 350W or any configuration in between.
All functions that are available for a single module are available in the multichannel configuration.
Complete operation including constant current, constant resistance, constant power and constant voltage is available when operating a single module or when the modules are paralleled.
All functions, including linking modules in parallel through software, are programmed via the user-friendly front panel, the IEEE488 bus or the optional RS232 interface.
The front panel simultaneously displays voltage, current, wattage and mode for each installed module.
