Modular multiple-output supply puts power to test
A new multi-output programmable DC power system offers power modules as high as 2.4kW.
Budget pricing for lab supplies up to 420W
A new series of low-cost/low-power adjustable DC power supplies provides engineers with fast and flexible power sources suitable for a range of applications.
The supplies feature an embedded controller, with a menu-driven auto sequencing capability allowing complex test sequences to be entered and saved via the front panel, without the need for external computers or software.
The XDC Series offers up to ten different test programs, each with up to 99 voltage level steps varying from milliseconds to days.
Programs can be executed by a manual or external trigger, or via a computer interface.
A technician can single step through a sequence, run "n" times, or run continuously when triggered from either the front panel or remotely.
This stand-alone capability can be used for constructing simple voltage ramps, battery charging and simulation of battery voltage at engine startup, component testing and MIL704E testing.
Standard XDC Series features include RS232 and fully isolated analogue control, extensive self-protection mechanisms, "soft switching" for better noise performance, efficiency and reliability, and power factor correction for lower current draw and low harmonic current generation.
Both the XDC 6 and 12 kW are available in ten models, and can also be configured into high-power systems of 18, 24 or 30 kW by adding parallel XDC 6kW slave modules that are controlled from a master XDC unit with a CANbus communications link.
