Magna-Power releases 66 programmable DC power supply models

The new models come in response to customer demand for emerging DC power applications. In particular, the 25 models satisfy battery charging requirements, while 300VDC models satisfy military and aerospace bus voltages; each providing necessary voltage overhead. The 60VDC models addresses battery and laser diode manufacturing applications. "With the addition of 66 models, we tailored our product offering to meet the demands of our growing customer base,” said Michael Williams, Magna-Power’s Director of Sales. He added “Magna-Power Electronics continues to be home to the industry’s largest portfolio of programmable DC power supplies." All models feature Magna-Power’s high-accuracy voltage and current programming, along with industry-leading line and load regulation performance.

Magna-Power’s product line of DC power supplies now spans 1.5kW to 2000kW+ with over 500 standard models ranging from 5 to 10,000VDC and from 0.2 to 24,000ADC. All Magna-Power DC power supplies models come with monitoring and control from a variety of sources, including: front panel, computer interface and an isolated DB37 analogue-digital user I/O connector. A Standard Commands for Programmable Instrumentation (SCPI) command set is supported, allowing easy ASCII text programming over a computer interface. In addition, an IVI driver is included for the Visual Studio programming environment along with a dedicated National Instruments LabVIEW and LabWindows driver. Additional computer interface options include LXI TCP/IP Ethernet (+LXI), IEEE-488 GPIB (+GPIB), USB and RS-485.
