Programmable Linear Power Supplies, PD Series
 
 

Contact

The PD series of linear power supplies offers a wide range of rackmount (PD) and bench-top (BPD) models from 15W to 1200W, as well as multi-channel (PDS) models. Voltage ranges are available from 5V to 350V and precision current ratings up to 50A as standard. The PD's exceptional features and benefits make it an outstanding choice for a multitude of dc power supply applications.

Exceptional Features and Benefits

  • Wide Range of Selections
  • Bench-top Models (BPD)
  • Multi-channel Models (PDS)
  • Closed-case Calibration
  • Limit Protection
  • Full Front Panel Control
  • GPIB IEEE-488/RS-232 (Standard)
  • Ethernet and USB Available

Closed-case Calibration

There is no longer a need to send your linear power supply back to the factory for calibration or remove dozens of screws to reach a potentiometer. Simply follow the AMREL calibration routine from the front panel and you should be back up and running in a very short period of time (some electronic test equipment needed). This will virtually eliminate downtime and eradicate the annual cost associated with shipping your power supply back to the factory for calibration.

Limit Protection

The PD series offers limit protection for over-voltage, over-current, and over-temperature. During an over-limit condition the output is shut down instantly to protect both the unit under power and the power supply.

Full Front Panel Control

The PD linear power supply provides full front panel control of all available features. A multi-function keypad allows the user to access all settings via an easy to understand menu system. An LCD is provided for display of important functions and readings.

RS-232 and GPIB IEEE-488 Standard

All PD programmable DC linear power supplies come with both RS-232 and GPIB IEEE-488 standard. Connectors for both are provided on the rear of the unit and instructions for configuring are in the manual.

Ethernet and USB (optional)

The PD linear power supply is also available with an optional Ethernet and USB interface.
