![]() GW Instek PLR 36-10 DC Power SupplyManufacturer: GW Instek Price: $1,379.00
The 720 watt GW Instek PLR 36-10 Programmable Switching DC Power Supply can supply DC voltages up to 20V at 36A. It features a special hybrid circuit design which incorporates front-end switching and final stage linear architectures, uniquely benefitting from the combination of both switching and linear architectures. The front-end switching effectively reduces both size and weight compared with a totally linear design, and the final linear block ensures lower ripple voltage, lower ripple current, and faster transient response to load changes than a strictly switching design. For additional power requirements, two units may be combined in series, or three in parallel to provide increased voltage or current. The PLR 36-10 provides programmable automatic voltage sequencing, a versatile Output Off timer, and three user-defined parameter preset keys for conveniently recalling frequently used voltage/current settings. Constant Voltage and Constant Current settings are available which can prevent overshoot and inrush current when the output is turned on or a DUT is connected. External control can adjust voltage and current and OVP, OCP and UVP settings. The PLR series design takes into consideration its integration in rackmount situations, integrated with other systems, using the optional dedicated rack mount adapter (GRA-427). Notably, the heat dissipation design uses a front air inlet and rear air outlet (with no air outlet on the top, bottom, or either side). Other equipment may thus be directly placed on top or under to conserve rack space. The PLR Series Power Supplies are equipped standard with an RS-232 interface, but with optional GPIB & USB (PLR-GU) or USB & LAN (PLR-LU) also available. Up to 32 units can be remotely controlled with the software provided. The new generation PLR-series DC power supplies are suitable for a wide range of applications including R&D, design verification, manufacturing, education, automobile, component and communications industries. |
