A unique feature of the PSI 9000 2U power source is its auto-ranging output. Unlike competitive DC sources that provide rated power only when maximum voltage is applied to the load, the auto-ranging output stage is capable of delivering a three-times higher output current at reduced voltages. This feature is especially useful when testing products that require varied input voltages while maintaining regulated output power. With auto-ranging, a single system provides a complete test solution, compared to buying multiple sources to address low- and high-voltage/current requirements.
“The new PSI 9000 2U power source includes all of the features and functions of its higher-power ‘3U’ cousin,” said Gerard Sheehan, Intepro’s Chief Technical Officer. “This easy-to-use unit has front panel controls that include an intuitive LCD display and control knobs for setting voltage, current, power or internal resistance simulation values.”
Additional features of the RoHS-compliant PSI 9000 2U power source includes a galvanically isolated analog interface for voltage, current and power programming and monitoring; digital plug-and-play modules supporting RS232, Ethernet, CANopen, Modbus TCP, Profibus, Devicenet; and IEEE/GPIB and SCPI command language support.
