Keysight N8957A DC System Power Supply

Overview

The Keysight N8957A is a high-power programmable DC power supply designed for automated test equipment (ATE) applications. Part of the N8900 Series, it provides 15 kW of output power with autoranging capability, enabling flexible voltage and current combinations from 80V to 1500V at up to 30A. The compact 3U form factor delivers unprecedented power density, making it ideal for test systems requiring just the right performance at the right price.

The autoranging output characteristic enables multiple voltage and current combinations at full power, eliminating the need for multiple traditional power supplies. Built-in voltage and current measurement circuits provide accurate feedback, and multiple standard I/O interfaces simplify system integration.
