Keysight RP5916A Regenerative DC Power Supply

Overview

The Keysight RP5916A is a compact 1U regenerative DC power supply with integrated electronic load capability. With a range of 0 to 800V and 0 to ±8A (2kW maximum), it efficiently returns absorbed energy to the grid, reducing energy costs and cooling requirements. Engineered for laboratory and production testing environments, it features multiple I/O interfaces and system-ready capabilities for rapid test development.

Key Features

• Output range: 0 to 800V, 0 to ±8A, up to 2kW
