AMETEK Sorensen DCS150-8ER DC Power Supply

Overview

The AMETEK Sorensen DCS150-8 is a 1.2 kW programmable DC power supply designed for laboratory and industrial testing applications. This switched-mode supply utilizes advanced packaging to deliver continuous full output power across any voltage and amperage combination within its rated limits, all in a compact, low-profile chassis.

The DCS series features an intuitive front panel with dual 10-turn potentiometers for simultaneous voltage and current adjustment and display. Status LEDs indicate operational conditions including overtemperature, remote programming mode, shutdown state, and over-voltage protection status. The supply operates seamlessly in both constant voltage and constant current modes.
