Description
Overview
The Farnell AP60-50 is a 1kW autoranging DC power supply delivering 0-60V at 0-50A within a constant power envelope. Its efficient switchmode design provides flexible voltage and current combinations, making it ideal for both standalone bench use and system integration. The unit supports constant voltage (CV) or constant current (CI) operation with high-precision programming and readback.
Key Features
- 1kW Power Output: 0-60V/0-50A range with autoranging voltage/current combinations
- Constant Voltage or Constant Current Operation: Automatic limiting to preset values
- IEEE 488.2 GPIB Interface: Manual or bus control with high-resolution programming
- Remote Sensing: Maintains regulation at the load over distances up to 0.5V drop per lead
- Master/Slave Operation: Up to four units can be connected for increased power or voltage
- Digital LED Panel Meters: Real-time voltage and current display
- Rack-Mountable Design: Compact switchmode topology for system integration
- Voltage Step: 20mV, Current Step: 12.50mA
Applications
- Bench testing and component development
- System integration and automation
- Laboratory power supply for R&D
- Product testing and validation
Specifications
| Compact and Efficient | Because they utilise an efficient switchmode topology AP Series units are compact and relatively lightweight for their considerable power outputs. They are suitable for stand-alone bench use or for integrating into systems |
| Powerful Outputs | The voltage and current capability of the units is shown graphically in the SPECIFICATION section and can be determined when in use from two front panel bar graphs which show volts with available current, and current with available volts. |
| Protected | CV/CI power supplies are inherently safe as both output voltage and current will be automatically limited to the preset values. |
| Remote Sensing | When supplying a load which is some distance from the output, the remote sensing terminals should be used to maintain regulation at the load rather than at the unit’s output terminals. Up to 0.5 volts drop per load lead can be allowed for without degrading the specified CV performance. |
| Multiple Unit Operation | Up to four units can be connected for auto-parallel (master/slave) operation to increase total output current. |
