Description
Overview
The Kikusui PWR1600L is a 1600W multi-range DC power supply with automatic constant voltage (CV) and constant current (CC) mode crossover. It provides a seamless operation range equivalent to what is offered by multiple conventional single-range power supplies, covering outputs from 80V at 20A to 16V at 100A, with extended operation areas supporting up to 160A.
The PWR1600L is designed for applications requiring flexible voltage and current combinations within a fixed power envelope. Its digital control, remote monitoring, and protection features make it suitable for laboratory testing, equipment development, and manufacturing test environments.

Specifications
| Seamless Quintuple Variable Voltage/Current Range | (Note: For H type, 3.25-time variable voltage/current range) A single PWR series power supply supports an extensive operation range, covering an output range equivalent to what is provided by several conventional single range DC power supplies. Also, the maximum output powers of the power supplies of this series are 400 W, 800 W, and 1600 W - slightly higher than those of their predecessors. You can conduct tests without worrying about power limits. |
| Best for testing a wide variety of high-voltage devices including margin tests | The maximum output voltage of L type is 80 V. For example, 150% of 42 V (63 V) can be supplied for testing vehicular electrical components, or 150% of 48 V (72 V) can be supplied for testing communication equipment. In addition, the M type (320 V) is suitable for checking designs of energy-saving circuits for flat display panels and the development of new materials, while the H type (650 V) can be used to test various components and devices that use high voltages such as automotive devices, photovoltaic inverters, and many more. |
| Parallel or Serial Operation | Parallel operation enables multiple power supplies of the same model to operate in parallel, offering a large capacity of up to 8 kW (when five 1600-watt models are connected in parallel). In a serial operation, the voltage can be increased up to 160 V. (Note: Parallel and serial operations cannot be done at the same time.) |
| Up to 32 PWR series power supplies Can Be Controlled with One GPIB Address | The PWR series supports a digital communication function (TP-BUS) as its standard feature. When used with a power supply controller (PIA4830) to be purchased separately, the function enables up to 32 PWR series power supplies to be controlled using the GPIB or RS-232C interface. In addition, the sequence generation software (Wavy for PWR+PIA4830), also to be purchased separately, allows even those users who have no knowledge of any programming language to exert output control over the PWR series power supplies with sequence patterns of their choice and to read resultant data through the use of a PC. *Note: To control PWR series power supplies using PIA4830, you need ROM Version 2.20 or later in the PIA controller. |
