GW Instek PSW 160-7.2 DC Power Supply

Overview

The GW Instek PSW 160-7.2 is a single-output programmable switching DC power supply delivering 0–160V and 0–7.2A with a maximum output power of 360W. Part of the PSW-Series family, it offers multi-range flexibility for voltage and current configuration within its rated power envelope. The CV/CC priority selection protects sensitive devices by preventing high inrush currents during power-on transitions. Its adjustable slew rate allows precise control over voltage and current rise and fall times, making it ideal for characterizing devices sensitive to power transients.
