Magna Power SL160-9/UI+GPIB DC Power Supply

Overview

The Magna Power SL160-9/UI+GPIB is a programmable single-output DC power supply from the SL Series, designed for automatic test equipment (ATE) systems and laboratory applications. This model adds IEEE-488 GPIB communications to the base SL160-9/UI, delivering 160V at 9A (1.5kW output) in a compact 1U (1.75" height) rack-mount form factor. The GPIB interface enables integration with legacy test systems and instrument racks while maintaining Magna-Power's current-fed topology and nearly 40 years of power supply innovation.
