Magna Power SLC500-12/480 DC Power Supply

Overview

The Magna Power SLC500-12/480 is a programmable 6 kW DC power supply from the SL Series, engineered for automated test equipment (ATE) systems and demanding precision power applications. Built on Magna-Power's current-fed topology refined over nearly 40 years of power supply design, it delivers 500V at 12A output with a compact 1U (1.75") rack-mount form factor and operates reliably at ambient temperatures up to 50°C.

Designed and manufactured in the USA, the SL Series emphasizes power density and integration flexibility, offering programmable power delivery with extensive diagnostic functions and comprehensive safety features including AC phase loss detection, thermal protection, and mechanical AC contactor isolation.

Key Features

• SCPI remote programming API with NI LabVIEW and IVI driver support for system integration
• High-accuracy voltage and current measurements with programmable protection limits
• Master-slave functionality for paralleled operation across multiple units
• Remote sensing for precise voltage regulation at the load
• 37-pin external user I/O with 0-10V analog input control
• Multiple communication options: RS232, optional Ethernet (LXI TCP/IP), and GPIB (IEEE-488)
• Fast transient response for dynamic load conditions
• Interlock shutdown input with integrated +5V reference for emergency stop integration
• Mechanical AC contactor provides power isolation in standby and fault states

Applications

• Automated test equipment (ATE) and test system integration
• Power electronics and semiconductor device testing
• Industrial and manufacturing validation systems
• Research and development bench testing
