Keithley 2260B-30-36 Power Supply
Rent the Keithley Programmable Dual Channel DC Power Supply: Two 30V, 36A, 360W
The Keithley 2260B-30-36 Programmable DC Power Supply is engineered to deliver a formidable output of up to 360W while offering a versatile range of voltage and current output combinations. Capable of providing 30V at a current of 13.5A or 36A, this dual-channel power supply adapts effortlessly to a wide variety of applications, making it suitable for research, design, quality assurance, and production testing.
For applications requiring higher voltage or current, the Keithley 2260B-30-36 can be combined in series or parallel configurations. Two units can be connected in series to achieve a maximum output voltage of 160V, while up to three units can be linked in parallel to produce a remarkable output current of 216A. These configurations are managed through a master-slave arrangement, allowing the master unit to display the total voltage and current, enhancing overall power capabilities to a staggering 2160W.
Protecting sensitive devices from inrush current is effortless with the Keithley 2260B's programmable rise time control. Both voltage and current rise times can be customized, with current rise rates adjustable from as low as 0.01A/s up to 72A/s. This feature allows users to limit overshoot spikes and manage fall times separately, ensuring controlled power delivery and safeguarding components from potential damage.
Incorporating advanced simulation capabilities, the Keithley 2260B-30-36 can mimic the response of battery-powered devices by applying a test source with variable internal resistance, reaching up to 5.9Ω. This is particularly beneficial for testing under realistic conditions. Additionally, the internal test sequence mode permits the output of a series of programmable voltage levels for set durations, allowing for comprehensive performance evaluation of the device under test (DUT).
This power supply also features analog input control, enabling users to create voltage profiles that replicate battery responses under fast-changing load conditions. It can handle complex test scenarios, such as generating a combined DC output with superimposed AC signals for noise response testing.
The Keithley 2260B-30-36 is designed for seamless integration into automated testing systems, offering various interfaces for control, including USB, LAN, and an optional GPIB interface. Its rapid discharge capabilities and fast 1ms transient recovery time facilitate efficient testing and minimize downtime, making it an essential tool for advanced testing environments.
