Product specifications

These linear-regulated DC power 
supplies provide reliable and conve-
nient DC power on a lab bench. The 
10-turn pots and clear voltage and 
current meters allow fine adjust-
ments to be made easily. These 
models are CV/CC, so they can 
serve as either voltage or current 
sources. The “CC Set” button allows 
the current setting to be viewed, 
allowing easy adjustment of a  
current limit. Either the positive or 
negative terminal may be connected 
to ground, creating a positive or 
negative voltage, or floated up to 
240 V from ground.
E3610A, E3611A, E3612A
These flexible 30 watt DC power 
supplies have 2 ranges, providing 
more current at lower voltage levels.
E3614A, E3615A, E3616A, E3617A
These DC power supplies provide 
remote sensing to eliminate the 
errors in voltage regulation due  
to voltage drops in the load leads. 
Delicate loads are protected by 
the overvoltage protection feature. 
Remote voltage signals can be used 
to control the power supply’s output 
voltage and current levels.
