FIVE: LOCAL OPERATION FOR SINGLE OUTPUT
MODELS RATED ABOVE 600W
INTRODUCTION
This PD Series Programmable DC Power Supply from American Reliance Inc. offers a complete solution
to power supply system requirements. This instrument was designed to assist in the development and
testing of new products, as well as is being a standard instrument for automatic test systems. This
instrument provides low-noise, precisely regulated variable DC output at 600 to 2K Watts of power. Over
Voltage Protection (OVP) and Over Current Protection (OCP) are standard. Front panel controls and
indicators are extensive. Units come with Standard Commands for Programmable Instrument (SCPI)
commands, remote monitoring of output voltage and currents is a standard features. This power supply can
be used either on a bench or in a standard 19 in. (483 mm) rack: The power supply occupies 6.968 in. (4
U) of v
ertical rack space. Designed for continuous use in standalone or systems applications, this power
supply is typically used to power DC equipment, control circuits, or burn-in component applications.
