Laboratory Power Supplies

A laboratory power supply is a benchtop device that converts mains voltage into a stable direct current supply with adjustable output voltage and current limit. It is used in electronic board development, repair, training and production testing to power a circuit at the desired voltage and to test it in constant voltage or constant current mode. This category lists Unit's single, triple and four-output adjustable and programmable DC power supplies with output values such as 32 V 6 A, 60 V 5 A, 40 V 30 A and 80 V 20 A. Choose the output voltage and current according to the needs of the circuit to be powered, the number of outputs according to the number of supply lines needed at the same time, and the output ripple, setting resolution and protection functions according to the sensitivity of the test. Overvoltage (OVP) and overcurrent (OCP) protections guard the circuit under test against incorrect settings; some programmable models have list and delay functions and SCPI command support. A DIN rail power supply that provides a fixed voltage inside an enclosure does not replace a laboratory power supply with adjustable voltage and current limit.
