The new models come in response to customer demand for emerging DC power applications. In particular, the new 25 Vdc models satisfy battery charging requirements, while 300 Vdc models are compatible with military and aerospace bus voltages, and both provide the necessary voltage overhead. The 60 Vdc models are suitable for battery and laser diode manufacturing applications.
“With the addition of 66 new models, we have tailored our product offering to meet the demands of our growing customer base,” said Bob Collins, Magna-Power’s Director of Sales in the UK. He added: “Magna-Power Electronics continues to be home to the industry’s largest portfolio of programmable DC power supplies." All models feature Magna-Power’s high-accuracy voltage and current programming, along with industry-leading line and load regulation performance.
Magna-Power’s product line of DC power supplies now spans 1.5 kW to 2000 kW+ with over 500 standard models ranging from 5 Vdc to 10,000 Vdc and from 0.2Adc to 24,000Adc. All Magna-Power DC power supply models come with monitoring and control from a variety of sources, including front panel, computer interface and an isolated DB37 analogue-digital user I/O connector. A Standard Commands for Programmable Instrumentation (SCPI) command set is supported, allowing easy ASCII text programming over a computer interface. In addition, an IVI driver is included for the Visual Studio programming environment, along with a dedicated National Instruments LabVIEW™ and LabWindows™ driver.
Additional computer interface options include LXI TCP/IP Ethernet (+LXI), IEEE-488 GPIB (+GPIB), USB and RS-485.
