The AP series power supplies utilise an autoranging concept and can provide a wide and adjustable range of voltage and current combinations within their constant power envelope. This is ideal for bench or systems use because a single unit will often meet your future as well as present needs.

Benefits | |
Compact and Efficient | Because they utilise an efficient switchmode topology AP Series units are compact and relatively lightweight for their considerable power outputs. They are suitable for stand-alone bench use or for integrating into systems |
Powerful Outputs | The voltage and current capability of the units is shown graphically in the SPECIFICATION section and can be determined when in use from two front panel bar graphs which show volts with available current, and current with available volts. |
Protected | CV/CI power supplies are inherently safe as both output voltage and current will be automatically limited to the preset values. |
Remote Sensing | When supplying a load which is some distance from the output, the remote sensing terminals should be used to maintain regulation at the load rather than at the unit’s output terminals. Up to 0.5 volts drop per load lead can be allowed for without degrading the specified CV performance. |
Multiple Unit Operation | Up to four units can be connected for auto-parallel (master/slave) operation to increase total output current. |
