Chassis mount supply provides programmable voltage and current

XP Power's HDS3000 series of 3,000W programmable ac/dc power supplies compliments the existing 800W and 1,500W versions and comprises seven single output models providing all the popular nominal output voltages from + 12 to + 60Vdc.

These efficient supplies (up to 93 percent) allow the output voltage or output current to be programmed from 0 to 105 percent of nominal output by a variety of means. Digital communication can be made via I2C or RS232 serial interfaces and analogue controls include using a 0 - 5Vdc input or by using an external resistor.

The HDS3000 has a high power density and is packaged in a chassis mount format measuring only 360.0 x 127.0 x 127.0mm, including the bus bar output connectors and the variable speed fan.

Signal and other control functions include remote On/Off, ac OK, remote sense and over-temperature shutdown. Up to five supplies can be configured in parallel to provide a current share capability for increasing available power output or to build in redundancy into the end-system.

The HDS3000 series is available from Farnell, element14, Digi-Key, approved regional distributors, or direct from XP Power and come with a 3 year warranty.
