Agilent Technologies: N8700 Series System DC Power Supplies

Overview

The Agilent Technologies N8700 series system DC power supplies give you just the right performance in a compact (2 U) package. This family of affordable 3300 W and 5000 W single-output programmable DC power supplies consists of 21 models for simple DC power applications.

These power supplies are power-factor corrected and have flexible AC input voltage options. Output voltage and current are continuously displayed and LED indicators show the complete operating status of the power supply. The front panel controls allow the user to set the output parameters, over-voltage, under-voltage, and over-current protection levels, and preview the settings. The rear panel includes the necessary connectors to control and monitor the power supply operation by analog signals or by the built-in remote communication interfaces.

They provide stable output power, built-in voltage and current measurement, and output voltage and current from 8 V to 600 V and 5.5 A to 400 A. These economical supplies offer many system-ready features like multiple standard I/O interfaces to simplify and accelerate test-system development for R&D, design validation, and manufacturing engineers in the aerospace/defense, automotive, component and communications industries.

Key Applications: Automated test applications, ATE systems in R&D, design validation, and manufacturing.
