Introduction
The HPD Series of DC power supplies provides highly stable, variable output
voltage and current for a broad range of development and system requirements.
These units employ high frequency switching regulator technology to achieve high
power density and small package size, as well as a linear post-regulator circuit for
low output noise and fast response. A wide variety of options is available, including
both analog and IEEE-488 controlled programming, to make this series the first
choice in flexible power system design.
Table 1.1 300 Watt Series Models
Model Output Voltage Output Current

30–10 0–30 V 0–10 A
60–5 0–60 V 0–5 A
Features
• High frequency switching technology allows high power density, providing
increased power output in a small, light, package.
• The power supply delivers simultaneous digital displays for both voltage and
current, and bar graph displays for monitoring transient changes, which gives the
user the benefit of continuous, up-to-date information.
• Ten-turn voltage control permits high resolution setting of the output voltage.
• Current limit is fully adjustable from zero to the rated output with a single turn
control.
• The automatic crossover system allows the power supply to automatically
switch operating modes into current or voltage mode.
• Impedance-switched remote sensing lets operators display the voltage at the load
with no switch ambiguity.
• Multiple units can be connected in parallel or series to produce greater diversity.
• Short-circuit-proof power outlets give greater operating safety.
• These power supplies (available in single and dual outputs) can be combined
with one or more 60 watt series power supplies to create mixed units that are
ideal for high precision applications.
