Figure 1-1: KDC Series DC Power Supply
The Argantix KDC Series DC Programmable Power Supplies are designed specifically for
laboratory test and systems applications requiring single output, variable DC voltage and current
with good ripple and regulation characteristics and sophisticated control and measurement
capabilities. The KDC Series comes in a 3U chassis and can operate in constant current or
constant voltage mode with auto crossover feature. Available Power levels are 5kW, 10kW and
15kW.
Simple menu driven front panel controls enable the voltage and current limit to be changed.
Measurements of voltage, current, peak current and power can also be read from the front panel
LED displays.
The front panel contains an output on/off button for controlling the DC supply output and an output
LED indicator that informs the operator of the output status at all time.
The LCD display is used to display the programmed voltage and current as well as all
measurements. More advanced functions can be accessed through nested levels of menus.
A standard RS232C and optional IEEE 488 interface is available for applications that require
remote control and measurements. While operated remotely, the front panel can be locked out
and the remote control status is indicated by a REMOTE LED.
A power on/off switch can be used to turn the DC supply on or off.
