1.1 Products Outline
B&K Precision models XLN3640/XLN6024/XLN8018/XLN10014 are
programmable DC power supplies with single outputs that offer the
maximum power output up to 1440 watts (0 -- 36 V/40 A or 0 -- 60 V/24 A
or 0 -- 80 V/18 A or 0 -- 100 V/14.4 A). With a 16-bit D/A, A/D converter
embedded, the power supplies come with the resolution of 1mV in voltage
setting and 1mA in current setting. By connecting up to 4 power supplies in
parallel or series, a maximum power output up to 5760 watts can be
generated. With four XLN10014 connected in series, the maximum output
voltage can reach 400 V. With four XLN3640 connected in parallel, the
output current can reach up to 160 A.
The XLN series provides a rotary control knob and numerical and function
keys to make the instrument convenient and easy to use. Additionally, the
power supplies provide a memory space for storage of 10 instrument settings
that can be recalled directly. This feature offers an easy way to restore the
application settings. In addition, users can program to control when to cut off
the output. This feature provides extra safety for burn-in and electroplating
applications. The supplies also provide over voltage protection (OVP), over
current protection (OCP), and over power protection (OPP) features used to
keep the output voltage and current within safety level and preventing
damage to the UUT (Unit Under Test) due to excessive current. The key lock
feature is added to avoid accidental setting changes to the XLN series. When
the input power and the load change, the power supplies maintain a stable
output due to load and line regulation of less than 0.05%; the transient time
less than 1 ms. In remote mode, the supplies can output a new
voltage/current setting 50 ms after receiving a command, which can increase
the throughput on production lines.
