Welcome to R&S NGE100
The two or three-channel power supply series are based on a classical trans-
former concept with high efficiency electronic pre-regulators and secondary linear
regulators. This concept allows the instrument to achieve the high output power
within a minimum space, high efficiency and lowest residual ripple.
The R&S NGE100 power supply series feature galvanically isolated, floating over-
load and short-circuit proof outputs with adjustable power ratings. The outputs
can be connected in series or in parallel, thus making high currents and voltages
available.
Multi-purpose protection functions are available for each channel which you can
set separately, such as overcurrent protection (OCP), overvoltage protection
(OVP), overpower protection (OPP) and overtemperature protection (OTP). If
such a limit is reached, the affected output channel is automatically turned off and
an indicator message (FUSE, OVP, OPP or OTP) is displayed. The overcurrent
protection can be linked to other channel (FuseLink function). In this case, all
linked channels are turned off when one of the linked channels reaches a limit.
The EasyArb function allows channel 1 to have a freely definable voltage and cur-
rent sequences with a timeframe as short as 10 ms. It allows you to vary the volt-
age or current limit during a test sequence, for example to simulate different
charging conditions of a battery. With EasyRamp function, the R&S NGE100 pro-
vides the operating condition to simulate the continuous rise of the supply voltage
within a defined timeframe of 10 ms to 10 s.
All R&S NGE100 power supply series are equipped with a color LCD display (320
x 240 pixels). The R&S NGE100 comes with a USB interface and optional LAN
(LXI) and wireless LAN (WLAN) interface. With optional digital I/O interfaces
installed at the rear panel, the R&S NGE100 provides a set of 4-bit digital interfa-
ces that can be individually used as trigger inputs or outputs.
For models with WLAN, network connection can also be established wirelessly.
