The 

B+K Precision

 Model 1743B DC Power Supply is a high 

quality, general purpose dc power source. It provides 0-35 volts 
dc  output,  adjustable  with  both  coarse  and  fine  voltage  controls 
for precise settability. The current output is 0-6 amps, adjustable 
with  both  coarse  and  fine  current  controls.  Two  large  LED 
meters continuously monitor the output voltage and current. The 
VOLTAGE meter is green, while the CURRENT meter is red. 

 
The Model 1743B exhibits excellent regulation and low ripple 

characteristics.  The  circuit  design  incorporates  a  pre-regulator, 
which  greatly  reduces  internal  power  dissipation  at  low  output 
voltages. The styling is both attractive and functional.  

 
This  instrument  may  be  used  in  constant  voltage  or  constant 

current  applications.  The  crossover  from  constant  voltage  to 
constant current modes is smooth and automatic. LED’s indicate 
the “CV” (constant voltage) or “CC” (constant current) mode of 
operation.  In  constant  voltage  applications,  a  current  limit  may 
be  preset.  When  load  variations  cause  the  current  to  reach  the 
preset  limit,  the  unit  then  regulates  output  current  rather  than 
output voltage. 

Current limits are adjustable from 5% to 100% of maximum. 
In  constant  current  applications,  the  maximum  voltage  may 
be preset. When load variations cause current to drop below 
the  regulated  value,  the  unit  reverts  to  regulated  voltage 
operation at the preset value. 

 
Reverse polarity protection prevents accidental damage to 

the  power  supply  from  improper  connection  to  an  external 
voltage,  and  current  limiting  protects  the  equipment  being 
powered, as well as the power supply. 

 
The  output  is  isolated  from  chassis  and  earth  ground, 

which  permits  full  flexibility  of  connections.  When  needed, 
the  (+)  or  (-)  polarity  may  be  strapped  to  ground,  or  either 
polarity may be floated to an external voltage. Two supplies 
may be connected in series as a 0-to-70 volt power source, or 
two  supplies  may  be  connected  in  parallel,  with  suitable 
balancing resistors, for up to twice the output current. 

 
This  power  supply  is  well  suited  for  a  wide  variety  of 

electrical  and  electronics  applications,  including  service 
shops,  engineering  labs,  production  testing,  school 
laboratories, and home use by hobbyists.
