Xantrex XTR series programmable DC power supplies

Powerbox has introduced the XTR series of programmable DC power supplies from Xantrex.

It is designed for test, production, laboratory, OEM and quality assurance applications, and provide features to ensure accuracy and greater efficiency.

It produces clean power and delivers stable, variable output voltage and current for a broad range of requirements.

High-frequency, soft switching provides up to 850 W in a 1U half-rack package. This is claimed to represent the highest power density available. There are 12 models.

The supply is provided with USB 2.0, RS232, RS485, isolated and non-isolated analog interfaces to connect to a PC or other network device.

The supply can be connected in parallel or series to produce greater current or voltage output.

Up to 30 devices can be connected via an RS485 bus and eliminates the cost and complexity of requiring GPIB cards in each unit.

Once connected, multiple supplies can be controlled via a single LAN, USB 2.0, GPIB, RS232 or RS485 interface.
