B&K Precision MR Multi-Range Programmable DC Power Supplies

B&K Precision MR 5kW Multi-Range Programmable DC Power Supplies include 250V, 500V, and 1kV models that produce 3kW to 5kW of clean output power in a compact 2U form factor. The MR 5kW Multi-Range Programmable DC Power Supplies are ideal for bench use and automated test system applications. This series offers an intuitive user interface for benchtop applications that allow list-mode programming, slew rate adjustments, and a Solar-array simulator (SAS) function to generate I-V curves directly from the front panel. The optional SAS software allows users to simulate various weather conditions and consistently reproduce I-V curves while monitoring maximum power point tracking (MPPT) efficiency data.

The MR power supplies also provide operating software for test-sequence generation and data logging without the need for writing source code. Integrators will benefit from fast command response times, excellent regulation, and low-noise characteristics. This series supports USB, GPIB, LXI-compliant LAN, and analog interfaces for remote control and programming. Users can daisy-chain and control up to 30 power supplies from one PC, or multiple power supplies can be connected in parallel for increased output power.
