N8900 Series Autoranging System DC Power Supplies

Autoranging output – does the job of multiple power supplies

The N8900 power supplies’ autoranging output characteristic makes it much more flexible than rectangular, or traditional, output characteristic power supplies because they expand the power curve, giving the user more voltage and current combinations in one power supply. It’s like having many rectangular power supplies in one. For example, the 1000 V, 30 A, 10 kW model is capable of 1000 V and 10 A at 10 kW as well as 333.3 V and 30 A at 10 kW. If it were a rectangular output, the specifications would be 1000 V, 10 A, 10 kW. At 333.3 V it would only be able to output 3.3 kW, not the 10 kW of an autoranging output. Figures 1 and 2 show a graphical representation of this example.

Device protection

To safeguard your device, the N8900 Series power supplies provide over-temperature, over-current and over-voltage protection to shut down the power supply output when a fault condition occurs.

Simplify system connections

The N8900 Series power supplies comes standard with GPIB, Eth- ernet/LAN, USB 2.0, and analog interfaces giving you the flexibility to use your I/O interface of choice today and safeguard your test setup for the future. There is no need to worry whether or not you are choosing the right interface when they all come standard. The N8900 is fully compliant with the LXI Core specification.

Remote access and control

The built-in Web server provides remote access and control of the instrument via a standard browser. This control goes above and beyond the LXI specification, giving users the ability to monitor and control the instrument from anywhere. Using the Web browser, you can set up, monitor and operate the N8900 remotely.

Parallel operation for more power

Need more power, we’ve got you covered. Quickly create a primary/ secondary setup for even more total output power. The N8900 Series power supplies give you the flexibility to easily connect in parallel up to ten identical units (same model number) for greater output current. The units can also be configured to look like “one” big power supply. Series operation is not recommended.
