NGP800 power supplies offer four independent channels in single compact instrument
For test and measurement applications that need up to four independent DC power supplies, Rohde & Schwarz has introduced the NGP800 power supply series to help boost efficiency in lab or production lines.
The five R&S NGP800 models target users requiring minimum device footprint for two or four independent power supplies, with maximum flexibility for voltages up to 250V, currents up to 80A and power up to 800W. Each channel supplies up to 200W with a maximum of 20A or 64V, also covering 48V automotive and industrial applications.
Channels can be operated fully independently or synchronised; the electrically equivalent and galvanically isolated outputs can be wired in series for outputs up to 250V or in parallel for up to 80A.
The tracking function makes it possible for users to adjust voltage and current simultaneously on selected channels, with programmable output delays used to meet specific power-up sequences. The supplied voltage can be ramped up to the required level in any period from 10 ms to a minute. All outputs operate in either constant voltage mode or constant current mode.
To meet developers’ and quality assurance requirements, it is possible to set up changes in voltage and current level using the QuickArb function. Using remote sensing, users can regulate the voltage directly at the input terminals of the powered device itself, instead of the power supply’s output terminals, so that the exact required voltage is supplied.
Moreover, the R&S NGP800 includes functions for logging voltage, current and power values over time for all outputs. Data logs can be exported as .CSV files for in-depth analysis or documentation needs. The settings for all channels and functions can also be stored and recalled at the touch of a button, and exported as a file to other R&S NGP800 to duplicate the power setup.
To protect devices supplied with power, all R&S NGP800 power supplies include overcurrent protection, overvoltage protection and overpower protection.
The R&S NGP800 features advanced remote capabilities and fast command processing times that fully meet the requirements of ATE systems or production lines. Optional digital I/O and analogue input interfaces further extend the scope of applications.
The new R&S NGP800 power supply series is available from Rohde & Schwarz and selected distributors.
