E36150 시리즈 자동범위설정 벤치탑 전원 공급기

Control and analyze voltage and current measurements from multiple N6705C, N7900 or RP7900 Series

Many test applications involving electromechanical components and devices, such as motors, actuators, and pumps, require a much higher start-up current to boot up. When electromechanical loads power up, they draw a massive spike of external current to overcome the threshold forces of inertia from the mechanical loads. Once there is enough momentum, the current requirement diminishes sharply and returns to its operational level. Using a power supply with peak power handling features is ideal for testing and powering up electromechanical or high-capacitance devices that require a quick surge of peak power source for only a tiny fraction of the time. It’s wise to use this power supply rather than invest in a more costly higher-power rating supply you do not necessarily need. The E36150 Series benchtop DC power supply with peak power-handling capability can accommodate a short burst of load spikes from your DUT for up to three times the maximum power rating at 2,400W. It is well-suited for testing and powering up electromechanical or high-capacitance devices that require a quick surge of power. You do not have to invest in a more expensive, higher-power-rated supply you do not necessarily need.

This application note introduces the E36150 Series Autoranging benchtop DC power supplies from Keysight, a versatile and advanced power product family designed to meet complex electronics testing requirements. The power supplies include advanced features such as data logging, optional scope view, arbitrary waveform generation, and peak power handling for quick surges. The BenchVue BV9200B / BV9201B software provides easy control and access to additional features, analysis tools, and automation without coding. The integration of these features in one box eliminates the need for multiple instruments, reduces test costs, and saves time on complex setups. This application note provides an in-depth review of the E36150 Series features and how to maximize their potential for power simulation applications, accelerating development projects without compromising quality.

Finding the right DC bench power supply for your application can be challenging since a vast number of power supplies are available in the marketplace. Not all power supplies are the same. There are multiple factors and important features to consider when selecting a general-purpose bench power supply. Autoranging power supplies are an essential tool in product development and functional testing for a wide range of electronic devices and systems. For example, the DUT draws constant power under variable input conditions such as DC motor drives and regulated DC-to-DC power supplies. In such circumstances, the ability of the autoranging power supply source to provide more current at the reduced output voltage is critical. An autoranging power supply provides flexibility because you can use only one power supply to create voltage and current combinations. The design features of the Keysight E36200 and E36150 Series autoranging power supplies manage an extensive list of applications and provide more current at every voltage level to support your future test needs.

Electrical and electronic circuits are increasingly power-hungry and often demand higher peak currents than normal operating modes when powering inductive or capacitive loads. As consumers demand more features and functions from everyday electronics, engineers need to design and build devices that do more than ever before. Most of these devices consume significant power to fuel these new capabilities. Electromechanical components and devices, such as motors, actuators, and pumps, require an initial start-up current much higher than the steady state draw. The start-up current can be two to three times the average operating current, lasting 100 milliseconds (ms) or a few seconds. A suitable alternative is to find a power supply to manage peak power capabilities because peak power ratings can exceed the normal ratings for short periods without going into an over-current mode. Using a power supply with peak power handling features is ideal for testing and powering up electromechanical or high-capacitance devices that require a quick surge of peak power source for only a tiny fraction of the time. It is better to use this kind of power supply rather than invest in a costlier higher power rating supply you do not necessarily need. Power supplies with enhanced peak power capabilities prevent transient overpower scenarios and load spikes from damaging the power supply or your DUT. At the same time, such power supplies ensure higher savings without compromising the system’s reliability because the average power will be lower than the peak demand. Using a power supply that capable of handling peak loads but with a lower overall rating, enables you to employ a smaller power supply while also reducing the weight, cost, and system size of your circuit. The Keysight E36150 Series benchtop DC power supply with peak power-handling capability accommodates a short burst of load spikes from your DUT for up to three times the maximum power rating at 2.4 kW. The E36150 is well-suited for testing and powering up electromechanical or high-capacitance devices that require a quick surge of power.

A bench power supply converts alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) and tests equipment on lab benches. It is a tool widely used in designing, testing, and debugging electronic devices. The key specification for a bench power supply is the number of channels and the maximum output voltages, current, and power.
