B&K Precision releases DC supply for test and service
By Staff -- Test & Measurement World, 11/1/2007
The Model 9130 programmable triple-output DC power supply from B&K Precision offers stability and accuracy for electronic test, production, and service applications where multiple independent DC supplies are required. It provides 0 to 30 V, 0 to 3 A on two outputs and provides 0 to 5 V, 0 to 3 A on the third output. Each output is floating, and outputs can be adjusted independently or connected in series or parallel to produce higher voltages or currents.
Microprocessor control circuitry provides temperature stability and load regulation of 0.01% +3 mV. The unit can power up to the same state it was in when it was powered off. This allows the supply to go back to work as soon as power is restored, whether the power-off condition was intentional or caused by a power outage. Nonvolatile memory stores up to 50 power supply settings to allow quick and easy testing when multiple voltage and current values are required.
The Model 9130 uses 4-mm sheathed banana jacks, and front-panel indicators and controls include an on/off power switch, a high-resolution LCD, closed-case calibration, and an encoder knob for quick analog-like control. Communication is via a USB or optional RS-232 interface.
Dimensions of the compact benchtop supply are 3.45x3.8x13.9 in. (214.5x88.2x354.6 mm), suitable for 2Ux½U rack-mount applications.
Price: $895. B&K Precision, www.bkprecision.com.
