Bidirectional Programmable DC Power Supply for Power Test
N351 is designed for tests that need current to flow both from the supply to the DUT and from the DUT back to the grid. Regenerative operation can reduce heat dissipation and improve test-system efficiency. The 1U chassis combines high power density with standard LAN, RS232, RS485, and CAN interfaces for laboratory and ATE integration.
Model Selection
| Model | Voltage | Bidirectional current | Rated power |
|---|
| N35125-40-100 | 40 V | +/-100 A | 2500 W |
| N35150-40-200 | 40 V | +/-200 A | 5000 W |
| N35175-40-300 | 40 V | +/-300 A | 7500 W |
| N35125-80-55 | 80 V | +/-55 A | 2500 W |
| N35150-80-110 | 80 V | +/-110 A | 5000 W |
| N35175-80-170 | 80 V | +/-170 A | 7500 W |
Choose the voltage class from the DUT operating envelope, then select current and power with margin for startup, charge/discharge, transient, and regenerative states. Confirm the facility input, grid-regeneration path, protection boundary, cabling, connector rating, remote-control protocol, and acceptance method before quotation.
