Agilent/Keysight 6282A DC Power Supply

The Agilent/Keysight 6282A is a 100 W convection-cooled DC power supply engineered for precision circuit testing, research, and development applications. This half-rack instrument delivers stable, clean power through adjustable voltage and current controls with exceptional line and load regulation. Dual operation modes - constant voltage and constant current with automatic crossover - accommodate diverse load conditions, while floating output terminals enable positive or negative sourcing.

Four-position meter switching and 10-turn precision potentiometers provide fine control over output parameters.
