Kepco ATE15-50DM

The Kepco ATE15-50DM is a precision linear programmable DC power supply delivering 1000 W across a 0–15 VDC and 0–50 ADC range. Built for laboratory, research, and industrial test environments, this full-rack unit combines analog control stability with digital metering for accurate real-time output monitoring. Automatic crossover between voltage and current modes, coupled with selectable Slow and Fast operating modes, enables both steady-state regulation and dynamic response. Low-noise fan cooling and CE marking per LVD, EN61010-1, and EMC Directives ensure quiet, compliant operation in demanding test setups.
