Agilent/Keysight E36154ABV

The Keysight E36154ABV is an 800 W autoranging DC power supply bundle engineered for demanding test and measurement applications. The core E36154A unit delivers 0–30 V at 0–80 A with exceptional regulation - line and load regulation better than 0.01% - and output ripple and noise under 5 mVrms. This bundle integrates waveform generation, real-time data capture, and automotive standards testing capabilities, enabling fast transient response and controlled voltage slew rates across manual and automated test environments.

The supply handles peak power up to 2400 W (3X rated) for short bursts, accommodating inrush currents and electromechanical devices. Remote sensing (2-wire and 4-wire) ensures accurate voltage and current delivery at the load. Built-in protection covers overvoltage, overcurrent, and overtemperature conditions.

Programming resolution delivers voltage accuracy of 0.03% and current accuracy of 0.1% via remote interface, with microampere-level measurement capability.
