Agilent / Keysight E3617A 60W Power Supply, 60V, 1A

The Agilent/Keysight E3617A is a 60 W single-output DC power supply engineered for benchtop laboratory and engineering applications. It delivers continuously adjustable output from 0 to 60 Vdc at 0 to 1 A, with tight load and line regulation of <0.01% + 2 mV and extremely low noise performance. The unit operates in both constant voltage (CV) and constant current (CC) modes, with built-in overvoltage protection and a continuously acting constant current circuit that safeguards against overloads and short circuits.
