Agilent/Keysight E36234A

The Keysight E36234A is a 400 W autoranging dual-output DC power supply engineered for demanding test and development environments. Each of its two independent channels delivers up to 60 V and 10 A (200 W per channel), with autoranging capability that provides maximum current at any voltage setting. The outputs can be configured in auto-parallel mode for up to 20 A per channel or auto-series mode for combined voltage up to 120 V, enabling flexible power delivery across a wide range of load conditions.
