Kepco JQE36-15M

The Kepco JQE36-15M is a half-rack linear DC power supply engineered for laboratory, industrial, and OEM applications requiring stable, adjustable output with precise front-panel control. This series-regulated supply delivers 0–36 VDC at 0–15 ADC (540 VA maximum) with exceptional line and load regulation of ±0.01% each. The unit operates in both constant voltage and constant current modes, making it suitable for component testing, equipment development, and bench-level power delivery. The JQE36-15M features multi-turn controls for voltage and current adjustment, coupled with dual-range panel meters that support 10% or 100% full-scale selection for simultaneous output monitoring. All-silicon construction with conservatively rated components ensures long-term reliability. The series-regulated topology inherently provides complete short-circuit protection via a sharp current-limit circuit.
