Kikusui PAN16-30A

The Kikusui PAN16-30A is a single-output programmable DC power supply delivering 700 W across 0 to 16 V and 0 to 30 A. Built on the PAN-A series platform, this unit combines an FET pre-regulator with series regulation to achieve exceptionally low output noise and stable DC delivery. The architecture minimizes power-source harmonic distortion through phase control, making it suitable for sensitive component testing and precision measurement applications. Comprehensive protection includes adjustable overvoltage protection (10% to 110% of rated output), overcurrent limiting at approximately 110% of rated current, and thermal cutoff at 100°C. The CV/CC automatic crossover system transitions between constant voltage and constant current modes without operator intervention.
