This unit

The Kenwood PS36-20 is a regulated DC power supply delivering 0–36 VDC at 0–20 ADC with up to 720 W output power. This stand-alone unit combines constant voltage and constant current operation modes, making it suitable for laboratory testing, amateur radio, and general electronic development. A temperature-sensitive fan minimizes acoustic noise under light-load conditions, while comprehensive protection circuits - including output over-voltage, over-current, over-heat, and input abnormality detection - safeguard connected equipment. The unit accepts 100 V ±10%, 120 V, 220 V, or 240 V AC input (internally switchable, maximum 250 VAC) at 50/60 Hz and consumes 10 W standby power.

Key Features

Dual 7-segment red LED displays for voltage and current monitoring

Remote and local output on/off switching

Remote and local control of output voltage and current

Voltage or resistance mode selection for remote control

Over-voltage protection with adjustable threshold; halts switching and disables output on violation

Over-current protection at approximately 110% rated current; interrupts AC relay and halts switching

Over-heat protection; trips relay at heatsink temperature ≈100 ±5 °C

Input power abnormality detection with alarm signal output

CV/CC mode monitoring output (approximately 0 V to 1/10 rated voltage)

Remote voltage sensing capability

Temperature-compensated fan motor reduces speed at low load or ambient temperature

Compatibility & Integration
