Ametek / Xantrex / Sorensen XFR 6-200 Programmable DC Power Supply

The Ametek/Xantrex/Sorensen XFR 6-200 is a programmable DC power supply delivering stable 0-6 V DC output at up to 200 A, with 1200 W total output power. Engineered for continuous operation in standalone and integrated system configurations, this unit excels in DC equipment powering, magnet control, and component burn-in testing. Advanced soft switching technology at 78 kHz nominal frequency minimizes switching transients, reduces heat generation, and improves overall reliability.

The compact 1U rack-mount form factor (1.7 × 19.0 × 20.0 inches) incorporates efficient thermal management, enabling dense stacking without auxiliary ventilation requirements.
