Ametek / Xantrex / Sorensen XTS 7-6 DC Power Supply

The Ametek Xantrex Sorensen XTS 7-6 is a 42 W programmable linear DC power supply engineered for benchtop and system integration. This single-output unit delivers 0–7 Vdc at 0–6 A with exceptional stability, low noise, and fast transient response. It operates in both constant voltage and constant current modes with automatic crossover and front-panel mode indication.
