Affordable, full-featured benchtop power supplies provide excellent performance and flexibility

A whole family of low-cost power supplies to meet your needs

The E3600-series of low-cost benchtop power supplies give you the performance of system power supplies without the high price. All E3600 family members give you clean power with dependable regulation and fast transient response.

E3610A, E3611A, and E3612A single-output, dual range models

These popular 30-watt bench supplies are designed for general laboratory use. The constant-voltage, constant-current output allows operation as either a voltage or current source. The changeover occurs automatically, based on the load. Each of these models has two ranges, allowing more current at a lower voltage. For higher output voltages, supplies can be connected in series. These models also feature overload protection. A continuously acting constant current circuit protects the power supply against all overloads including a direct short placed across the terminals in a constant voltage operation.

Using remote sensing capability, these instruments automatically compensate for voltage drop in the load leads, so you get accurate voltage at the DUT.

You can combine multiple units in auto-parallel, auto-series and autotracking configurations for greater output voltage or current capacity. Front and rear output terminals allow flexible configuration. Output voltage and current can be controlled with external 0- to10-volt analog voltage or variable resistance.

All E3600-series single-output power supplies feature separate digital-panel meters for monitoring voltage and current simultaneously, giving you precise reading and control capability. All models except the E3630A also feature 10-turn potentiometers for accurate adjustment of voltage and current output settings.

With 0.01 percent load and line regulation, these instruments keep the output steady when power line and load changes occur. The low normal-mode noise specification of less than 200µVrms ensures clean power for precision circuitry.

In all single-output models, either the positive or negative terminal can be connected to ground, providing a positive or negative voltage output. Outputs can also be floated up to 240V from ground.

These instruments also feature adjustable current limits, letting you set the safest current limit without having to short the output.
