The BK Precision PVS10005 programmable DC power supply offers clean output power up to 5.1 kW, excellent regulation, and fast transient response time characteristics in an industry-leading 2U package.

This power supply provides many useful features such as high programming resolution, multiple remote interfaces for test systems, and a built-in SAS (solar array simulator) function to generate PV (photovoltaic) I-V curves. The optional SAS software allows users to consistently reproduce various I-V curves to test a PV inverter’s MPPT efficiency.

For benchtop applications, this power supply provides an intuitive user interface with a full keypad and rotary knob. System integrators benefit from the standard USB (virtual COM), RS232, GPIB, and LAN interfaces supporting SCPI commands. Free application software and a complete set of LabVIEW drivers are available to reduce programming time and increase productivity. The application software allows users to control the power supply, execute test sequences, or log measurements. It also integrates with Data Dashboard for LabVIEW apps, enabling users to remotely monitor select measurement indicators with iOS, Android, or Windows 8 compatible tablets or smartphones.

This power supply is well suited for both bench use and ATE systems integration, R&D, design verification, production test, and high voltage testing.
