Power Designs 2010 Precision DC Source

The Power Designs 2010 Precision DC Source delivers stable, accurate direct current output for laboratory and industrial test applications. This instrument combines adjustable voltage and current settings with floating output terminals, remote sensing capability, and automatic constant voltage/constant current crossover operation. Front-panel metering displays voltage or current, while overload detection and short-circuit protection safeguard connected loads. A portable steel cabinet suits bench use, stacking, or rack mounting.
