Elgar AT8000 160V DC Power Module

The Elgar AT8000A-160V MOD is a modular, high-density programmable DC power system designed for automated test equipment (ATE) applications in production testing, incoming inspection, repair facilities, and quality control environments. This system is capable of accepting both power supply and electronic load modules within a single 5-1/4″ mainframe, allowing for up to six independent channels in a 19″ rackmount chassis. The AT8000A system can be expanded to accommodate up to 16 channels across master and expansion chassis configurations, all controllable via a single IEEE-488 GPIB address. It offers local control through a front-panel keyboard and remote control via GPIB. The system’s modular design allows for flexible configuration, integrating linear DC power and electronic load modules to simulate various operating conditions and test subassemblies or PCBs.
