Elgar CW2501P AC Power Source 2.5kVA

The Elgar CW2501P is a 2500 VA programmable AC power source designed for applications requiring precise and reliable power delivery. It features a switch-mode design and offers both benchtop and rackmount configurations, with the 2500 VA model being 3U high and equipped with rear panel output connections. This model is part of the ContinuousWave (CW) Series, known for providing clean single-phase power at a competitive price-performance ratio. The CW2501P is suitable for ATE systems, laboratory use, and component testing, including applications like testing for real-world sine wave power conditions, 400 Hz avionics testing, ballast testing, and power supply verification.
