Keysight (Agilent) N8738A DC Power Supply, 80 V, 42 A, 3360 W, Programmable

The Keysight N8738A is a single-output programmable DC power supply delivering 80 V at 42 A (3360 W) in a compact 2U rackmount package. Built for automated test equipment and general-purpose applications, it combines high power density with precise programmable control, integrated measurement, and extensive protection mechanisms. The unit accepts multiple AC input configurations (85–265 Vac universal, 190–240 V single-phase, or 180–235 V three-phase at 50/60 Hz) and provides USB, LAN (LXI-Core), and GPIB interfaces with integrated web server access. Multiple units can be connected in parallel for increased current or in series for higher voltage output.
