Rigol DP821 – Power Supplies, 140 W dual output, 10 mV/10 mA

The Rigol DP821 is a dual-channel programmable linear DC power supply delivering 140 W total output power for research, development, and educational applications. Channel 1 provides 0–60 V at 0–1 A, while Channel 2 delivers 0–8 V at 0–10 A, with 10 mV voltage and 10 mA current resolution on standard models. The 3.5-inch TFT display presents real-time output monitoring, voltage, current, and power measurements. Ripple and noise performance reaches <350 µVrms / 3 mVpp in normal mode, with linear and load regulation both <0.01% + 2 mV (voltage) and <0.01% + 250 µA (current). Fast transient response occurs within <50 µs.
