Xantrex XDC20-600 /GPIB

The Xantrex XDC20-600 /GPIB is a 12 kW programmable DC power supply engineered for automated test equipment, burn-in, production testing, and OEM applications requiring precise voltage and current control. An embedded controller enables menu-driven auto-sequencing of complex test routines without external computers, storing up to ten multi-step programs for flexible execution via manual or external triggers. The unit delivers 0–20 VDC at 0–600 ADC with exceptional output stability: ±0.15% regulation across line and load variation, ±0.15% programming accuracy, and 10 mV rms ripple. Configurable protection set points and ten storable configurations support diverse test scenarios. The 6U rackmount chassis integrates GPIB (IEEE 488.2/SCPI) for remote automation, RS-232 for local control, and analog programming inputs (0–5V or 0–10V selectable). Zero voltage soft switching and standard power factor correction deliver 89% typical efficiency across 3-phase 208 VAC input (optional HV input 342–500 VAC).
